Fabulous tour ! - We had an amazing afternoon on this tour . It was a windy day so we switched from the Creek Cat vessel to a Zodiac style and I was so grateful we did ! There was some chop and a lot of wind which would have made the more open vessel cold and very wet …. The guides were knowledgeable and kept us all safe while still letting each little vessel to have fun ! The ride through the marshes was my favorite part. I would highly recommend this tour and will do it again when I return to Hilton Head

Too cold for November - We were the only ones on the “tour”. It was less tour and more fly around the water as fast as you can. I was expecting more saunter and less sprint. It was a mid 60s day in November and when we moved slowly it was quite enjoyable but the way it was we were soaked and ice cold. One for the summer. Probably need to moderate the experience for different times of the year.

Creek Cat Tour - My husband and I did the tour. We enjoyed the tour and were able to see dolphins too. I think the guides were Jaden and Jack and Jaden was very informative with the historical part of the tour. We would do this again when visiting Hilton Head. Be sure to bring a change of clothes as I did change pants and socks which got quite wet on the tour.

Do It!! - We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with Creek Cat tours! The tour guides Bucky and Jack were funny and made the instructions for operating the boat easy to understand. The views from the water were amazing and the historical information was interesting. You do get wet, so heed the tour info when they tell you that! Highly recommend!!

Really Fun Activity on the Water - Four of us went on the Creek Cat tour and we had a blast! Bucky and Alex were our guides, and Bucky did a great job of providing history and context for the areas we were seeing, and information about the natural environment. And we saw dolphins as well as many shore and water birds. They kept us feeling safe and well cared for the whole time. My one tip would be to make sure you wear water shoes and clothes you don't mind getting splashed. We would all highly recommend the Creek Cat tour.

Birthday Getaway - We had a very enjoyable time. The weather was beautiful, and the trip was great. We had great guides that were very knowledgeable about the area. The boating in the snaking tributaries of the marsh was exciting and beautiful. Defiantly will plan on another trip next time down.
