We booked the Sunset Dolphin Tour for our family (two adults and two kids 6 and 4) because of the rave Trip Advisor reviews. We even had coupons for other Dolphin tours and went with this one instead! Our captain and guide, Brent, were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots to learn and they took time to answer questions even from... More

Jim and Casey were awesome! We were a group of 15 and booked the private boat to Capers Island. We had time to explore the island and walk the beach first. Then they took us to the creek and taught us how to net the blue crabs. They cooked the crabs on the beach and taught us how to clean... More

We had a great time on our Eco Tour. While it might seem pricey, it was definitely worth the money for the three hours we spent on the barrier island. Even though it was sprinkling, our Captain, Robbie, made sure we got the full experience. We learned a lot about the ecosystem of the barrier islands, had plenty of time... More

I cannot say enough about this great experience. The weather was really iffy the day we were scheduled to go out, so the guide allowed us to transfer our reservations to the next day. The next day the weather was still questionable, so the guide said if we went and the trip was bad he would refund our money. We... More

We took the Sunset Dolphin Tour which includes a brief stop on Capers Island. I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about the tour. Jim and Courtney, as our guides, were very friendly and knowledgeable. Despite a windy, overcast, day, we had a great time! In fact, every one of our family of 5 agreed that this was... More

We took the eco tour to the barrier island this week and we really enjoyed it. Along the way we saw some dolphins and a variety of birds, but it was the experience of the uninhabited barrier island that we will never forget. The unusual experience and sights along the beach where the trees have been knocked down made you... More

We did a sunset dolphin cruise earlier this month and enjoyed it quite a bit. Although we didn't see many dolphins during the trip out and back from Caper's Island (it was rather cool that evening, so that may have had something to do with it), we did say many different types of birds, different types of crabs and even...

We did a 3 hour tour to one of the uninhibited barrier islands. Our guide was very friendly and a font of knowledge. Basically everything we found or saw, he was able to tell us something about it.
