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.

Perfect sunset cruise - What a wonderful crew! These guys took excellent care of our special needs friend, stopped so we could see dolphins, got a jellyfish for us to see close up, knowledgeable about islands and points of interest. Our captain topped that all of with a perfect spot to view the sunset!!!! Highly recommend

Great experience - Jake made the experience fantastic!, He wheeled my mom in her wheelchair all the way down the pier and made sure she got on the boat safely.

Sunset dolphin tour - We had a wonderful experience. Captain took us to the spot where he knew a pod of dolphins were hanging around. On our way back saw a beautiful sunset too

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.

Great boat ride - It was a great experience but I thought the mate could use some type of mic system, it was hard to hear

Beautiful sunset and dolphins - Of course there was nothing comparable to the sunset and dolphins. Very disappointed that there was very little information shared about the environment. Assistant was more interested in talking about the worth of the homes in the area. Maybe that was interesting to others but not to my friend or me. Also, I felt the "Captain" could have been more appropriately dressed.

It was just fine for me. ... - It was just fine for me. Yes we saw LOTS of dolphins but since the title was SUNSET cruise I was hoping for more of the sunset....
