1Cancelled . Can’t rate.
It was cancelled due to rainstorm. Looking forward to my refund. Would have liked to have gone, but we were leaving the area.
5SO MANY DOLPHINS
We saw SO MANY DOLPHINS! The captian and crew were very knowledgeable and told us about all the history of the island. We went on the 4pm cruise out of Harbour Town and I would highly recommend this tour. I worked with a lady named Shelby prior to booking and she was absolutely amazing. She was kind, patient and I could tell how much she loves this company. The boat was clean, had a snack bar and was big enough to roam around. The dolphins were coming right up to the boat and it felt like they were interacting with us. This was a truly magical experience.
5Perfect dolphin cruise
It was very nice, seen a lot of dolphins. The captain was very nice and knowledgeable. Easy to fine location

About Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island is a South Carolina barrier island of wide beaches, live-oak forests, golf courses and salt marsh, with a Gullah heritage.
Hilton Head Island lies off the coast of South Carolina's Lowcountry, a barrier island shaped like a shoe, with about twenty kilometres of Atlantic beach on one side and salt marshes on the other. It is named for Captain William Hilton, who sighted its headland in 1663. Resort communities such as Sea Pines are planned among live oaks and pines, and the red-and-white striped lighthouse at Harbour Town is the island's emblem.
