Awesome time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something unique to do in Hilton Head. We were lucky enough to see four different pods of dolphins, one pod was as close as 10ft from our boat. Tour guide was knowledgeable and a lot of fun.

We were there on vacation in Hilton Head, SC. We went there looking for things to do. We were able to book last minute. Captain Todd is wonderful & sweet gentleman with lots of knowledge. My husband & I loved our small boat experience. Saw more dolphins than we could count. Had several swim by our boat. Please if you get chance check them out!!! Thanks again for memories!!

We took the Disappearing Daufuskie Sandbar trip. Short summary - really awesome trip, very memorable for all and would definitely recommend it. We had previously taken a trip with CZ three years ago and returned based on that good experience, but this one was even better.Captain Graham took great care of us and especially my 79 year old mother who is less mobile than she would like to think. She had a good forward-facing seat in the middle of the Zodiac, and while the fast trip across Calibogue Sound out to the sandbar was a little bumpy at times, she seemed to enjoy it, and my kids, 11, 13 and 17, were thrilled by the Zodiac zipping over the waves. The sandbar itself is other-worldly. Too many interesting things to list, but it included dozens of living starfish, crabs, various mollusks (mostly still inhabited), razor clams and the most interesting thing which one of my kids found by digging into the sand with his hands, a mole crab (albunidae) - which is something we had never seen before and required post-trip internet searches to identify.On the trip back, Captain Graham took us into Bull Creek for a while looking for dolphins. We didnt see any there, but cruising around in the salt marshes is cool on its own. Right near the end of the trip we finally stumbled on a couple of dolphin pods feeding back in Broad Creek not far from the marina. Overall, fantastic trip - highly recommended!

We had a great time on the water and captain tom was great with both the kids and adults!!

This was a really great experience and a very fun and memorable time for our family! We had Captain Graham for our trip and he made it fun and educational. He had tons of knowledge he shared with us and answered every question our kids asked.We had two different times we saw dolphins, once was a single one and next was four or five together.Great experience and would definitely recommend to anybody!!

Absolutely amazing. A must do with kids. Todd was beyond amazing and great to talk with. We will be back. We got to see bottle nose dolphins and turtles we well as beautiful parts of Hilton head.

We saw 25-30 dolphins! There was one spot where it seemed like the dolphins were feasting together on a school of mullet. They were all over the place. It was amazing! We went out with Captain Graham. He was very knowledgeable of the area and told us all about the island on the boat ride. Highly recommended!

Like the new location and new tour around Pinckney Island. We saw several dolphins.

They staff was very friendly. We were running late and they accommodated us. We felt very safe on the boat. They were knowledgeable about the area and we were able to see dolphins.

Super fun family adventure. We loved the individual experience. Would take other tours from Commander Zodiac.

Child-like wonder for all as we were lucky enough to have a dolphin swim around our boat. The Disappearing Daufuskie tour was well worth it as we got to explore the Sandbar too. Scott was a great guide around Hilton Head with informative lesson on dolphins and the history of Hilton Head.

We had a great time on the dolphin tour! Scott was a great, laid back, guide. We saw tons of dolphins and had a wonderful time on the water.

Excellent trip out to see dolphins. Captain Scott was entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Amazing dolphin tour. We saw tons of dolphins and Graham also took us out to see the marsh. The smaller private boat was perfect and worth the extra money. My toddler absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a dolphin / boating experience.

We did the vanishing island tour that also stopped to see dolphins. Scott was our captain and he was fantastic. Told us all about the dolphins, the marshland and really had a ton of knowledge to share. We saw many dolphins including a baby. He took us to the vanishing island and we had about an hour to spend there. Visiting the vanishing island was breathtaking. We were there when the tide was coming back in and it was so amazing to see this island go back under water. We found some great shells as well as saw some starfish and sand dollars. This was really a cool experience. I highly recommend.

Went to vanishing island with Captain Graham today, island was amazing, he provided lots of information and then we were off to see the dolphins! We saw a small pod strand feed three times. Best experience ever!!!!

Amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly guide, highly recommend!! 🥰🥰

Third year the family did this tour. Fantastic time. Always see dolphins, up close. The kids love the disappearing island. Great for shell hunting and getting close to some smaller sea life. The guides are the best part of the trip.

The original and always the best dolphin and natural tour on the island.

Definitely worth doing! We had rough seas so not much in the way of dolphin sightings, but a great ride all the same.

Todd was our tour guide. Excellent tour! I felt like we were on a National Geographic tour. Within the first 5 min we were surrounded by dolphin. He explained their habits and what they were doing. At the end of our tour he showed us what is known as “stranding”. 3 or more dolphin will v-line towards the shore in the marsh pushing fish towards the shoreline. The fish in their attempt to escape will jump out of the water on to the banks and the dolphin will follow the fish on to the bank to feast. Very rare and very cool.

Captain Todd was great and informative. Got us real close to the dolphins without bothering their feeding time. We had to go out a ways in order to see the dolphins so be prepared for a long ride. Definitely worth it for the little ones (4 years old).

This was worth every penny, our guide was great, we saw so many dolphins, it was a beautiful day and it was a lot of fun. I wish we could have spent a little extra time at the sandbar, I wasn’t able to find any shells, but other than that... perfect!

Its one of our favorite activities on Hilton Head. Weve been doing this for four years and always have a great time. Year after year, its a treat to see dolphins and weve never been disappointed.

Tom and his staff were great! It was obvious from the moment we first spoke on the phone that they want to provide the best experience possible. Thanks and see you next time!

This is a great tour. We have been on this almost every time we have been to Hilton Head and each time it was great - even the time we got caught in a storm. This year we brought our 11 month old and he had a great time. We have enjoyed both Andrea and Scott as guide and are looking forward to riding with them again next year.

Commander Zodiac is always a great time

Fantastic. Captain Todd is an expert in his field. He navigated us very smoothly to the dolphins. Very knowledgeable staff and the small boats give a personal touch to the captain and to the dolphins.

It was a great tour with a very knowledgable guide. He let the kids drive for a while, and took us to a sand bar where we saw all kinds of sea creatures. Next time we will bring a bucket for sand dollars, and food and drinks. We will definitely go back next year!

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride was scenic and we were able to see dolphins up close without feeling obstrusive.

I’ve been bringing my family back each year for 5 years and they always entertain! Great job Captain Scott and the other Captains of Commander Zodiac!

A beautiful day in Hilton Head and the Commander Zodiac tour was the perfect way to spend it. We saw several pods of dolphins, the marsh area and learned about the area from Captain Todd. My husband and I would highly recommend for families, couples, and anyone interested in learning about the eco system of the area.

Our guide was knowledgable and personable. We had a great time.

If you want to see dolphins up close in a Navy SEAL-type Zodiak boat, this is THE place to go on HHI. We always enjoy it!

Extrememly disrespectful to the fact we had an elderly that could not go. We made the reservation 8 hours before our scheduled time. One of the elderly fell ill and we were told they would still be charged. Needless to say they tried to make us pay for 4 when only 2 were going to go. Reported my card lost so they couldnt charge me.
