    I'm holding a tiny jellyfish in my hand - these don't sting
    Eileen H.

    A year ago with took this same tour with Bluewater Adventure and had a fantastic time with our adult son and oh so cool teen nephew. We had a thrilling time then and our son was anxious to go again with his girlfriend and so were we because we loved it last year. I wasn't surprised to see there is a copycat tour when reading web reviews and let me share that people were confused thinking they were going back to Bluewater and had a bad experience. Don't make that mistake! We took our tour with Bailey on what turned out to be the best day of the week. My husband worried it would be just the same as last year but nope! The Capt is a local and we understand all of the guide ps with Bluewater are local to the area with experience in the gorgeous waterways we toured. Bailey gave us a great tour and shared all sorts of local lore and facts about the islands, the dolphins (we saw more than I could count and they were right up near us. Beautiful!) we also stopped to see a big (school? Pod?) of jelly fish surrounding us. Great fun! Worth every penny it costs which is a bargain when you consider you have your own boats for two and your driving and having the time of your life! We will be back and will be fprecommending to all of our friends and family!

    If you're thinking about taking a catamaran tour book it with Bluewater Adventure, I can't recommend them enough! This was the first time I've ever been on a catamaran and the experience couldn't have been better -- they clearly explained everything we needed to know about driving the vessel to keeping us safe out on the water and the crew was fun and happy to be there! We got to explore, learn and see so much -- a few times we stopped and huddled as a group to hear about the history of Hilton Head and Daufuskie and one of those times we were lucky enough to have dolphins swim right by us which was so cool! We had the BEST time on the water with Captain Tom, CJ and Rambo!

    Kenny was a great instructor! He made everyone feel very comfortable with the boats. I am not very good at driving motorized vehicles and he helped me be a super star by the end of the trip. We learned a lot about the island and my teenagers loved it even more than I did

    Our family had a great two hours on the cycle boat. Our captains, Brian and Nick, had ice in the coolers for our BYOB "adult beverages." You really don't have to cycle at all (The boat has a motor); you are there to have a good time and see beautiful scenery. We saw dolphins and a manta ray and beautiful homes on our 2 hour cruise. The boat actually had a bathroom on it which was a pleasant surprise. The boat was exceptionally clean and a great time was had by all.

    Craigcat's are the latest and greatest adventure we have gone on and this company does a great job with the tour!! My mom and I rented two spots on the 2.5 hour craigcat tour with Tom as or tour guide/captain. He was extremely personable, outgoing, knowledgeable and vocal throughout the entirety of the tour. We started off going through detailed safety measures, use of the craigcats, waterways and regulations and an overview of the tour. The boats were tricky to get the hang of for the first 5 minutes or so and after that we were all pros. Tom said we were one of the best tours he's had with no driving issues. He took us around the waterways to see the Sea Pines lighthouse, Daufuskie Islands lighthouse, wildlife, etc. He gave us history lessons at each stop and shared some fun facts from his own life experiences in the waterways. We learned a lot and found it most enjoyable and fun! We got to see dolphins up close, osprey, and lots of other birds. It was a more expensive tour for two but we would definitely go back and do it again; it was well worth it!

    I can't wait until we're back on the island to book with the Commander Zodiac team again! Janna…read morewas awesome about communicating the changes with the weather and helped us rebook our tour so we wouldn't miss out on seeing dolphins. We also had the best captain on the island, Captain Todd! I cannot say enough about this wonderful gem of a man. We had booked a private tour since it was originally supposed to be the entire family, but because of changes not everyone was in town yet. It ended up just being four of us on the small boat and it was worth it. Captain Todd was so knowledgable about the island, the dolphins and the tides. Our 4.5 yo is very curious and Captain Todd answered every questions like a pro! After she told him that she loved seashells he made a special excursion to shell island (I never even knew all those banks were shells and not sand!) and found her the most amazing shells to take home. We saw so many dolphins! The dolphin tour was equal parts exhilarating and relaxing and we were so happy it worked out even with the impending storm. Both my 4.5yo and 9mo loved the tour and neither were afraid at any point even though it was there first time on a speed boat. We will definitely be back!

    We had the best ride with Captain Mark at the end of the August. It was a perfect summer afternoon,…read moreand he was able to start a bit earlier since we arrived ahead of time. We saw TONS of dolphins and jellyfish, and he took us to shell island! Mark was super knowledgeable about the island and the nature around us. Highly recommend doing a tour with Commander Zodiac - it feels like such a personalized experience with people who know their stuff and care about the environment.
