Went early in the morning when water was calm and less wind. Saw some dolphins slashing. Kayaked along marsh and near piers looking for shrimp and crabs. Was good experience for group age 8 and who went. Bring water and sunscreen . Definitely would be hot if not slightly cloudy or later in the day.
Thanks so much for joining us! And I agree, early morning is a great to kayak especially in the summer months. All of your comments are valid so we appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Water and sunscreen always are a good idea regardless of time of day. The water does tend to be at its calmest early in the morning. For those reading this please note that dolphins are very likely any time of the day as most days we see dolphins on all four tours that we do including morning, afternoon or evening! Thanks again for joining us and we hope to see you on your next visit to Hilton Head! Dave
So good, good for school aged kids. Its hot here tho for those not local. Go early, sun protection, be ready to be hot. So many dolphins tho! Todd was an excellent guide.
Thanks so much for joining us! And Thanks Todd for always doing such a great job with our guests! I do agree, early morning is a great time to be on the water especially in the summer months. And of course we always love to hear "Dolphins everywhere!". We are very lucky to be in such a great dolphins area where so many of our guests get to make the comment "Dolphins everywhere!" Hope to see you again on your next visit! Dave
Was a wonderful experience!! Seen dolphins up close and learned a lot of information about the wildlife in the area
Thank you for taking the time to let others know about our tour! Dolphins up close is always our goal and we are fortunate to be located in their favorite feeding area in Hilton Head so seeing dolphins very close to your kayak is a very regular and unforgettable experience! We hope to see you on your next visit to Hilton Head! Thanks again, Dave
Good tour. As expected. Good for kids

We had a wonderful time and found the experience, very relaxed and enjoyable. Zach was a fabulous guide.
Thanks so much for joining us and thanks as well for taking the time to write the review! Zach always does a great job and we too think he's a fabulous guide! Thanks Zach! We hope to see you again! Dave
We’ve kayaked several times while in Hilton Head so we didn’t really experience anything new. Mike, our guide, was super friendly & knowledgeable. He shared many interesting facts about dolphins & other sea animals. Unfortunately, the dolphins were not out at play during our tour. But we did enjoy the exercise & just being out on the water.
Thanks for joining us Kristi! Sorry it wasn't the best dolphin day as being in the wild on occasion that can happen. We are glad you still enjoyed your time with us as Mike has been doing this for years and I know enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge about dolphins and anything else are guests are interesting in learning about. Thanks for taking the time to write the review. We hope to see you again on another visit!
This was the most beautiful experience in the water. We saw dolphins, egrets, pelicans, and more…. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us some fun facts about the area and wildlife. This is a must when traveling to Hilton Head. We will do this again.
Of course we love reviews that start with the word "Amazing"! For 25 years we have been doing our very best on every tour to provide amazing experiences! We hire friendly fun and polite guides, are sure they are trained well and knowledgable and from there let the dolphins make it "amazing"! Fortunately we are located right in the middle of one of their favorite feeding grounds so it's very likely most of our guests will get this same great experience! Thanks again! Dave
Started off checking in, going over how to Kayak for newbies. Gave out vests, grab a paddle and walked down a ramp. I explained my knees aren’t great- guide was very patient and helpful with me getting in and out. Great Adventure- even if it was raining!
Thanks Holly for taking the time to write a review! We are glad that you loved your tour with us and certainly we hope to see you again!
Great experience!! MR. Joe Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and had lots of facts about dolphins!! BEST part was the dolphin Gary that came right up to our kayak and we seen him smile and swim away gracefully!! We showed up, he didn’t disappoint!
Thanks Tabitha for joining us! Thanks Joe for doing yet another great job as the tour guide! And of course thanks to "Gary the dolphin" for paying a close up visit to the kayak with a smile. Of course the dolphins are completely in the wild and we have no control over what they do and when but this close up encounter experience happens very often! There are maybe 20 -25 dolphins of the 100's that live in the area that we have named over the years because we see these guys so often and they seem to enjoy us and much as we enjoy seeing them! Thanks for taking the time to write a review! Dave
Wonderful tour! Destiny was incredible and super knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. Wish the dolphins would have made an appearance though. But even better the manatee did!
