Dolphins found us

We had a great time! Even our littlest 2 1/2 year old loved it - “go fast! YeeHaw!” We saw dolphins and learned a bit about the waters, oysters and birds around Hilton Head Island. Captain Andy was knowledgeable and knew all the places the dolphins like to visit. I was very impressed.

Dolphin Tour with Capt Steve

Capt Steve was our guide and he was incredible. His love of nature was apparent. Capt Steve was safety conscious and briefed us on what to do in an emergency. It was just our family of 9 and it was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend the early boat ride.
