Savannah Port Tour with Outside Hilton Head

Monday, December 18th, 2023

Savannah Port Tour

On New Year’s Eve Day, we went on Outside Hilton Head’s Savannah Port Tour and were blown away by the vast amount that we saw and learned. It’s a 1.5 hour boat tour that leaves from The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa dock on Hutchinson Island and is offered year-round.

Despite having lived in Savannah for more than four decades, I am embarrassed to to admit that I knew little about all that goes at Port or Savannah, the nations largest port in volume – just upriver from Savannah’s Historic Riverfront.

Our captain USCG Boat Captain Peter Pearson shared his considerable experience to provide insight on how the Georgia Port Authority works. The tour also included Savannah history and a look into what a huge influence our port has.

A tour for all ages, you get up close to those colossal container ships and leave with a renewed appreciation of where we live.

So thankful that Outside Hilton Head offers this peek into one of Savannah’s treasures.

(Fall/Spring Getaway, Family Vacations) Andrews Valley Rail Tours, Smoky Mountains

North Carolina’s First RailBike Tour

Put this on your bucket list for next spring/fall 2024: Andrews Valley Rail Tours, North Carolina’s First RailBike Tour.

We did this with my teens & 86-year-old mom during our pre-Thanksgiving, Fall break visit to the Smoky Mountains this November 2023. Biking a cart on a railroad track to a historic hand-carved tunnel was a special, unique way to experience that area.

You ride a rail cart, equipped with pedals that you pedal like a bike, plus a motor-assist, on the train track through the valley past cows, goats, meadows and a river about five miles to the Historic Valley River Tunnel, which was hand carved by workers from Southern Railway in 1894. That right, we basically biked a rail cart over railroad bridges, then got out to explore the tunnel, before pedaling/coasting back.

The railbike tour is closed for the 2023 season but will reopen for the season in Spring 2024.

Go!
