It was Over Before We Were Ready for it To Be Over - We only had a couple of days to spend on Hilton Head Island so we were very selective in what we chose to do. We were glad we chose this dolphin cruise with Low Country Watersports. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. The crew of Captain Spike, Wendy, and Kim helped us all to have an enjoyable time. We saw plenty of dolphins but not real close to the boat. We felt safe riding out, sitting around the edge of the boat by the rails, and we were able to move around once we got further out. The time flew by and it was time to turn around and return before we were ready to leave. We left on time and returned at the scheduled time. I would certainly recommend this outing if you are on Hilton Head Island.

Great boat ride - Very enjoyable and informative. We saw lots of dolphins including a baby and mama pair. The boat was comfortable enough and Wendy and the rest of the crew kept things lively. Would definitely recommend.

Great fun! - We were looking for something to do when the water was too cold with teenagers in tow, so we took their dolphin cruise. We saw plenty of dolphins! Wendy, Kim and Captain Spike did a fantastic job of entertaining us with stories and comedy. The covered boat was great in the sun and it was a nice relaxing cruise around the sound. I highly recommend it.

Fun for all ages - This tour is the perfect way to spend a few hours in Hilton Head and I would highly recommend it. Captain Spike, First Mate Wendy, and Second Mate Kim were both informative and entertaining. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins who came right up to the boat, even witnessed some having “happy time”. This is a perfect activity for all ages.

Highlight of our trip - Our family had an amazing dolphin tour. Captain John knew just where to find many groups of dolphins who were very playful and swam right up to the boat.
