It was absolutely the best experience. The vibe was amazing and Kim was very funny and made us feel very welcome. We were able to see a ton of dolphins and this was our first time experiencing this. We will absolutely be coming back again soon. The captain also done a great job as well.

The staff is very professional. The boat was clean and it was a lovely view from the boat. We did see four or five dolphins.

Fantastic cruise in the Calabogie Sound! A pod of a dozen or more dolphins surfaced, rolled, showed their pink tummies! Great guide Wendy and Captain Kate! A memorable morning and a must-do in Hilton Head!

We wanted to do something that was family friendly, entertaining and educational. We got all three times three with this Dolphin Cruise Adventure, the ladies hosting us were concerned for our safety yet very friendly. And what we learned about Hilton Head Island and the dolphins that swim in the surrounding waters was outstanding. We talked about what we learned for days. The cost of the cruise was very affordable. When we return to the island we will return to this company for any future sea adventures.

Capt. Kate and First Mate RayRay provided a warm and fun-filled experience. They went the extra mile to find dolphins.

We went on a dolphin tour with our two year old and six month old, Garett and Wendy were super accommodating and included the kids in such a kind way.
Even when my son was nervous about the boat, they found fun ways to distract him. I would absolutely recommend!
