Great tour. Lots of dolphins - Super fun boat tour. The zodiacs were a blast to drive and the guides were knowledgeable about the area and took us to where the bait fish were and we got to see lots of dolphins. Our tour was in the morning bc our tour the day before was rescheduled due to thunderstorms. 8 am is the time to be on the water.

Awesome fun! - I had a blast on the mini boat dolphin trip! It was so much fun to drive my own boat in the open waters! The guides were great and offered some interesting facts and history. I saw some dolphins which added to the experience. I highly recommend this adventure! Well worth the money, and a great way to be on the water. I will definitely do this again on my next visit!

Excellent tour - Bob and Cayden were excellent tour guides. Very friendly and gave us a quick history of the island. We got to see the dolphins up fairly close to the boat. Operating the boat was a blast.

Great family fun! - Our mini boat tour was great! We were newbies to boating and Matt and Jack did a great job of explaining the boats and how to use them, as well as being kind and patient when we were learning. They were very knowledgeable about the area giving us lots of interesting information as we toured the island 10/10 recommend this tour!

Family mini boat adventure - Had a great time! Very exciting, fun filled two hours. We saw lots of dolphins and parts of Hilton head would have not had the chance to see if we didn’t do this adventure. My children really loved doing these mini boats. The guides were great and every time we stopped would give us some cool information about the area we were in.
