Great - Enjoyed the boat ride would be back for boat ride and dolphintour. I recommend this dolphin tour for adults only due to high speed and bumps

Great experience!! - This dolphin cruise was excellent! The boat was the perfect size, comfortable and we were able to cruise around the water at varying speeds. We saw lots of dolphins and our captain was great! Very knowledgeable about the area and friendly! I was really impressed that they did not cancel our tour as we were a small group because it was the perfect experience to end our Hilton Head trip! Would absolutely recommend this boat tour!

Highly Recommend - Captain Sarah was FABULOUS! She was very knowledgeable about the area as well as of the “where and what” caused the dolphins to be in the area of the tour. Difficult to determine how many dolphins we saw (as some may have been seen more than once) but we saw many! Great trip. Easy to obtain reservations either on line or actually at the little office on the dock.

Relaxing trip - We wish we had seen dolphins closer. We understand it’s more luck than anything, so it ended up being more a relaxing boat trip.

Was able to see the... - Was able to see the dolphins, other rides we’ve been on were friendlier with the kids and families. But overall not a bad experience.

Good, but could have been better - Overall, we had a pleasant experience. It was windy, so we only saw a handful of dolphins, but it was a beautiful day. We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves! Our tour guide was friendly, but only shared information about the location and animals if we asked. He was on his phone while driving the boat and he ended the tour about 20 minutes early.

Very unhappy experience - Very unfriendly experience with the boat driver. He almost never talks to us and we actually paid him tips at beginning of the trip.
