Not only will you get to know the dolphins as individuals, but you will also learn about bottlenose dolphins as a species and how they adapt to our local lowcountry ecosystem.

Sunset and dolphins - Our crew was great and very accomodating to our later-than-planned arrival (plan to get there at least 15 minutes early!). Even though the water was a little rough they safely took us to a great spot to see dolphins and pointed out the sights along the way. We arrived back just before the Shelter Cove fireworks started and we were able to stop & see them from the wooden pier on the way back to the car. Overall a good experience.

A Great Experience - The cruise provided such interesting information on the history of HHI. We have been coming here 40+ years and have never seen the island from the water. The first mate and captain were very informative and delightful to interact with. They both made great efforts to provide a great experience for all of us.

Missed the cruise poor directions - We missed our cruise due to Viator directions taking us to the wrong pier and parking area. The written explanation of how to find the charter was incorrect and as we ran down the wooden dock( not board walk) the boat was pulling away Very frustrating
