Very knowledgeable...

Very knowledgeable Captain, lovely ride and great sunset! Boat was not overcrowded. The dolphins didn't get the memo to provide a show - but we did see a few and that was great! 😁

Great Dolphin Watching Excursion

Great cruise! Captain Dan and First Mate Shea were very friendly. The smaller boat size made for great dolphin siting. We would definietely go on another excursion with them!

Very disappointing

Everyone was nice. It was unfortunate that the weather was unseasonably cold
and cloudy because of a storm. So there was no sunset. I tried to reschedule but it couldn’t be done online. My granddaughter was very disappointed because there were no dolphins
which again nothing could be gone about that either. But I really thought there would have been some sort of compensation.

Honeymood getaway

The dolphins cruise tour was well worth the money.we really enjoyed our tour guide Dean was first class with entertainment, history, and fun facts about dolphins as well the history of Hilton Head. We got to see plenty of dolphins throughout the tour and were able to take pictures. Thank you for our first day of our honeymoon!
