Lots of dolphin sightings!

Sunset dolphin Cruise was relaxing and fun. We saw lots of dolphins and the captain kept us entertained. Would recommend as a fun way to spend an evening.

Such a fun thing to do in Hilton Head. We really enjoyed the laid back trip and saw several pods of dolphins. Highly recommend.

Dolphins n Islands

We had a great time on the vagabond cruise and saw a lot of bottle nosed dolphins. Also a view of the various islands including: Dafuskie island, from the water was nice. It was very relaxing. The staff was friendly and we had a good experience.

Sunset Dolphin Cruise- scenic

Beautiful cruise. Tour guide was excellent. Didn’t see a ton of dolphins (can’t blame anyone for that) but the scenery was magnificent. I highly recommend this cruise

Relaxing tour

Seen the dolpins that navigate the sheltered inland waterways rather than the deep ocean. Seen 4 in total but very hard to see.
