Great fun!

Capt Dean was so fun and entertaining! We learned a lot, got to see several dolphins. It was well worth the tour.

Thanks to the very knowledgeable guide, the tour was great. All our family really enjoyed it and would do it again during the warmer times.

A Worthwhile Tour in HHI

Published on Dec, 2024

Captain Bayard (not Mike) was a true professional throughout our tour, bringing the perfect mix of fun, humor, and deep knowledge of the region. He shared fascinating insights about the sea/plant/animal life, and even the intriguing stories behind the abandoned boats we passed. The Captain knew just where to find dolphins, ensuring we saw plenty of action. A must-do in Hilton Head!
