Captain Pete and first mate Michelle were wonderful and made sure everyone had a great view and learned a bit about the local area. It was well worth the money!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 412 reviews · 1h 30m · from $50

Hilton Head Sunset Dolphin Cruise on the Vagabond: guaranteed Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Daufuskie Island sunset views, 90 minutes.

“The captain's explanation was very interesting and it was very nice to see because he explained where the dolphins were. And I felt so good looking at the open sea. When I lived in New York, I honestly didn't want to look at it because it was by the sea, but after living in Dallas for a long time, I missed the sea, so I just liked it.”
