Pros and cons

, Jun 2022
I showed up 30 minutes early… it took me 25 minutes to find a parking spot… I ran a quarter mile and watched the boat drive off. (As a visitor, I wish I knew more about the sea pines area, The lack of parking the far walk when you finally find a parking spot.) Super unfortunate. Honestly, I saw dolphins from the shore line and watch the sunset. So this trip really cost $100 just to be on a boat. Sea pines is nice though, nice shops, nice meals, beautiful water.

We did see dolphins, but.....

The tour lived up to expectations, in so far as we did see some dolphins. However, the cruise tour guide was very boring, droning on and on about inconsequential things: such as, the different species of plants in the various marshes. He has to realize that not every moment on the cruise needs to be filled with his talking. The lovely scenery and the prospect of dolphin sightings often times were enough. To be fair, he WAS knowledgeable, but he doesn't have to talk ALL of the time.

Not worth it. You can see the same dolphins and sunset from the beach.

I would say this was a very average experience. Frankly, they captain seemed like he had been out all day and was over it and didn’t want to be out there. Dolphin activity was a minimum and the boat didn’t really go anywhere. I thought we might actually head out somewhere and cruise for a bit but you just hang out in the harbor.
Nice tour and great guide

The boat narrator did an excellent job and was very entertaining. He pointed out wildlife and many dolphins were spotted. I wish this sunset tour would have started a little earlier due to it now getting dark fast. Besides that the trip was great by the tour, unfortunately no one can help if screaming babies are on board. :)
We had a pod of dolphins...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
