Highly Recommend This Tour!

This one will be under the category of ‘memories of a lifetime’ for us, our kids and our grandsons! Captain Dean was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He gave us a beautiful tour with interesting information about the dolphins and everything else around us. He answered all our questions and offered our grandsons to drive the boat. They were beyond thrilled! This tour was one of the highlights of our family trip to Hilton Head. Thank you for helping to create beautiful memories for our family.

Great adventure

Great time Dean Hager was amazing…friendly and smiling when he greeted us, even remembered my name Marilee. He is so informative, went out of his way to answer all questions even politely responding when I thought I saw a seal. There was 5 in our group and we all give him a solid 10 . Thanks so much for awesome day.

Wonderful experience

Captain Dan was friendly and shared so many interesting facts about the dolphins and the area. We saw two dolphin pods and he was respectful of the dolphins. He explained everything on the trip. He took us to where he had seen manta rays earlier and we saw those also. Coming back to dock we saw an alligator. We enjoyed it so much we booked a sunset cruise for the next evening.
