Everything was great about this tour. The boat was covered so you were out of the sun and there were tables to enjoy your donuts on. You got a beautiful ride on the waters almost to Daufuskie Island where there were numerous dolphins to view - one coming quite close to the boat. Michelle was an enthusiastic tour guide and there were several fun things for kids to make ride back to shore entertaining.
Fabulous cruise to see the dolphins, and also just to get out on the water and enjoy all the beautiful scenery and the breezes! We were given our drinks and lots of donuts at check-in. (A box of six donuts for each group; our group was only two people). My only complaint is they only gave the two of us one napkin with our box of donuts. When we asked for more they told us they had run out. Once on the boat, the guide (Michelle) was very fun and interesting and informative about not only the dolphins, but all the surrounding sights that we were seeing, such as the lighthouse, or the nearby islands, or the various homes and estates. We saw many dolphins!! We were on the water for the full 90 minutes. The boat was very comfortable and not crowded, it was very easy to see in all directions, and the Captain did a great job driving. (And, we went back to our condo with most of a box of donuts)! A very enjoyable outing!! Definitely worth the money!
We took our granddaughter out for Dolphins & Donuts. She had the best time looking for and spotting dolphins jumping out of the water. Michele & Chris were fabulous host/captain/tour guide. Highly recommend for a low key fun outing while at the beach.
It was a wonderful morning experience. Captain Craig and Michele were awesome. Captain Craig made sure the ride was as smooth as possible. My girlfriend usually gets sick on the water. She didn't get sick. Michele was fabulous at pointing out the dolphins and also providing a history of the area.
The experience was great for my son and I. The donuts were tasty and the boat ride was fun. Friendly staff, great customer service and beautiful views. We had a blast!!
Captain Mike and first mate Michelle did an excellent job on our tour today. We saw several stingrays jumping out of the water and the dolphins were all around the boat. Will recommend this tour to friends and family.
Absolutely wonderful! We left with all three of our kids asking when we can do it again! We also already informed family who will be coming next month that this is a must!
From the time we checked in, to shopping, donuts & departure we had the best experience!! Our captain was amazing! He was funny, informational & made the trip go so fast!
Great morning for a boa ride. We saw several Dolphins along with babies! Great time. Mike did a good job of trying to make sure everyone was able to view the Dolphins and gave tips on where to go when back on shore for sunset views.
Fun and educational, even our toddler enjoyed it. Captain Mike and Michelle knew what they were doing, and it was the perfect length of time.
