This was an excellent outing. The boat captain was friendly and very knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area ecosystem and wildlife. Seeing the dolphins was fantastic!

We saw only one dolphin far away. It was cold and windy. The captain explained about the nature and the history well. Unfortunately, there were many small kids playing on the boat, making it hard to hear what he said.

We appreciate your feedback as we continuously strive to enhance our services! While we can't ensure dolphin sightings due to their wild nature, we are pleased that you found value in our captain's expertise and historical insights.

We had a great day with Doreen. The boat was comfortable, Doreen was very informative about the wildlife and the area. We saw dolphins, osprey, herons, egrets, pelicans, loons, lots of different types of animals. It was a good time, we were all happy with the experience.

It happened to be a beautiful day when we took our cruise; a real bonus. Shortly after leaving Shelter Cove, we were gifted with the appearance of a pod, which entertained us for many minutes. A second pod was encountered a bit further out. Our guide Dan was very familiar with the area, intuitively piloting our boat to areas where the fascinating creatures feed. He was also most informative about dolphin habits, as well as facts about the surrounding low country. All in all, a wonderful experience.

We are so glad you had such a great time with Captain Dan playing with several pods of dolphins! We hope to see you again soon.

We had a wonderful afternoon on the water with CJ. It was so nice to have the boat to ourselves, and our boys really enjoyed the experience. We weren’t sure we would see many dolphins or other wildlife given the cold, windy day, but we were pleasantly surprised to see about eight dolphins in a variety of birds. CJ was very informative, and the boys loved him. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting out and about off of Hilton head.

CJ was amazing! He was truly meant to do the tour! The young man at the counter was not as forthcoming! He thought it was more important to chit chat with his friends instead of greeting us! Then he was very short! But I noticed when the young women came he ran to help them on the boat and wipe the seats and etc! CJ made up for that he was amazing to my family and I!!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We are so glad Captain CJ was able to give you such a great experience! Thank you for the feedback on those greeting you. We hope to warmly welcome you on your next trip with us.
