Pros and cons
Zachary_G, Jun 2022
I showed up 30 minutes early… it took me 25 minutes to find a parking spot… I ran a quarter mile and watched the boat drive off. (As a visitor, I wish I knew more about the sea pines area, The lack of parking the far walk when you finally find a parking spot.) Super unfortunate. Honestly, I saw dolphins from the shore line and watch the sunset. So this trip really cost $100 just to be on a boat. Sea pines is nice though, nice shops, nice meals, beautiful water.

Fun!

Friendly crew, snacks, soda and alcohol.
Saw lots of dolphins up close!
Boat moves very slow so no worries about "sea sickness"
Great trip

Learning and seeing the history of Daufuskie Island was the best and watching g the sunset . The wait to get boarded was way too long but there was a mechanical issue. But overall best sunset cruise we’ve taken .
Quick getaway

Beautiful grounds. Lots of areas to sit and relax. Friendly staff. Over priced food and drinks. Garden view room is really a fishbowl looking at pool with pool guest looking back at you.
Wonderful cruise!

Friendly and accommodating staff that waited for us though we were running late. Cruise was pleasant and we saw dolphins without being too aggressive
Mother Nature at work.

We did see dolphins, but.....
Betsy_B, Oct 2021
The tour lived up to expectations, in so far as we did see some dolphins. However, the cruise tour guide was very boring, droning on and on about inconsequential things: such as, the different species of plants in the various marshes. He has to realize that not every moment on the cruise needs to be filled with his talking. The lovely scenery and the prospect of dolphin sightings often times were enough. To be fair, he WAS knowledgeable, but he doesn't have to talk ALL of the time.
