    Great Experience
    MARK_B, Apr 2024
    Friendly, informative, and efficient crew. Overall pleasant experience. Savannah is a beautiful town and enjoyed using the Trolley to get around.
    The Beautiful Trip
    David_M, Apr 2024
    The trip was very nice and informative. The staff were great! Enjoyed the scenery and the education. We liked the timely schedule also.
    Great day trip option
    Jakub_T, Apr 2024
    Really good option to do a day trip. Everything went great, the trip is relaxing (we had good enough weather for being out on the deck). The only thing that would have been better is 6 hrs in Savannah instead of 3:45hrs. More time in the ground would have been fantastic.
    Worth the $$, Other Passengers were rude
    Jill_C, Apr 2024
    The crew did a good job. It was a chilly, windy day for the trip. I took off one star because the crew should have requested (via an announcement to the passengers) and posted a message on the doors to the outer deck requesting they remain closed while in motion. It only took one or two inconsiderate people to freeze the rest of the passengers as they went in and out.

    Not having to worry about driving and parking in Savannah. Excellent day had by all. Boat ride and bar on board bonus.
    No complaints. Satisfied with experience.
    Jean_Z, Mar 2024
    Nothing stood out as memorable. It was a different way to get to Savannah historic district and back without driving or parking. No complaints. Arrival and departure on time.

    Easy Day Trip to Savannah
    Cathy_S, Mar 2024
    The boat ride to and from Savannah was relaxing and enjoyable. Having 4 hours on our own was perfect for shopping and dining.
    Smooth trip
    Brian_G, Mar 2024
    Saw many dolphins on the return trip to Hilton Head, staff were great, plenty see especially Dafauski Island.
    Blue skies and cold breeze!
    Sharyn_M, Mar 2024
    We had a very enjoyable round trip from Hilton Head to Savannah today. The instructions of where the dock was located and online tickets really helped the day go smoothly. The boat had seats both inside and out. The morning was chilly enough that most of us sat inside. The trip took about 2 hours and then we had 4 hours in Savannah. We took the 1 1/2 Hr trolley tour. The tickets were offered for sale on the boat which made it simple to do. We did make the mistake of sitting on the upper outside deck for the ride back-it was cold and windy! It would have been fine on a warmer day!
    Fun day
    Lori_R, Feb 2024
    We enjoyed the guided trolley ride most in Savannah. Ferry over and back was very pleasant. Boat crew were great!
    Great tour boat
    Phyllis_B, Feb 2024
    We had a great time on this trip to Savannah. The crew is awesome and so, so helpful and friendly! They were very accommodating as my husband has limited waking ability and needs a wheelchair. They were very helpful getting him in and out of the ferry! Boat is very clean and comfortable.
    The boat ride was...
    Andy_B, Feb 2024
    The boat ride was beautiful and relaxing on both legs of the trip. Coordinating the bus tour upon arrival was also quite beneficial
    Great ride to Savannah
    Shane_G, Feb 2024
    I'd go again. Boat ride was just that, a boat ride. Nothing special, but got us to Savannah! 4 hours was plenty of time. I'd suggest walking and not doing the $38 trolley.
    Awesome Captain and crew....
    Roger_B, Dec 2023
    Awesome Captain and crew. Will highly recommend to friends. Can’t wait to return next year and return
    Ahoy
    Barbara_P, Nov 2023
    Always have enjoyed the trip from HH to Savannah and back. Ride is comfortable and people are friendly.
    Glad to experience with family.
    Janice_G, Nov 2023
    Somewhat uncomfortable on outside benches. Inside was warm and noisy. But it was after all a boat trip.
    Smooth Beautiful ride to Savannah
    Elizabeth_C, Nov 2023
    The ride was smooth & calm. We were able to talk to & meet new people. We saw lots of dolphins swimming & playing near the boat. We had a great lunch at the Pink House in Savannah.
    Great experience
    Cecil_S, Nov 2023
    Trolly ride around the old Town, cobble stone streets and shops on the river, the container ship coming in to harbor so up close to them.
