Mini Boat Experience - My husband and I had an amazing time on the mini boat. We recommend getting on the mini boat if you are looking for something that you won't get as wet but is still fast as the jet ski

Great Family Adventure - We had an awesome time with our grandsons on this mini boat tour. The creek and inlets were so much fun to boat through. We saw a few dolphin, but the best part was the boat ride. It felt so nice to Bo one the water together. Jackson and Craig are great navigators and very knowledgeable about the creek and adjacent shoreline. Their safety and boating operation instructions were very thorough.Lowcountry Watersports never dissappoints.

Thank you Lowcountry Water Sports! - If you are looking for amazing water-sport adventures in Hilton Head, then Lowcountry Water Sport should be your “go to“ for every type of watercraft experience! From jet skis, to Zodiak mini boats, Creek Cats, kayaks, paddle boards and more, they are the best on the island! But, what makes Lowcountry head and shoulders above the rest is the management, staff, guides, and service! Every employee is committed to making sure you have great fun, great value, and a safe experience. I want to especially thank Monika and her staff: Kaitlyn, Taylen, Amy, and Sam with their prompt and personal assistance with every reservation. (Yes, you actually talk to real folks who help customize your experience-not just book online.) A huge shout out to Dylan and Olivia, who are excellent guides and are very knowledgeable about the ecology and history of the area! One last impression: Monika will directly match any Groupon offer that you find online for Lowcountry Water Sports-Awesome bonus! Thank you!

Miscommunication - Trip was good. Trip Advisor and the merchant had a miscommunication on our reservation and time to go out on excursion The merchant didn’t have us in their system and the time was wrong. They were able to locate our reservation but we had to wait almost 2 hours for the next excursion.

See above - Tour itself was fine. However you stated a photo of your tour will be provided. Tour guide took photo of each boat.
And that's where it ended. Guide said photo be sent to you in 24 hrs. Did not happen, phoned tour office, they sent email stating tours photos avail 24 to 48 hour on website. Checked website at 48 hr time, no photo, phoned office again, said they would check. 72 Hours later still no photos. There are photos on their site but last one they updated was June 21, they do not appear to have uploaded any tours in July or Aug. If I had known this beforehand I could have asked the other boat on out your to photograph our boat and I could have done theirs. May not be a big deal but if you advertise you are going to provide a service
, Do SO.

Greed at its best! - I had to cancel my tour for a party of four due to a family member having a medical emergency. I did this in advance and was still charged $160 when I confronted them They mentioned that I canceled too late for their policy. This is terrible business. They had no empathy and was treated less than a human being. They took the money and ran and told me I had to call a company that’s overseas to get assistance. No offer of a credit for a future trip. They spoke down to me and made me feel very uncomfortable.
Run don’t walk from the establishment of greed.
