I had a great time on this cruise. Kim was an excellent guide, providing lots of humor and personal attention to everyone. The boat was tidy, and the captain was both professional and funny. I will definitely add this to my list for my next visit to Hilton Head.
Captain Steve and First Mate Rae Rae provided an outstanding experience. We encountered several dolphins, including a baby dolphin. We will definitely return with our friends when we're back in Hilton Head Island.
I really enjoyed the Dolphins and Donuts tour! Being out on the water was a great experience, and it was a treat to spot so many dolphins. The staff were both knowledgeable and made safety a priority.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dolphins and donuts excursion with Captain Dawn. She was friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about the dolphins and the local area. We were fortunate to see a pod of dolphins that approached the boat for an incredible view, allowing us to watch them swim and play for quite a while. Our young kids, who are 7 years old, loved it and were excited throughout the experience. The donuts were a nice added treat. The only downside is that this adventure was so remarkable it might overshadow any future dolphin cruises we take. We'll likely need to return to Hilton Head for more tours.
Fantastic experience with Michele and Captain Steve! Michele kept everyone entertained with her stories and fun snacks for the kids. I highly recommend this tour, along with the VG donuts.
We enjoyed the dolphins and donuts tour with Luciano as our captain. Our group of four was the only ones on the tour, making it feel very private. Luciano was excellent; he provided a brief tour of the area, we spotted one dolphin in two locations before arriving at our third spot where we encountered many more! It was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it.
Captain Kate and her first mate on April 24, 2026, at 9 am were wonderful. They provided a wealth of information and were excellent with our kids aboard. I highly recommend this trip with them.
This experience was both enjoyable and informative, and our toddler had a great time too. Captain Mike and Michelle were very knowledgeable, and the duration was just right.
We had a fantastic morning on the boat ride, spotting several dolphins along with their calves. It was a wonderful experience. Mike ensured that everyone had a chance to see the dolphins and shared helpful tips for sunset views once we returned to shore.
From check-in to shopping, donuts, and our departure, we had an incredible experience. Our captain was fantastic—entertaining and informative, which made the trip feel quick and enjoyable.
