Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise

2.Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,424 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $39

Review of Hilton Head’s 90-minute dolphin cruise, with calm Broad Creek views, local guides, wildlife, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“We never made the tour. My long term, live in partner became ill on the morning of the tour. Viator obviously believes that feeling dizzy and throwing up wasn’t enough punishment for my partner, so they decided to not refund our money because of uncaring policies. Independent of that, his condition would negatively impacted the other tour guests. As such, I am not comfortable booking any further excursions with a company who lacks good common sense, good public relations, or empathy and compassion for their customers.”
