We could not have asked for more - Diane Churchill is an amazing birder - she hears them, spots them and educates us about the birds and their habitats - She clearly loves the SWR and it just pours over into everything she does. She spent over four hours with her but it could have been more. I know Wilderness... More

We booked the private Blackwater canoe trip for Friday morning. Since we didn't have a car to get to the creek so Kristen our Wilderness Southeast tour guide picked us up from our hotel since it was on the way -- which I though was pretty awesome of her. We paddled out into the most amazing, tranquil scenery we've ever... More

We spent the morning with Diana at Savanah Wildlife refuge and the afternoon with Kirstin seeing Tybee marsh and beach. Diana discussed birds with my wife which she loved and Kirstin show our son crabs and the beach life of Tybee. We had a great time and would use this group again when in Savanah. The payment was easy and... More

The guide was clearly knowledgeable and passionate. She taught us everything we wanted to know and more, plus she was a pleasant and... More

Our family loves Savannah so much. We decided to make the 13 hour drive to spend the weekend. Each time we go we try something new. I came across the Savannah National Refuge on a website. I had debated on spending the money for the tour because I saw you could drive the trail for free. I am so glad... More

I am so very glad you enjoyed your tour! Thank you also for your suggestions, and I am particularly sorry that you apparently got thirsty during your time on the water. We used to send bottled water with the guide on every tour, but stopped when over a year went by with all guests having brought their own water bottles.... More
