The Craigcat tour was a great experience! Captain Nick done a fantastic job and is well versed on the history and the wildlife in the area. We looked at everything from dolphins to lighthouses to where they filmed part of Forest Gump. Although the tour was 2 1/2 hours it went by fast because we were always busy. This is not a tour where you spend half your time floating and listening to a guide. You will stop a few times but most of the time you are moving. The Craigcat is easy to operate and I would definitely recommend this tour to any couple or family. My wife and I will be doing it again soon!

My husband and I went out this morning on a mini-cat tour around HHI with Bluewater Adventure Company. It was a small and intimate experience as we went out with tour guide, Mike and two other couples. We all showed up 45 minutes early as requested which allowed us an early departure from Shelter Cove Marina. The temps were much cooler in the morning given we are here in the month of August. What a blast! These little machines are fast and fun. Safety first with Captain Mike - Do what I do, go where I go and match my speed! This excursion allowed us to be on the water and see things that we would have otherwise missed out on. Being surrounded by nature at its finest and having dolphins to randomly surface around you all while giggling like a child on a ride, was a perfect way to start our day.

My 12 year old grandson is very adventurous so I was trying to think of something we could do to insure his interest and provide a new activity for him. My husband and I had done this tour and enjoyed it so I thought I’d try it with our grandson. He thought it was Super! I also thought it was Super! The 2 hours out on the water was well-utilized and - although it did go by fast - we felt like it lasted a good amount of time. Mike was our guide and he made it even more interesting. He made sure everyone could stay together and was very careful to provide the safest but best way to participate in this activity. LOVED IT! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazing day on the water! Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! From dolphins and sea birds, to rays and jellyfish - we saw so much low country wildlife, it was incredible! Captain Nick was fabulous - he was very informative, and kept our teenage boys engaged with his stories & local knowledge of the area. We loved our afternoon with him. The landscape was stunning and we had so much fun seeing the waterways in this unique way. I highly recommend this activity and Captain Nick!

These little Craig Cat catamarans are fast but very stable. Captain Matt did a great job explaining the area and the history. He pointed out a lot of marine life and told us interesting facts that we didn't know about them. He is very knowledgeable and easy to listen/talk to. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time on the water with Captain Matt.
It's a little on the pricy side, but don't let that keep you from doing it. Where else can you drive one of these and see wildlife and multi-million dollar homes at the same time?!
I highly recommend this tour. But only go with Bluewater Adventure (they are the highest rated for a reason)!!

Policy Loved the 2 Person Catamaran Tour With Guide Yesterday our Guide was Mike, he was GREAT!!!! Guides had everything set up, Catamaran was clean, water Iced down in cooler, knowledgeable briefing before leaving the Marina
The reason for leaving a Four Star Rating was because we did as requested and arrived 45 minutes Early. Due to guest not arriving early my 65 year old husband and I had to sit out in the Heat for LATE guest. This not fair for those of us that follow the rules. A cut off time should be included on your Website to stipulate that at a certain time if you have not arrived you will be considered a no show And billed accordingly
Mike tried to reach guest several times to make sure if they were coming, with no response, later they came strolling in with no apologies for being late

Thank you so much for your review! We apologize that other guests were late for the trip. Sadly even though we list it all over the confirmation email people still tend to show up late sometimes. We have updated our booking system and website to make sure it is very clear to everyone. We hope to see you again in the future!

Captain Nick at Bluewater Adventures guided my husband and I through a most extraordinary and exhilarating catamaran tour through Hilton Head waterways. An added bonus is that Captain Nick is a native of the island and enriched the trip with authentic and personal historical accounts of Hilton Head and surrounding area. What a ride! This is a “must do” activity in HHI and Captain Nick is the “must do” guide

We did the two person tour and had a blast!!!! Captain Tom was so kind he even let me use his personal jacket since I didn’t bring one. If that’s not the best customer service ever I don’t know what it. I highly recommend bringing a windbreaker even if it is beautiful and hot outside. I also enjoyed getting the history of the islands. I have been to Hilton Head MANY times and never knew anything about its origin. I feel way more connected to this beautiful vacation spot. Oh and lots of dolphins!!!! It’s a unique experience being that close to the water and seeing a dolphin jump out of the water.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to attend the catamaran tour with Blue Water Adventure. I attended solo and wasn't sure if I was up to the task to drive alone although I wanted to experience driving. After the safety overview, Mike graciously offered to be my driver and I would have the option to take pictures freely and have the "best view" on the tour. After contemplating, I took him up on his offer and I am so glad I did! He was not only very knowledgeable of the area and history, but he was also extremely personable and a pleasure to have as a tour guide. We saw several dolphins and birds all within a lovely tranquil environment. This tour far exceeded my expectations and I already recommended to a few people once I returned. Mike is a great addition to the team and I would recommend other visitors to ask for him. Thanks again for making my vacation on the island very memorable!

Today 10 of us did the Party Cycleboat from 25-58 years old. We had an absolute blast! Everyone was great from booking it to the Captain and 1st mate. Was a fun filled, gorgeous day on the water and BYOB. We brought our own coolers, but they provided ice and coolers also. We also brought our own playlist to use with their bluetooth speakers. Bathroom also on board. Highly recommend.

Hi! We are a family of 5 visiting HHI the first week in August. We have 3 kids 13, 11 and 5. Is there anyway we could participate if we don't have enough drivers? Could our oldest ride with the tour guide?
Thank you!
