Absolutely loved this tour and Captain Jared was fantastic. This size boat is ideal for this type of tour (and it’s very stable in the water, for anyone who is worried about that). Highly recommend and would do again.
We had the best time on the boat! Captain Kelly was fantastic! Great fun! Wonderful trip! Highly recommend! Saw a bunch of dolphins as well
Our captain, Angela, was awesome! She was super knowledgeable about the area, and she was fun to chat with. The tour itself was so fun! We brought our 23-month-old, and he did great. Highly recommend!

We loved our trip to Hilton Head Island this July but found that the only thing lacking was shelling on the beach in front of our condo. Well, Island Explorer to the rescue!! We took the trip to the Hidden Island and found shells, sand...More
