Captain Wyatt and First Mate Olivia were great! Very knowledgeable about the area and the tour. Found dolphins throughout the entire ride. While other boats were disrespectful in my opinion, getting within feet of the dolphins when they surfaced, captain wyatt keep his distance respecting their space, yet got as close as you could want to be for a great view. Would definitely recommend this company and dolphin tour!

Fun and relaxing time , friendly staff. Got to see many dolphins. Sunset would have been better if the clouds would have cooperated.

Michelle and Captain Michael were so amazing! Anytime we saw a dolphin Captain Michael would make sure to turn the boat that direction or get closer. Michelle was so knowledgeable about the area! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Two 14 years old boys even said this is so cool.

Captain Pete knew where to find the beat area for dolphins and Wendy is very knowledgeable about the area and dolphins. Would definitely take this cruise again and recommend to others.

Great boat ride with plenty of dolphin viewing, the crew told us lots of history and good info about the Hilton Head area.

Captain Steve and the first mate were great. They said we would be seeing dolphins, but we didn't realize that we would actually see a pod. The roost 10 of them and we saw many more plus they were very informative about the history of the island. All in all, a very enjoyable cruise.

If the weather is bad they won’t cancel it and you will lose your money. In this case weather was bad, raining really hard, no sun was out so the tour wouldn’t even be a “sunset” tour!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
I believe you’re referring to Wednesday 8/20 sunset dolphin tour which you did not show up for. The rain cleared up earlier in the day, the tour did run & we experienced a beautiful sunset. Writing a negative review for a tour you didn’t attend is baseless.

Great kayaking adventure! Our guide Sloan was fantastic! We got in a great workout and learned about the ecosystem.

We found this dolphin cruise by sorting for best rated cruise. This experience fully delivered. The owner was on our boat and made the entire experience fulfilling and delightful. His knowledgeable staff was engaging and professional. We saw many dolphins, and even took a little extra time as the sun went down. We will use this company again and again.

Jim_R, Jul 2025
Our family really enjoyed this tour! My young adult children were skeptical beforehand but agreed that it was definitely worth doing while in Hilton Head. We enjoyed the time on the water. First Mate Kim and Captain Wyatt were professional, personable, and worked to make sure we had a great experience and saw dolphins. We would recommend for all ages!
