You will enjoy this... - You will enjoy this experience even if you didn't get to see a pod of dolphins. The weather was perfect and warm to be out on the water. We did see one dolphin swimming near our boat and it was exciting. Our captain was awesome and he made sure that we at least got the chance to see a dolphin during our trip.

Great experience!! - This dolphin cruise was excellent! The boat was the perfect size, comfortable and we were able to cruise around the water at varying speeds. We saw lots of dolphins and our captain was great! Very knowledgeable about the area and friendly! I was really impressed that they did not cancel our tour as we were a small group because it was the perfect experience to end our Hilton Head trip! Would absolutely recommend this boat tour!

Relaxing trip - We wish we had seen dolphins closer. We understand it’s more luck than anything, so it ended up being more a relaxing boat trip.

The worst dolphin boat experience ever - Worst boat ride ever! The captain was late. Did not introduced himself when he arrived. He did not cover any safety precautions. He did not say one word the entire 90 minutes boat ride unless you asked him a direct question. When asked a question, his response was very short. Horrible customer experience. We do not recommend this dolphin boat ride.

Shorter than advertised - Views of the surrounding area were nice. Only traveled 60 of 90 minutes - never made it into the sound.

Very unhappy experience - Very unfriendly experience with the boat driver. He almost never talks to us and we actually paid him tips at beginning of the trip.
