We have had three great adventures with Captain Brody: Sunset Dolphin Cruise, Disappearing Island, and most recently a fishing charter. Each one has been amazing. Captain Brody is very knowledgeable and patient; is a great tour! Looking forward to our next visit!

Hilton Head Dolphin Tours with Captain Brody is a MUST if you're in the area! My husband, our four teens (13, 14, 16, and 19), and I had such a great time on the private tour. It felt so much more personal than being on a crowded boat. The best part was seeing so many dolphins! They were everywhere and so playful. Watching them swim alongside the boat and pop up all around us was something we'll never forget. Captain Brody was fantastic. He knows so much about the dolphins—their habits, where to find them, what they eat, breeding, and so much more. He also shared interesting facts about the local ecosystem and other marine life. As a mom and a teacher, I loved that we came away having learned so much while having fun. Brody made the experience so memorable for our family. He was knowledgeable, personable, and just fun to spend time with on the water. We all agreed this was one of our favorite parts of our trip, and we’ll definitely be booking another tour the next time we’re in Hilton Head!

Response from the owner:Thankyou Nikii for the 5 star review as well as the kind words. We here at Hilton Head dolphin tours strive to create memorable expirences and look foward to being apart of your next aquatic adventure 😀.

Highly recommend!! We were supposed to do a Disappearing Island tour, but the weather was not cooperating. Instead, Captain Brody took us on a shark tooth and sea shell tour - we had such a good time! Captain Brody was very nice, helped us find a bunch of fossilized shark teeth, showed us several homes on the water, shared some history of the Hilton Head area, and stopped any time we saw a dolphin (there were several). Captain Brody even took the time to rescue a hat that blew overboard - he did a great job!

Response from the owner:Thankyou you Jacob for the five star review and im glad we were able to piviot the vanishing island tour to searching for sharks teeth
