This cruise is not to be missed! We just experienced our 5th different cruise. Each is unique providing a natural backdrop that includes the often overlooked eagles, herons, ospreys,etc. The staff are consistly helpful and friendly. Capt. Dave provides a wealth of history of the area in a manner that is interesting and surely beats reading a book. He always... More

We did the cruise with our birdig club and hsd a wonderful time. The boat wa very nice and comfortable for a large group.The rice encluded a nice lunch.We saw lots of birds and the views on the river were beautiful.

The boat is comfortable, with large windows on the enclosed lower deck for viewing, and a nice open area at the front of the ship and the deck above. On our cruise we saw sandhill cranes, at least 6 bald... More

This is a great cruise. In the summer, they are based in downtown Chattanooga and the trips take you through the TN River Gorge, but in Jan. and Feb. they are based in Sale Creek, TN (about 25 miles north of downtown) and the trip takes you up past Birchwood area, Hwy 60 bridge, up the Hiawassee River almost to...

It... More

very much enjoyed this trip, Captain Dave was quick to tell us where the birds were and gave us some great information on the area and the birds.

We will definitely do this again. Very special experience. Saw much more than anticipated. Saw rare whooping cranes too. Magnificient! Lots of bald eagles too. Fun!

Even without the thousands of sand hill cranes (due, we were told, to the heavy rainfall and resultant deeper water) we saw when we took this trip last year, this was still a very enjoyable way to spend a winter day. It is definitely worth the cost, and includes a very nice meal. The crew is very competent and professional,... More

This was one of the most enjoyable trips of its kind that we have taken. The captain was an excellent guide. The food (included in the price) was very good, and the crew was great. Plus, the birds....We only saw hundreds of sandhill cranes rather than thousands, but it had to have been one of the best days ever for... More
