Recommended Adventure! - We had Max, Joe and Joe lead us, they did a great job. It was cold that morning so I was glad we brought light jackets. It was a fun adventure, we saw several dolphins and learned about the habitat. I was scared to drive the mini boat fast but they were very kind about it and we eventually got the hang of it. We highly recommend it!

Great Experience - The three of us had a great time! The staff was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. The entire tour took the entire 2 hours and we saw many dolphins. The water tour of the area was very informative and gave context to the map we were using to drive around Hilton Head. The boats were well maintained and were fun to drive. Definitely a must for a nice water tour around Hilton Head

Our whole family loved it! - Definitely a 5 out of 5! We were fortunate enough to see many dolphins in the water including some mothers with their young and had a blast cruising through the water, sightseeing and learning about the history & facts about the island. Gavin and Greg, our guides, are very knowledgeable, patient and most interested in making sure everyone has a great experience. The boats are very easy to maneuver. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Just do it!

Fantastic Mini Boat Experience - This was a great experience and very fairly priced. They did a great job showing you the island, giving some awesome facts, and making sure you stayed safe. Our guides (Max and Ben?) were awesome and went above and beyond. Give them a shot for your water needs….boats were great.

Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and know where to find dolphins! - Low country water sports did outstanding job with our mini boat tour. The guides were extremely helpful and friendly. We went to several locations and saw dolphins at each.
I highly recommend their service.

Amazingness. - We went with Jack and Joe and they were awesome. Jack was helpful for those of us who were semi-inexperienced driving on the ocean. Joe is a pretty joyful guy and was telling us cool facts :). We loved it and both Jack and Joe made the experience worthwhile.

Great day seeing dolphins - Wendy and Captain Kate did an awesome job finding plenty of dolphins to see. It was the best day of the week and the dolphins came out to play! First mate Wendy was very informative about the surroundings and creatures of the sea. Highly recommend their tour.
