The whole trip was fantastic. Mark is personable and very knowledgeable about this area. He took us to all the right spots and we saw dolphins repeatedly throughout our trip. The guide, the dolphins, the scenery and sunset were perfect. Highly recommend that you take a trip with Captain Mark.

Captain Mark made sure that this was an amazing experience for all of us! He knew exactly where to take us to see beautiful dolphins and the most gorgeous blue crab we’ve ever seen. He is so knowledgeable and he answered all of our questions patiently. We will definitely be taking this tour again on our next trip!

Incredible time on the water with captain Mark. Just my wife and I went on this private tour in hopes of seeing a dolphin or two. We must have seen a few dozen including baby dolphins!!!! Sooooo cute, as the wife would say. Mark is super personable and knowledgeable. He made us feel at ease while explaining the behaviors of the dolphins. Don’t hesitate if he has times open. Book early because he is the best on HHI!

Captain Mark and his private boat trip was absolutely the best!! We were a group of sisters ranging from 57-77 and this turned out to be our favorite day. The boat ride will take you places larger boats can’t go and the private setting is so worth every moment. Highly recommend this tour for any group of 6 or less.

Capt Chuck and 1st Mate Wendy were fabulous!! Wendy introduced herself and provided safety moments. We boarded a comfy boat with very low expectations. BOY WERE WE WRONG!!!! This was a great 2 hours of hunting the dolphins. Along the way we learned a lot about the area. A short time later we saw 1 dolphin and I already considered the trip a WIN. Capt Chuck said, we can do better. Onward we went and after a few minutes we were elated to when we found a pod of them, including a calf!!!! If you’re leery about booking this trip BOOK IT!!! Thanks Wendy and Chuck!!!
