Great experience, saw many dolphin pods - We had an excellent time. The guide Wendy and Captain Wyatt were both very knowledgeable, and we were fortunate to see a bunch of dolphin pods during our excursion. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to experience what Hilton Head has to offer.

A sweet memory with family - Our tour guide, Wendy, was the sweetest, super fun & knowledgeable about the area. Captain W was a nice guy & did great too! Loved how they let the younger kids “drive” the boat. Beautiful scenic views! We are glad we took the dolphin cruise, just wish we saw more dolphins (only a few visible, but they can’t control that) & a cold water during that hour on the boat would’ve been nice (we read there was one provided). Overall, it was a pleasant memory!
