Honeymood getaway - The dolphins cruise tour was well worth the money.we really enjoyed our tour guide Dean was first class with entertainment, history, and fun facts about dolphins as well the history of Hilton Head. We got to see plenty of dolphins throughout the tour and were able to take pictures. Thank you for our first day of our honeymoon!

Highly recommend - We had such a great time on the dolphin evening cruise! We saw several dolphins, including a baby swimming right alongside its mama, an alligator, and an absolutely beautiful sunset. Captain Dan was fantastic and made the whole experience fun, personable, and relaxing. The pace was perfect—not rushed at all, just a great evening out on the water. Definitely a 5-star experience and highly recommend it! 🐬🌅

Very disappointing - Everyone was nice. It was unfortunate that the weather was unseasonably cold…and cloudy because of a storm. So there was no sunset. I tried to reschedule but it couldn’t be done online. My granddaughter was very disappointed because there were no dolphins…which again nothing could be gone about that either. But I really thought there would have been some sort of compensation.
