    Starfish on the disappearing island
    Lala V.

    My family and I (husband and kids ages 7,7,3 and 11 months) went on the Dolphin and Disappearing Island Cruise with Captain Scott. After hearing such great reviews on FB groups, I booked Commander Zodiac right away! Captain Scott was very knowledgeable about the island, dolphins and marine life. We got to see dolphins during the tour and jellyfish, crabs, hermit crabs, starfish and sand dollars on the disappearing island. My entire family loved this tour!

    Amazing dolphin tour. We saw tons of dolphins and Graham also took us out to see the marsh. The smaller private boat was perfect and worth the extra money. My toddler absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a dolphin / boating experience.

    Excellent tour with Graham. We saw a lot of dolphins (up close and personal) and we also saw a few Manta Ray's. I highly recommend the tour.

    Our captain Graham was great. Excellent outdoor activity, a lot of fun. We saw quite a few dolphins too.

    This is our 2nd time booking with Commander Zodiac! Highly recommend this private charter. Graham took us to the Disappearing Daufuskie Sandbar. This 2.5 hour tour is a must see in Hilton Head. He took us on an great tour of the area AND saw dolphins on the way. We had 45 mins on the sandbar which was perfect. Found seashells and tons of sand dollars. We definitely book again next time we are in Hilton Head.

    This was a wonderful excursion! Everyone we dealt with was so very friendly and the trip was wonderful. We saw lots of dolphins and spent time on the disappearing sand bar. There was lots to see there too. This is a good trip for families and seniors. Easy on and off the zodiac at the sandbar and the dock. It is not a big vessel so you don't feel like you are on a cattle boat. Our captain was very informative and had a good sense of humor. All in all it was a wonderful time!

    Booked the one hour dolphin tour to end our first ever HHI vacation in the middle of October, and it was excellent! Todd was terrific. We lucked out with beautiful weather but the tidal shifts made keeping the boat on/near the dolphins a challenge for him, but he did a wonderful job. Made two stops and saw dolphins at both places. Todd gave us some history of the island and one of the lighthouses on Daufuskie island and he made the whole hour trip the highlight of our week. Next time will definitely book the two hour trip. The boats are comfortable and fairly smooth through the water even when it was choppy. I would say unless you have severe back problems or get motion sick extremely easy (my wife and daughter get car sick often but had no trouble with this) the tour should be no problem at all. The trip goes out into the harbor only which is typically farily calm, except in our case because of the tides - but even that wasn't bad. Todd knew exactly where the dolphins feed and typically hang out and we were on a small pod very quickly into the trip. He was very knowledgeable about them as well as the ecosystem around the island. So not only was it a fun trip but educational as well. Highly recommended!

    Not only did we see 20+ dolphins, but our captain Graham was also super kind and really knowledgeable.

    DO NOT MISS THIS .. What a great time we had with Bill ... he loves Beaufort and it shows …read more. Through him we fell in love with Beaufort too. He knows his town, it's history, architecture and MOVIE his knowledge is awesome. Plus thev A-list movies filmed in the surrouding areas ... It's a mere hour drive from HIlton Head and worth the trip. Thanks again Bill ( p.s. hope you enjoyed the El Camino) Lis - J and Mo

    When you book this walking history tour ask if Janet will be giving you tour. If not don't take…read moreit !!!!! Our Charleston based tour planner and staff at our Beaufort B and B raved about Janet's tour and how she brings the city of Beaufort and its magnificent homes and history to life. Unfortunately her delegate who gave us our tour on June 5 was UNACCEPTABLE. I believer we would have enjoyed our two hours more just walking around on our own. We learned more of Beaufort's history, houses and residents on our Dolphins Adventures Tour than we did with this replacement guide. There were only 4 of us on the tour and the guide spent the entire time talking with two phd child psychology students, a couple, trying to impress them with his knowledge of their field of study. He spent more time on this than talking about Beaufort. We traditionally love walking tours as it allows for engagement with the guide etc. We were ignored like we were not even on the tour zero engagement the exact opposite of every other one of our tours on our two week trip. . A church was unlocked for us to walk in. Unfortunately a number of others sauntered in the open door and we had to wait a good 15 minutes while the others moseyed around the interior used the bathroom (queued) etc. as our guide had to wait until they left. Because he had to lock up.
