This was a wonderful way to see the dolphins & the beauty of HHI! We were lucky to get a spring-like, blue -sky day in early March. Our Captain was great & he knew lots of fun historical tidbits about the waterways, homes on the water, & HH. We highly recommend!

Thank you for your review! It sounds like you had a fantastic day out on the water, and we're thrilled you got to enjoy both the dolphins and the beautiful scenery of Hilton Head. A spring-like day in early March is definitely a bonus! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on another tour soon!

It was a wonderful outing with our grandkids. Captain Tim did a great job explaining the area and its wildlife and waters, and kept working to find dolphins close to the boat, which we eventually saw. Only drawback is seating is a little hard, and you face one side or the other (so depending where dolphins are, can't always be ready).

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you and your grandkids had a wonderful time with Captain Tim. It’s great to hear he made the tour informative and worked hard to find dolphins for you to enjoy. We appreciate your feedback on the seating and will keep that in mind for future improvements. Hope to have you on board again soon!
