About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Michelle T0 contributionsWhat a fun trip !!Spike, Wendy and Kim were great !! They were soo fun and informative !! It was a beautiful day and lots of dolphins hung out with us.Written 15 March 2025
- 2doglady0 contributionsIt was Over Before We Were Ready for it To Be OverWe only had a couple of days to spend on Hilton Head Island so we were very selective in what we chose to do. We were glad we chose this dolphin cruise with Low Country Watersports. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. The crew of Captain Spike, Wendy, and Kim helped us all to have an enjoyable time. We saw plenty of dolphins but not real close to the boat. We felt safe riding out, sitting around the edge of the boat by the rails, and we were able to move around once we got further out. The time flew by and it was time to turn around and return before we were ready to leave. We left on time and returned at the scheduled time. I would certainly recommend this outing if you are on Hilton Head Island.Written 12 March 2025
- TucsonKaren0 contributionsGreat boat rideVery enjoyable and informative. We saw lots of dolphins including a baby and mama pair. The boat was comfortable enough and Wendy and the rest of the crew kept things lively. Would definitely recommend.Written 12 March 2025
- K2815PLlaurab0 contributionsGreat fun!We were looking for something to do when the water was too cold with teenagers in tow, so we took their dolphin cruise. We saw plenty of dolphins! Wendy, Kim and Captain Spike did a fantastic job of entertaining us with stories and comedy. The covered boat was great in the sun and it was a nice relaxing cruise around the sound. I highly recommend it.Written 12 March 2025
- merrymc0 contributionsFun for all agesThis tour is the perfect way to spend a few hours in Hilton Head and I would highly recommend it. Captain Spike, First Mate Wendy, and Second Mate Kim were both informative and entertaining. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins who came right up to the boat, even witnessed some having “happy time”. This is a perfect activity for all ages.Written 11 March 2025
- hollycN9216WH0 contributionsA MUST EXPERIENCE ADVENTUREThe boat tour was a Phenomenal Adventure. Our guide Paul was so knowledgeable and expressed such care for the NUMEROUS dolphins and birds we saw. He knew right where to go and even filled us in on history about the islands and waterways. We felt completely safe and barely got wet. SO MUCH FUN!!!!Written 7 March 2025

- Nicoyaforever0 contributionsNice Staff and BoatWe saw a few dolphins (mostly) from far away, but that is not the fault of the operator. Tour Guide and Captain of boat were both very friendly and informative. I would give this tour 5 dots if we had seen more dolphins than we saw.Written 31 January 2025

We had a wonderful time on our dolphin excursion. The crew was very informative and customer service oriented. The cruise itself was a wonderful experience. We had to find the one day it didnt rain. The dolphins were fabulous. It was so relaxing and enjoyable.

Had a fantastic time on our dolphin watching cruise this week! We go on one of these cruises every time we’re on HHI. But will only go back here in the future. Really was the best one yet with the best crew. Captain Mark and Miss Becky really made it fun and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. They have everything from paddle boards to private tours. Enjoy!

We did the sunset dolphin tour and fireworks. Shawn and Payton were the best guides! We had lots of laughs, learned alot about the dolphins as well as the area we were touring through and Shawn even photo bombed one of our pictures. Lol! We had a great time and would definitely recommend. We will be doing more tours with One HHI in the future!

We were onboard a pontoon boat with Captain Ben And First Mate Katlyn. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The boat was plenty spacious on our trip as it was not completely full. We caught some great photos of the dolphins including a baby dolphin. We missed a good sunset, but that was dependent on the clouds, not the trip. It was all capped off with a brief fireworks show. Not bad to catch all three on the same boat ride!

Me, my husband and our 3 year old daughter took the sunset dolphin and firework cruise on the dolphin daze! We had such a good time, our captain and first mate were so informative and we spotted dolphins immediately! Our daughter had a good time, but was somewhat impatient in between dolphin spotting and fireworks. We would definitely do this again!

I booked the dolphin, sunset and fireworks cruise for our family reunion and it was a blast! There were 20 in our group ranging in ages from 6 months to 58. Everyone had a great time. Some had never seen dolphins and it exciting to that we say numerous dolphins. The Captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. I could only book 9 on Trip Advisor so I called on a Sunday expecting to leave a message. I received a call back and was able to book the entire group and we had the boat to ourselves. Thanks for the great family memories!

The excursion while well organized, we were unable to stay out past 1 hour due to weather conditions. Staff was knowledgeable and the boat was spacious.

We are gonna be there Sept 24 thru Oct 1. I don't see anything listed. Is this offered that time of year?
Written 21 May 2022
Yes, they run the fireworks weekly on Tuesday at dusk. The only exception is July 4th week where of course the fireworks take place on the 4th (not Tuesday!) 👍🏻
