Great tour

Great experience! Parking pass requires cash.

What a great experience! I was expecting a tiny little boat like other tours I’ve been on previously but this thing was huge! There was plenty of space to walk around and not feel cramped. We saw lots of dolphins and got to look around at all the beautiful scenery. 1.5 hours is a bit long if you have little kiddos…. But overall it was a great experience. Heads up if you go though, you have to go on to sea pines resort which requires a parking pass. We knew that ahead of time, what we didn’t know was…. You can only pay in cash for the parking pass. So, come prepared for that!
Great time!

Very nice cruise with plenty of dolphin sightings. The Captain's commentary during the tour was helpful and informative. However, finding parking at Harbor Town before the cruise was a challenge and it was disappointing that the captain wouldn't pose for any pictures with the kids afterwards, but overall . . . an excellent cruise!
A fun experience

It can not be the standard, but we weren't 5 minutes from the pier before we were seeing dolphins!
The boat was clean, the operators friendly, and they deck hands walked the ship regularly to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The snack bar also sold soft drinks, which was fantastic.
Really enjoyed the tour, the sights, and the explanation of the Dafuskie and HHI landmarks. Great trip, enjoyed by my whole family including my teenage sister in laws and my young kids.
Thanks again!
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.
