Dolphin greeting us was the best - Fantastic Dolphin Cruise with Captain James. He knew where the dolphins would hide....we saw many, even had one greet us as we returned. If you want a laid back excursion, some interesting facts shared, safe captain, then this is the place to book.

A great private dolphin tour - Being in the middle of pod of close to 10 dolphins was pretty exciting. Captain James was very cool to give us some knowledge on the tour of our surroundings and he has a nice pontoon. Would definitely recommend.

Lots of Dolphins - Great time on the water with Capn Chris. We were immediately greeted by a dolphin heading away from the dock. He took us towards Daufuskie Island, while pointing out various landmarks. We hit the dolphin bonanza closer to the island. An entire pod of dolphins (incl multiple juveniles with mamas) were seemingly feeding. We lost count @ a dozen. As we cruised back towards Harbortown we saw many more just cruising around. Extra bonus, we also saw a juvenile black tip shark.
The boat itself was in good condition & had an area that was shaded from the hot sun. Overall, a fantastic experience.

The Dolphin Tour was... - The Dolphin Tour was awesome. The owner of the company did the tour because Viator did not inform them of our tour. When we arrived the girl at the desk and apologized for the error and they would still make the trip happen. We were supposed to get snacks, soda and water but again the driver wasn’t informed of that. Apparently Viator is a 3rd party scheduler of this trip and takes a good portion of the profits of the trip. Contact LOW Country to schedule directly!

Spectacular afternoon! - We enjoyed a perfect experience. From the moment we booked with Amy I felt very comfortable. Any questions I had she happily answered. Captain Harry was wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for better! He was awesome at pointing things out and sharing some great information, Captain Harry was very personable, and was very accommodating to our teenagers who wanted to take pictures. He made our experience very enjoyable! I highly recommend 😊

Fun for all - Within 3 minutes of the tour starting we spotted 4 dolphins! It didn’t stop there as we enjoyed cruising to other spots. So many dolphins and so much fun! Loved having the private tour and boat with just our family. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience at a great price! - We had a fantastic time! The highlight of our trip so far. We saw lots of dolphins, learned a ton about the island and the marine life and loved our tour guide Sarah. She clearly loves her job and made us feel super welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend and would do this again for sure!

Excellent private dolphin tour. - We booked a private dolphin tour with this company. We have also previously used them for a kids pirate cruise and mini boat sunset tour. All of our experiences have been excellent. For this tour we had Sarah as our guide. She was awesome and had a great personality and knowledge of the area. We took to small children and my older parents as well and everyone had a great time. The tour occured on a very nice pontoon boat. We saw plenty of dolphins and Sarah was great about getting us a good view. We even saw a dolphin jump full breach out of the water! Definitely worth the money. My only advice is hold on to your hats as that pontoon had a heck of a motor and mine blew off despite being pretty tight. Sarah actually turned around and made a few passes at trying to retrieve it, which I greatly appreciated.
