Fantastic Dolphin Tour in Hilton Head - Fantastic personalized, private dolphin tour with Captain Dave! We saw dolphins and learned about the history of Hilton Head island and surrounding islands. Great for family or age group. Saw dolphins jumping out of the water but can’t get TA app to upload properly

Great way to spend an afternoon! - Had a great day with Captain Drake. It was a beautiful day for our family of 4. Captain Drake gave us options of where we wanted to go/what we wanted to see. He was VERY informative about the area, the ecology, etc. He was accommodating in every way, including taking pictures. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Great HH Experience - Two hours of expert history plus plenty of dolphins, bald eagles and countless sea birds. Great to have a dedicated captain who loves the area and discussing ecosystem and people stories as well

Awesome - Captain Dave was polite and courteous! Very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We felt very safe and entertained on the trip. Not only did we see many dolphins but we also saw three bald eagles! Amazing! Will definitely book another boat ride with him! Wonderful!
