This was AMAZING! We weren’t even out of the harbor and we started spotting dolphins! And we continued to see them throughout the cruise! Cannot recommend enough..it was AMAZING! The crew members were so kind and knowledgeable about dolphins as well as the entire area! It was my sisters first time seeing dolphins in the wild and she said it was the best experience!!
We saw plenty of dolphins! The captain was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts throughout the tour!
Everything was wonderful. Captain was knowledgeable and the dolphins were abundant. Crew was awesome too.
Super fun! And our captain was very informative. And I love we actually got to see dolphins, it really made the trip worth it.
You will definitely see dolphins there's quite a few if you don't see any your not looking trust me honestly
It was cancelled due to rainstorm. Looking forward to my refund. Would have liked to have gone, but we were leaving the area.
We saw SO MANY DOLPHINS! The captian and crew were very knowledgeable and told us about all the history of the island. We went on the 4pm cruise out of Harbour Town and I would highly recommend this tour. I worked with a lady named Shelby prior to booking and she was absolutely amazing. She was kind, patient and I could tell how much she loves this company. The boat was clean, had a snack bar and was big enough to roam around. The dolphins were coming right up to the boat and it felt like they were interacting with us. This was a truly magical experience.
Was nice and informative. Glad we went.
It was very nice, seen a lot of dolphins. The captain was very nice and knowledgeable. Easy to fine location
Captain worked hard to maneuver our boat so everyone could see the dolphins. Very knowledgeable about dolphins, we read a great deal and still learned new information about them
The crew was amazing! Super family friendly. The captain was really knowledgeable about the dolphins and shared a lot about their habits and how they communicate. Very relaxing and honestly the most dolphins I’ve ever seen on any dolphin excursion.
We enjoyed the dolphin cruise. We saw lots of dolphins, more than I expected. The ride was very relaxing. You will have to pay $10 for parking pass to get on resort for the day.
Very relaxing! Tons of dolphins along the way!
Was so much fun! Saw lots of dolphins. The staff was very friendly. Id definitely would go again the price was not bad at all.
It was great -- we go to see so many dolphins -- Ian was great - very friendly We didn't actually make it to the "ocean" for dolphins because we were seeing so many just from where we were -- lots of great dolphin pods and even some baby dolphins
We saw a lot of dolphins on this tour. Staff was great, super friendly. The tour guide was very educated on the Hilton head area.
I really enjoyed the tour. My family 1st time in Hilton Head my mom really enjoyed it we saw lots of dolphins
Dolphins were everywhere, the captain really knew how to find them We had a little rain to start but it cooled everything off on a hot day
Great way to spend 1.5 hours for a sea adventure especially with kids. Sam and Mike were terrific too!
Wonderful experience, especially the narration from the Captain. Plenty of dolphins seen playing and surfacing. Kid friendly experience.
Seen lots of dolphins , crew very friendly and helpful, nice cruise, loaded at time they said we would, no wait. Very nice.
Was amazing, saw lots and lots of dolphins, had a great boat ride and learned so much about the dolphins and the island itself. Awesome crew!
Saw so many dolphins! Ian and Justin were both so friendly and had such interesting facts to share with us about the dolphins and local history, etc. The boat itself was so clean with two very clean bathrooms onboard, as well as a small gift/snack shop on board. It had a nice variety of places to sit or stand during the trip to get in or out of the sun, etc. (you can move around). Totally worth the price!
This was a wonderful cruise we left and returned on time, the crew was very friendly. We saw plenty of dolphins and learned a lot about them. The vessel was nice and the ride was relaxing. The Captain explained a lot of views we saw and pointed out things along the way.
We saw a pod of dolphins, about 30, on our cruise with Captain Mike. Fun & informative while watching the dolphins put on a show for us. Highly recommend.
We had a great experience. The ride was smooth, informative and we saw so many dolphins. Highly recommend if you are looking for a dolphin cruise.
It was great. Saw a few dolphins. Justin (Captain) was very informative. Lauren (crew) was very friendly and works hard to make it enjoyable. I would definitely do this again. Sunset was beautiful.
We had a wonderful time . The crew was very nice . Would definitely book again.
It was a great Crew and the information that was given was great the dolphins was by far the best my grandkids really enjoyed it to
Learning more about Hilton Head Island and the surrounding islands, their history, and the wildlife plus dolphin watching
Took our family of four on the afternoon cruise and it did not disappoint. We saw TONS of dolphins, and learned a lot about the wildlife and landscape of the island. 10/10 would recommend! So great for families with kids!
Learned some new things about Dolphins, and enjoyed seeing the Dolphins and getting out on the water.
Not as many dolphins as advertised.
Great hotel except the beds are firm and my husband could not sleep.. Breakfast was awesome each morning
Boat was clean everything was great. The crew was very professional. The tour it lasted the perfect amount of time and we saw lots of dolphins. The fee was perfect, would have paid more gladly.
The boat was clean. Everyone was friendly and professional. The tour itself was the perfect length of time. It was wonderful.
Fun and Educational Great staff Saw lots of dolphins
Cruise was so Educational, fun and relaxing. The crew was friendly. Lots of dolphins ! Our teenagers captured some great photos and videos.
The cruise was lovely with a very professional staff. The captain’s navigation and narrative were so helpful in allowing everyone to see many and learn about the dolphins. Ashley was very friendly and helpful! We recommend this experience.
Perfect weather and smooth sailing in spite of early morning fog. The captain is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about finding dolphins and educating people regarding dolphin lifestyle and facts. We were fortunate to see a young one, perhaps two or three months old, with her mother and midwife teaching her how to get food. We also saw dolphins in three other locations. The crew is extremely friendly and answers any questions. Highly recommend going on The Vagabond!!!
Great outing, wonderful experience. It lived up to the hype. The Captin was the best. He was very knowledgeable and had a detailed presentation. He made the cruise worthwhile. We saw several dolphins and many other sites. Family friendly.
Was not allowed boarding at 2 pm scheduled time, boat crew stated it was too late had to be rebook for 4 pm. Ridiculous trying to park at the site, get there 30 mins prior.
It was very relaxing. You move very slowly, the captain calls out the dolphins around you…..and we saw a lot of dolphins. Then we slowly went out to the open ocean, saw the lighthouses and returned to the docks. Quiet and relaxing.
Justin, Sam, and all the team members were wonderful. We had our puppy, Riggs, with us and they accommodated all of us with smiles, patience, and understanding. Sam went out of his way to ensure that we were doing well. The tour itself was fantastic. We saw dolphins numerous times and Justin did a wonderful job describing high points along the way.
Excellent trip - we saw many dolphins! The captain and crew were terrific! We would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed dolphin tour as a family.Prices are reasonable and worth touring I highly recommend the tour
Our family attended the donuts with Santa cruise. According to life 360 we went took a look near by around 5-10mph. The staff was friendly and attentive from beginning to end. When u dock the boat. Santa and his helpers were ready to take pics. You can sit inside or in the open at the top. There was a craft table for the kids to color wooden craft ornaments. The captain helped us locate dolphins. The kids were super excited! Some even swam really close to the boat. There was a flock of birds that stayed behind, from beginning to end, that kelp us entertained between the dolphin sightings. I don’t know where they got their donuts from but they were So Good! The icing was just the right amount. I was not expecting the white sprinkle to have a hint o pepper mint but it was milk and delicious. I deducted a star because when we booked. The site said 90-120 min but it was a 60 min tour. Highly recommend for a family outing.
Dolphin sightings. Great information about area and birds, Only problem is it was hard to hear pilots muffled voice
This was such a wonderful cruise. Great atmosphere & crew. We were surrounded by dolphins and watching them play was so relaxing. Great afternoon!
