The trip was about 90 min but it went buy so fast! We did get to see a dolphin, a lot of various birds, fish jumping, and oyster shells on banks! The grass growing through the water is so beautiful, it is a somewhat surreal experience, or maybe that's just me!

Once in a lifetime experience! Cindy was wonderful, so helpful and knowledgeable.I was very timed ,but she helped me in and out of the kayak and reassured me . So much information about the island, resources and sealife. Reasonable price and would do it again. Even great for beginners. Just DO it!

Our guide was very friendly and pleasant! Glad we saw a dolphin otherwise I would have been disappointed. The Kyaking was a little rough and not a lot to see, so glad we saw a dolphin even though the guide said it was unlikely. Didn’t get much in the form of info about what we were seeing.

The area was beautiful to see and the guide was friendly and provided good instructions on how to use the kayaks. There were 10 people on this tour and most of us could not hear the guide once we were on the water. Perhaps a waterproof microphone or megaphone type device would help. We did not really see any wildlife which is not anyone’s fault, of course, but was a little disappointing. Ten people was a lot, especially when trying to get the kayaks back from the water. Our guide understandably got a bit impatient with those of us who were having a little trouble coming in with the kayaks. She was finally able to get some help. It was too much for one guide to get all of us in.

We had a GREAT time on this kayaking adventure! Cindy, our tour guide, was informative, funny, and very personable. The tour allowed us to explore the beautiful waters of Hilton Head and see dolphins, sharks, as well as beautiful homes! We also had a blast with Van Gogh (the guides dog). I would highly recommend this tour!

No dolphins but our guide Alister was great! He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about local wildlife, geography and history. He was able to adjust our route for rising tides and increased winds.

I need to reschedule because they called and said the weather was not safe. I’ve tried to get in touch several times but can not get through to anyone.

My boyfriend and I did the guided kayak eco tour and we would absolutely do it again! Our tour guide was very informative and also just a friendly face to talk to; he gave us a lot of good restaurant recommendations to try during our time on Hilton Head Island. The weather was beautiful and the kayaking was so much fun! We got to see some dolphins and learn a lot of fun facts about the marine life in Hilton Head. Overall, a 10/10 experience!

Our family had a fantastic adventure. Such a beautiful area. And we learned a lot about the island and the creek. The highlight of the tour was just how relaxing the whole float was for everyone. And yes, there were dolphins.

We had a party of 6 and really enjoyed seeing the dolphins and our guide was really good (Jack?). We would go again
