Wonderful time !

Jack and Jack were our tour guide and we had an amazing experience if you are considering do it . It was nice to be able to have your own boat and get the experience off driving the boat and seeing dolphins. If we come back to Hilton head we will book another experience with this company !

A good time for those who like speed

A fun time even without the dolphins. You cannot predict nature! You cover a good amount of area but the experience of the group driving the boats somewhat dictate how far and fast you will go. Trip was a little short…meaning we left late and returned early. We did appreciate the less bulky floatation vests provided!

Great tour with fun mini boats and expert guides. Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed the mini boat tour. We saw lots of dolphins, a couple of flying Searays, and some beautiful scenery. The guides were very knowledgeable about the area and it's history.
