Don’t miss a tour with Captain Dean on Hilton Head Island! - Captain Dean was an amazing guide. My six-year-old son loved the tour! We were up close to a pod of dolphins. We also gained incredible knowledge of the island as well as historical facts from the captain. We were able to explore Broad Creek. Highly recommend!!

Hilton Head nature cruise - A great trip. We saw lots of dolphins and a variety of birds and raptors. Also oyster beds. Captain Dean was the best. Knows the area very well, and he provided lots of information. Because it was the last tour of the day we were treated to extra time as well. Finally, I have some mobility issues and Dean and of the staff were helpful and kind.

Not what i expected - We were expecting to see more wild life and more of the natural beauty. It was more riding around in a boat chasing dolphins. Rather than watching them.

Bad experience - Our issue was not with the tour bit booking through Viator. I tapped the bar for the 3:30 tour and unbeknownst to me it booked for 8am. Inspite of my calls to the tour group itself and Viator I was told I would have to pay again for the 3:30 tour, which we didn't want to do. Very poor customer service on both sides.
