We visited 7/10/2011 and had Captain Abby as our Captain. We couldn't have had a more enjoyable time. Abby was informative, fun, and knew how to cater to the two 4-yr olds on the boat. He made their first time viewing dolphins a spectacular event, which made it even more special for their parents watching their joy. Thanks to all…
Hey, you’re the go to eprerts. Thanks for hanging out there and showing us the best dolphin tour ever!
I wanted to thank Captain Scott for a great dolphin tour back in mid-August. My 3 year old son and 4 year old neice were SO excited to meet a real captain, and get to see so many dolphins (and a shark's shadow). It made our first trip to Hilton Head a huge hit and a great memory we will all have for years to come. Thanks Scott!

What can I say, if you come to Hilton Head Island and do not schedule an excursion with Commander Zodiac you have missed out. Even if you have never been out on a boat before, but love nature, wildlife, the water, dolphins etc. … this is definitely your chance. Unbelievable experience! Phenomenal captains ! I believe Cmdr. Zodiac was the 1st water oriented eco-tour business on Hilton head, now there are many others… but none compare! The summer on Hilton Head would just not be complete without it.
Our daughter has grown up with these wonderful people every summer for the past 12 years. They are the best that Hilton Head has to offer and their owners, Tom and Jana are fabulous business people. The dolphin tours, Kid's Beach Fun and junior sailing school are activities we have enjoyed year after year. We highly recommend Commander Zodiac!!
