It is a very long walk from the parking lot to the boat. Be prepared if you have difficulty walking.

Is a wonderful experience to go and observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. As the boat was navigating through the canal we saw various dolphins with their babies swimming.

Went on dolphin tour with my family. Boat was nice and clean. Captain was nice but the lady assistant with him was phenonimal! We experienced dolphins up close. Wish they were more active on our tour but that cannot be helped. Overall a nice relaxing family ride.

We ended up with a private charter, just by chance, the experience was over our expectations. Our captain and crew were so friendly and knowledgeable they made my children’s experiences what they would call once in a lifetime and something they will brag about for the rest of their lives

The captain and the naturalist from the museum both told us about the river and the animals we would see. The captain go us as close to the dolphins as he could and we also saw several different types of water birds.

A great way to see part of the Hilton Head coast line and dolphins all at the same time. Our captain and first officer were actively engaged with us answering any questions we had all while providing amazing narration throughout the tour. Highly recommend this adventure.
