Perfect sunset dolphin cruise! - This was a great tour!! We were originally scheduled to go on Friday night with Captain Baynard and got there and he told us it was too windy and we wouldn't enjoy our trip so he rebooked us for the next night with Captain Dirk. It was a gorgeous night with a beautiful sunset and lots of dolphin sightings. The boat was the perfect size to be able to see on both sides and Dirk even took pictures of us at sunset. Such a great night on the water seeing the beautiful island. A definite 5 star rating for this activity!

Beautiful sunset dolphin cruise! - We had an excellent sunset cruise with the most kind and knowledgable guides. We were able to see dolphins a couple of times even though it was more the "off season". Great boat and beautiful cruise.

Gorgeous sunset and great dolphin viewing on Broad Creek! - What a great experience with Captain Bayard Huggins; we so enjoyed the Sunset Dolphin cruise! The captain had and shared a wealth of information about dolphins and other inhabitants of Broad Creek and we got some spectacular photos as well! Thanks much Captain Huggins and Outside Hilton Head for the great experience!

Great cruise! - We had a great cruise with very personable staff (Capt. Dan and First Mate Antonio). We were fortunate enough to spot several dolphins, and the crew was able to adjust our cruise timing on the fly to accommodate the viewing/watching. And we were still able to catch a gorgeous sunset. The crew was friendly, informative, and a joy to be onboard with. We definitely recommend this cruise.

An Informative Cruise - Whilst the cloudy (and cold) weather made the sunset a disappointment, everything else about the trip was great! Our Captain was full of knowledge about the location and local wildlife…and at least one dolphin came to check us out.

Beautiful Night - We had a beautiful night on the water with Captain Shay. As soon as we exited the marina we saw three dolphins and then went out to the point to watch sunset before coming back in and seeing more dolphins. Captain Shay was also incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!

Valentines Day Cruise - Captain Dave was great. Friendly and informative . We were lucky to only have 1 other person on board. Dolphins were plentiful and the weather was nice. A special way to spend Valentine’s Day!
