We had an awesome experience on our private dolphin cruise! We had 11 adults for a wedding party trip and all fit comfortably. We brought our own snacks and drinks and saw dolphins almost immediately! Tim was a great captain and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this activity to anyone planning a trip to Hilton Head!

Incredible tour around the island

Teri_b, Jul 2024
This was a very memorable tour! We enjoyed our time with Captain Chris as a party of 12. We even had a 1 year old on board and he was very accommodating! Would highly recommend!!

Wonderful time!

Danielle_M, Jul 2024
Our family did the sunset cruise. There were 9 of us. We loved that we were able to book a private cruise for everyone to attend. Most private boats only seat 6 unless you rent a boat on your own. We turned on our own music, brought our own snacks and drinks, enjoys watching dolphins play before the sunset. Highly recommend.

Beautiful evening

Our captain John was delightful and we had a wonderful time with our family. The boat was comfortable and felt very safe. Highly recommend

Relaxing Sunset Cruise

Carol_H, Aug 2021
Everyone in our party enjoyed this experience (adults, teens, & kids). Our captain, Taron, from Jamaica, was awesome.

Great experience

Eric_S, Jul 2021
Had a fantastic trip with our family. Captain Devin did a great job showing us around and explaining the sights. Saw tons of dolphin, many of the local landmarks, and a beautiful sunset. Everyone loved it. Highly recommend.

Perfect way to end our trip!

Amy_P, Jul 2021
We had a GREAT time on our private sunset cruise with Steve (sorry if that’s the wrong name—I’m horrible with names). He was so knowledgeable about the area and was incredibly friendly. We saw several dolphins (even though they just wanted to play hide and seek with us), and it was a perfect evening. We would definitely do this again! Our kids (8, 10, 14, 16, 18) absolutely loved it!

A very nice quiet evening.

Ken_M, Jun 2021
Terence (not 100% sure of name) was awesome. A little rainy, but navigated the clouds and received a good history lesson for the area at the same time.

Must do boat ride.

Tricia_F, May 2021
Captain Devin was friendly and informative about the sights around us without being intrusive. She contacted me before the boat ride to confirm and answered all my questions. The boat was perfect and we had a wonderful time! Highly recommend.

Great experience!
