We had a great experience with Captain Sarah, First Mate Wendy and Kylie! They were all very informative and fun. We saw dolphins, a gorgeous sky as the sun was setting, and a good fireworks show to end the night!

It feels too long. We saw a couple of dolphins and fireworks, so it was as advertised but it was not something I would recommend. The tour guide did not make the trip enjoyable. She seemed uneducated about dolphins as she was trying to give facts, also didn’t seem to know much about the island itself. It was a lot of money for a very mediocre experience.

It was a lot of fun… we had captain judi and first mate Wendy and they were amazing!! Our kids got to drive the boat even the baby!! They also helped us get a picture of our family which was sooo appreciated, there are 9 of us so it’s hard to get one of everyone!! I would recommend this experience highly everyone in our family loved it and it was our kids us and my husbands parents so all ages!!

This was the trifecta for a boat cruise! Sunset, dolphins, AND fireworks, captain and First Mate were fun and knowledgeable. Roughly 25-30 people. We went during a cloudy evening so we missed the sunset, but it would have been beautiful from where the boat cruises. We will definitely go again when we visit.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Crew was wonderful. Saw so many dolphins, even a mother and baby. Tuesday night fireworks was a great addition.

This was a great tour! Sunsets, Dolphins, & fireworks! The crew and captain were wonderful and great with the kids of all ages. They had interesting information about dolphins, Hilton Head and the surrounding areas. We would definitely do it again and highly encourage others to go as well.

I wouldn’t book this tour The dolphins watching was spectacular ; however, it was too long, and the fireworks display was a disappointment .

Alot of stand still to watch, so it gets hot. Bring hand fan. Took infant so it was extra hot. Far back enough from fireworks that its quiet and great for the kids.

We loved it! We saw countless dolphins, learned facts about the area and wildlife, and saw a great fireworks show! Wendy and Spike were great.

The fireworks were not set off on time, so our boat trip was extended which was great! May want to bring a jacket if traveling at night, ocean wind was amazing but cooler. Captain Mary took good care of us and played fun music!

A huge rainstorm came out of nowhere and Captain Mary forged through and found some dolphins as soon as the rain started to let up. She shared her knowledge with us and navigated us to some great photo opportunities and great view of the fireworks.

Sunset and great staff!
I wish we were up closer to the fireworks when they were going off.

A nice excursion if you want to float and look for dolphins. There was very little narrative beyond real estate values of coastal homes and mating habits of egrets and dolphins. Lots of hard rock music. Beautiful sunset and nice breeze. It was 2.5 hours. No bathroom or beverages as described by Host in response to other feedback

Our family, which ranged from four-years-old to eighty-nine-years-old all had a wonderful time! Captain Jack and Dawn made the evening very enjoyable!

I loved the tour . We saw a pod of dolphins and a beautiful sunset and fireworks. Their was a storm moving in behind us, but we managed to get everything done before the storm came.

This was our second trip with Captain Mark and Becky. We had a great time and saw a lot of dolphins on this night cruise. Becky had plenty if new information and facts about dolphins to share this trip. It was nice to see the Fireworks from the water. Definitely would recommend this trip.
