Great tour
Angela_R, Jun 2022
Great staff, we seen a lot of dolphins. Was a little rough in the open ocean. All I. All seen dolphins pretty quick in the trip!
Great experience! Parking pass requires cash.
Megan_G, Jun 2022
What a great experience! I was expecting a tiny little boat like other tours I’ve been on previously but this thing was huge! There was plenty of space to walk around and not feel cramped. We saw lots of dolphins and got to look around at all the beautiful scenery. 1.5 hours is a bit long if you have little kiddos…. But overall it was a great experience. Heads up if you go though, you have to go on to sea pines resort which requires a parking pass. We knew that ahead of time, what we didn’t know was…. You can only pay in cash for the parking pass. So, come prepared for that!
Great time!

Dolphins and stingrays were the highlight. Family had a great time. Would do it again. Staff very friendly loved the picture they took. It was a very easy process to buy and board.
Dolphin “Cruise”
Brianna_W, May 2022
First and foremost the crew and the overall experience was great. We seen plenty of dolphin. But, for the first 45 mins we stayed in the same spot and turned circles over the same 3 dolphins. We were looking more for a cruise.
Not a fan

Trip was canceled twice- found out after we had already paid 9$ to park each time. Understand there were mechanical problems, but we should have been notified earlier.
Fun in the sun with the Dolphins .
Shanthi_S, Dec 2021
The cruise was nice . It was a gorgeous day. Thank u for cleaning up before we got on.
The narrator could have been a bit louder. We had folks talking loud at the back of the boat on the upper deck. I did not know Dolphins had 3 stomachs. Thank you for that info and more.

Our most memorable moment was: Seeing and getting a picture of a dolphin right by the boat; and seeing a dolphin leap right out of the water near us
