Lots of fun! - Took a Creek Cat skiff tour with Aidan. He was a terrific guide with lots of interesting information and took great care of everyone. The boats are fast and fun but feel very safe. The scenery is excellent and a whole new perspective on how the island looks from the water.

Fun way to get out on the water - I've never seen this type of boat. It was fun to be right on the water and drive ourselves. Kevin was an excellent guide. He grabbed a canon ball jelly fish for us to hold and spotted dolphins for us. Fun trip, I would do it again.

Great experience! Highly recommend! - We found this tour on Groupon under Lowcountry Watersports. It was so worth it! Using the Groupon was easy and without any hassle. We had so much fun! The creek cat tour was awesome. We had never been on one before, so it was quite an experience. Although we followed a guide, we had a little leeway in terms of how fast we went. We went fast at times and had a blast. We got soaked! We saw some dolphins and went by some expensive houses. Our guide explained some things. My only complaint is that he needs to speak up as he was hard to hear at times. Other than that, it was a great tour! And to top it off, they took a picture of us on the water in the creek cat and sent it to us! Great memory! Thanks so much! I highly recommend this tour!!

Awesome - Fun - great experience - We absolutely loved the creek cats. Our guide was very knowledgeable of not only the area but it's history and the equipment we were all using. His name was Jackson. We also loved the front desk staff as well! Well worth your time and money!

Fun water activity! - This was so much fun! Captain Jack was an excellent guide. We saw dolphins and lots of water birds. We learned a lot about the area and it’s history. We were a group of 2 teen granddaughters, a mom and a grandmother. The Creek Cat boats were easy to learn how to use and a fun ride! Highly recommend this as a morning or after water activity!

Great experience, loved it!!! - We loved Sarah!! The weather was windy so they upgraded us to a mini boat which ended up being a fabulous idea due to the weather conditions. We learned a lot about the local ecosystems, salt bars and saw several dolphins 🐬!! Sarah took a picture of us in front of the Harbour Town lighthouse, which was great! She was very friendly and informative. We highly recommend it and will revisit them on our next trip!!

Adventure on the Creek - Great water views of the bay and islands. Jack was a great tour guide but it was hard to hear him if you were a few boats back. Don’t get a full bladder on this trip quite bouncy on way back

Some god some bad - The time on the water was fun. The office staff were nice and helpful but the tour operator was rude and insulting of other guests. They need to remember for most of the guest this will be the first time they operated a boat or cat and a little patience goes a long way. Taking the time to explain what to do may be helpful. They put a mini boat on out tour with creek cats and the mini boat had issues. I felt bad for the mini boat but the tour guide did not help the situation with his attitude, demeaning comments, etc. I will say that the tour guide called for help and gave us a few more minutes to make up for the mini boat issues. There are other companies in HHI that seem to have better customer service and treat guest with a little more respect.
