Bryce was a great guide. He was informative, fun and made sure we were comfortable with the boat and water. It was so fun, you saw a lot of the island and many dolphins came right up to the boat. Once you were out of the no wake you could go pretty fast. Our 10 year old daughter laughed the whole time. A hilight, So much fun! Thank you Bryce we will return for other activites. Everyone was great!
Awesome!!

Our experience was an absolute dream. The boat itself was good -but what made us want to return was our guide, Jack! He made sure our trip was special by being so knowledgeable on the history of the various islands while also making our trip feel adventurous and fun! We will never forget this experience and thank you for that, Jack!!! Recommend Jack if you ever do this tour :)
Excellent trip

Family Fun in a Zodiac

, Oct 2020
If you would like a fun-filled family adventure, this is the excursion to do!
Captain Jack went over the directions of how to operate the Zodiac (a rubber raft motor boat). He guided the group through the waters with safety in mind. We stopped every so often so he could tell us about the history of the island. You are able to see Hilton Head Island from the water, as you bounce through the waves!
We got to the area of the dolphins. They surfaced quickly and went under ~ so it was difficult to take a picture ~ but that's just nature!
Anyone who has a valid driver's license, may drive the Zodiac. At times, we went full throttle ~ as we bounced through the waves.
This is an active excursion, not a sit & watch! Captain Jack enjoys taking groups out ~ so if you're looking for a fun-filled adventure ~ book this excursion!
Amazing mini boat dolphin tour

We all need more mini-boats in our life
Keara_B
, Jul 2020
We loved driving mini-boats! It was a fun experience for the whole family, incl. kids ranging in ages from 6 to 17. The only reason I rated a 4 instead of a 5 is because there was little to no focus on dolphins. Yes, we saw a few in the distance, but the kids were hyped to see and learn more based on the name of the tour. Other than though we had a blast.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
