Plenty to see - Many dolphins to be seen! Disappointed that it was cloudy at sunset but you can't control that. Great atmosphere

Beautiful Experience - This was a beautiful experience and lovely way to see the island from the water. The staff was very helpful and friendly! We saw many dolphins and capture some beautiful sunset shots. This was a celebratory experience for myself and husband on our 25th Anniversary! It only made us fall in love more with each other and Hilton Head Island's natural beauty!

Dolphins great, parking not - Upside: our host, Justin, was knowledgeable, funny, engaging . Learned a lot about the area and dolphins. Saw tons of dolphins ! 5 stars for that Downside : I only knew of the $9 entrance fee thru reviews - not mentioned on the Viator tour info that I saw. AND it’s cash only . That needs to be stated. Lack of availabile parking was extremely frustrating. Ended up parking very far away after driving around and around and then rushing to get to the boat

Not impressed - The Captain (Justin) was uninspiring. Was not impressed with the cruise. Will not take another. I would also include to wear a jacket or bring a blanket, as it can get cool.
