Great time on the water with Capn Chris. We were immediately greeted by a dolphin heading away from the dock. He took us towards Daufuskie Island, while pointing out various landmarks. We hit the dolphin bonanza closer to the island. An entire pod of dolphins (incl multiple juveniles with mamas) were seemingly feeding. We lost count @ a dozen. As we cruised back towards Harbortown we saw many more just cruising around. Extra bonus, we also saw a juvenile black tip shark. The boat itself was in good condition & had an area that was shaded from the hot sun. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Wonderful seeing dolphins, the beautiful scenery, and a baby dolphin... but the conversations with our Captain!! He was the best.

The Dolphin Tour was awesome. The owner of the company did the tour because Viator did not inform them of our tour. When we arrived the girl at the desk and apologized for the error and they would still make the trip happen. We were supposed to get snacks, soda and water but again the driver wasn’t informed of that. Apparently Viator is a 3rd party scheduler of this trip and takes a good portion of the profits of the trip. Contact LOW Country to schedule directly!

We enjoyed a perfect experience. From the moment we booked with Amy I felt very comfortable. Any questions I had she happily answered. Captain Harry was wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for better! He was awesome at pointing things out and sharing some great information, Captain Harry was very personable, and was very accommodating to our teenagers who wanted to take pictures. He made our experience very enjoyable! I highly recommend 😊

Within 3 minutes of the tour starting we spotted 4 dolphins! It didn’t stop there as we enjoyed cruising to other spots. So many dolphins and so much fun! Loved having the private tour and boat with just our family. Highly recommend!

Karen B

We had a fantastic time! The highlight of our trip so far. We saw lots of dolphins, learned a ton about the island and the marine life and loved our tour guide Sarah. She clearly loves her job and made us feel super welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend and would do this again for sure!

We booked a private dolphin tour with this company. We have also previously used them for a kids pirate cruise and mini boat sunset tour. All of our experiences have been excellent. For this tour we had Sarah as our guide. She was awesome and had a great personality and knowledge of the area. We took to small children and my older parents as well and everyone had a great time. The tour occured on a very nice pontoon boat. We saw plenty of dolphins and Sarah was great about getting us a good view. We even saw a dolphin jump full breach out of the water! Definitely worth the money. My only advice is hold on to your hats as that pontoon had a heck of a motor and mine blew off despite being pretty tight. Sarah actually turned around and made a few passes at trying to retrieve it, which I greatly appreciated.

Captain Sarah was outstanding. Very personable, great with young grand children. She was very knowledgeable and had the ability to share with kids to make it fun and interesting as well as provide knowledge for the adults. She really scored xtra points with our group when she noticed a group of jet skis too close to a large group of dolphins and immediately moved our boat close enough to advise the group that they were too close to the dolphins and to move away. Obviously she cares about the animals and it is more than just a job. Pontoon was fairly new and clean as could be. Overall a great experience and highly recommended. Can’t say enough good things about Captain Sarah. Private tour is well worth the money! Oh by the way, we saw LOTS of dolphins and kids had a great experience.

Absolutely the best way to experience the waters around Hilton Head! If you can, it's worth the fare to have the boat and captain to yourselves: you talk, ask questions, watch together for the various critters you'll see. It's more personal and meaningful. Captain Mark does a wonderful job of weaving together marine biology, ecological facts, local culture and geography, answers to our questions and dining recommendations, all while keeping you as close as possible to the local dolphins and other wildlife. He introduced to some of the local population who showed up: Volcano and Angelica, with their unique dorsal fins, as they played and fed right near us! Online booking might be a little confusing, with the way the various tours are presented, but a quick phone call to the friendly staff will clarify everything and complete your reservation and payment. Highly recommended!

Quiet morning away from crowds. Saw some dolphins and an eagle aerie. Nice small catamaran for just our family. Captain engaged the kids. Would have been 5 stars and a tip if we had been offered a snack and water.
