Dolphins & Manta Ray - Great time! - Our Low Country Watersports Dolphin Tour on May 13, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM, exceeded our expectations! The boat was spotless, and Captain Steve and Wendy were fantastic. They were not only friendly and incredibly knowledgeable but also clearly passionate about what they do. We saw so many dolphins and even a magnificent manta ray! We absolutely loved our boat ride. Great for all ages.

Kim made the entire trip... - Kim made the entire trip fun with his "rough, sarcastic humor" and went out of his way to make people laugh. Capt Mary were great allowing extra time to make sure to see some dolphins.
Kim also helped to get wonderful photo ops

Dolphin Tour - Amelia was a great tour guide! Very kid-oriented and friendly and she was very knowledgeable! We originally booked the sunset dolphin cruise but it was canceled due to weather. They re-booked us with ease for the next morning for a regular dolphin cruise.
