About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Nicoyaforever0 contributionsNice Staff and BoatWe saw a few dolphins (mostly) from far away, but that is not the fault of the operator. Tour Guide and Captain of boat were both very friendly and informative. I would give this tour 5 dots if we had seen more dolphins than we saw.Written 31 January 2025
- jcollins150 contributionsExcellent dolphin tourMy husband and I took this tour with another couple and were quite impressed! There certainly were plenty of dolphins to see and we enjoyed the information about the ecosystem in our area as well. Kate was a great tour guide, helpful and funny and kind. I highly recommend the tour.Written 2 January 2025

- Goldfish4150 contributionsGreat time, even when it's freezing!Wendy and Spike were fantastic. Despite it being a very cold day, we still had a great experience. We saw many dolphins. Wendy was very knowledgeable and entertaining. They had blankets in case you were cold and there was a bathroom on board. Would highly recommend and plan to return on a future trip to Hilton Head.Written 7 December 2024
- josho8240 contributionsGreat fun seeing Dolphins!We had a tour to see the Dolphins. Couldn’t find the exact one in the drop down. However our trip was just a Dolphin tour. Jackie and Kate did a great job on our tour. We got to see so many Dolphins and they were very knowledgeable of the area. Great job! Would definitely go again.Written 24 November 2024
- Navigator6625210 contributionsNice Plan BWe had initially signed up for a kayak tour, but the high winds made it impossible. The tour operator offered us an alternative to go on a dolphin watching tour instead. While it was not our desired choice, we enjoyed nonetheless. A nice Plan B.Written 18 November 2024

- S7286XNmichaelw0 contributionsThis is both fun and extremely informative!This was a TON of fun. The weather was juuuuust warm enough to enjoy the trip in late October.

HIGHLY recommend!Written 29 October 2024

We were able to go out on the zodiac boat rather than the Cat Creek boat because we were the only people scheduled and our guide suggested “the red boat “. He made an excellent choice as we had an amazing experience! Ryan gave us the safety information and then headed us out to explore. We got so close to dolphins you could pet them. We had an awesome history lesson of the founding of the island and much of the history about it- including the filming of Forrest Gump and celebrities living around the island.
Ryan was a great host! He was patient, knowledgeable and understood our comfort level in driving. I would highly recommend this company and Ryan as your guide! It’s well worth it!

Hi - we are a family of 5, two adults and three teenagers. Is this on a catamaran or a speedboat? Also would we be able to bring our own alcoholic beverages for the adults?
