A thrilling adventure in Hilton head

The whole experience is a blast. The boats are amazing, the guide was really good, actually there were two of them and they were both really good. At times it was terrifying and at times it was exhilarating, but we had a lot of fun. There were times that the water was really choppy and we got a little air time so if you’re 70 years old with a heart condition, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you’re in for a thrill and some beautiful scenery and some really cool excitement than this is your deal.

Awesome experience!

We had a great time! The tour was so much fun, and our guides were awsome—friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. At one point we got stuck in the grass and they were very quick to help get us unstuck without any trouble. They made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a thrill!

Fun, organized, safe & easy to do. We had a blast. 5 of us, 3 drivers and 1 person was solo. The only thing I can think of to improve the experience would be for the guides to take a bunch pictures and post them for guests to download.

Highly recommend the Creek Cat Tour

This was the best experience ever for me and my boyfriend. I felt safe and had an absolute blast! We had 3 guides who were friendly and knowledgable and we enjoyed every minute of it. Seeing Hilton Head from the perspective of the ocean in the creek cat was amazing!

Great couple of hours on the local waters

Tour guide was great (friendly and very knowledgeable). Boats were nice, easy to drive and plenty fast enough. Saw many dolphins and covered a good part of the local Hilton Head area.

Must do family activity in Hilton Head

Our tour guides, Brian and Gavin were fantastic! They thoroughly explained how to drive the Creek Cat boats and the tour itinerary. Our family enjoyed taking in the beautiful sights around Hilton Head Island and seeing Dolphins and other wildlife up close. Highly recommend this tour!

Rock the Waves with Cat Boat Tours

My sister and I absolutely loved this tour! I was the driver, and although I’ve driven a boat before, this was a totally new kind of fun. The Creek Cats are fast, easy to handle, and such a blast to zip around in. The crew was fantastic—super friendly, safety‑focused, and full of great stories and history about the area. They made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. We covered a lot of ground (and water!), passing Harbour Town Lighthouse, Daufuskie Island, and even the famous Harbour Town Golf Links. The views were beautiful, and the whole experience felt like the perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing. We honestly wanted to go again right after, but we’ll save that for next time. Highly recommend this tour if you want something exciting, memorable, and a little different from the usual boat ride.
