Top Notch Experience! - We booked the afternoon "Creek Cat" tour and had n absolute blast! C.J. was an awesome tour guide, gave clear instructions and had good local knowledge. The boats were all clean, well maintained and ran well. Often times rental equipment is not kept up and especially in a marine environment, show significant wear and tear. This was not the case. We will recommend and return!

Exciting and Fun! - I highly recommend this tour. It was so much fun! The boats go faster than I expected and you get really wet ( part of the fun). It was a wonderful adventure! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fun boat tour - After a short demonstration on how to drive the Creek Cat boat, we all boarded our boats. At times, the water was pretty choppy. They warn you that you will get wet, you do! We had a lot of fun on this tour and would do it again. My only complaint, if I had one, is that we didn't see many dolphin.

This tour is a blast.... - This tour is a blast. These little boats really move! We did the sunset tour. The views were incredible. As a bonus, we saw dolphins. Expect to get wet. Some in our group were complaining about that. The guide covers some facts about the area along the way, but it can be hard to hear with the boat engines. I’ve already told multiple people I know who are heading to Hilton Head that they must do this tour.

Great experience - So much fun! The best time I’ve had on the Island so far. I felt safe the whole time and I got to see some dolphins. I can’t wait to do this activity again!

Very fast, but not much info about HHI - We did a sunset cruise with with 9 people (one extended family). We have been to Hilton Head MANY times and this is the first tour I've done on water and can say we NEVER saw dolphins. Of course this might be because the guides took us on a high speed tour with little explanation of what we were seeing. They stopped only 4 times (in a 2 hour tour) and gave a very short pre-prepared speech of where we had been. When we got to Dufuskie Island, the guide was in the last boat (6 boats down) and we could hear NOTHING!. We tried to tell the guide in the middle that we could not hear and he did not respond. The general feeling we had was that they just wanted to get through the tour and finish their day. The boats were fun and FAST. If that is what you want this is great. If you want to learn more about HHI and see wildlife, this is probably not the tour for you, based on our experience. We did once catch a glimpse of a dolphin fin, but the tour leader was already way past the glimpse that we got and we could not stop without getting lost from the group.

Less talk more driving. - This is a first class outfit with modern equipment and a friendly staff. It was billed as a two hour adventure. It felt like we spent half the time on the water listening to our guide give us a history of the island and not driving around. We never saw one dolphin or any other wildlife. I could understand that if we had spent more time driving our craft around looking for them instead of hearing two lectures.
