Mark is very friendly and helpful. We had a cold day, and he provided blankets. The dolphins were not active on our trip, but he road around until we finally did get to see a few and sent us pictures he took through his gopro. Good trip overall and informative.

We wanted an experience that would appeal to all of our kids - from the oldest (23) to the youngest (5). Mark delivered! The communication before the cruise was clear and the boat well maintained. Mark shared a variety of information about Hilton Head and the surrounding areas while taking us to several spots to see not only dolphins, but more ecological sites. We had a wonderful time and would definitely cruise with Mark again when in the Hilton Head area.

Meeting captain Mark made our trip unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. The experience was worth more than we paid. We highly recommend Cross Island Cruises and look forward to going out again next year.

We found dolphins and Captain Mark was informative about the local landmarks, ecosystem and attractions/restaurants appropriate for our family (including a 2.5 year old)

Once again Captain Mark was perfect! We had a great sunset tour, saw lots of dolphins. He took us to dolphin cove, shell island, and it was a beautiful 2 hours! This is our second tour with Captain Mark, and I can't wait to go again!

We loved our time with Capt. Mark! We booked a cruise for our family of 5. I loved how he kept us in the loop with great communication before the trip. He started the cruise on time and made sure my kids felt safe before departing. The cruise was educational but the dolphin sightings were magical! The 90 minute period was perfect for my family. Highly recommend.

Mark was amazing! It was an awesome cruise with just our family! It was a great start to our vacation, we saw starfish, sand dollars, dolphins, a baby shark, along with so many other things. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great tips for our trip! Would definitely recommend any of his tours!!!!

Captain Mark did a wonderful job making our dolphin adventure exciting and educational. He made sure that we were all comfortable, felt safe and saw dolphins. It was fun to have our own private cruise and captain. I would highly recommend the dolphin cruise.

Captain Mark was so nice and knew a lot of interesting facts about various things we saw. He is great with kids and made their experience more fun for them. He also used his go pro camera to help us get great dolphin pictures.We would definitely go on another boat tour with Captain Mark.

We had a fabulous time with Captain Mark on the private dolphin tour! We were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins and learned so much on our tour. We saw parts of the island and surrounding waterways that we otherwise would have never been able to explore. This tour was perfect for all ages and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Captain Mark!

Captain Mark was very nice, informative, and fun. We got to see dolphins and devil rays that were jumping out of the water. Not only did we get to see these things, but he also taught use somethings about the sea life and their habitat. We would definitely use him again!

Who doesn't like dolphins? We took a private cruise with Captain Mark to discover a few in their natural habitat. We departed from Cross Island Boat Landing under the Coligny Beach Bridge and cruised down Broad Creek towards Daufuskie Island. The weather was warm and the waters calm, providing a great day for a boat ride.Captain Mark is a hospitable host. The boat for our private tour comfortably held the five adults and two children on board. I appreciated the fact that we weren't on a big boat with a lot of strangers. The small boat provided an intimate experience, and Captain Mark made it feel like we were riding on a friend's boat as he talked to us about dolphins and the ecosystem of Broad Creek. But Captain Mark didn't just talk to us; he invited us in on the conversation. He welcomed questions, and I was particularly impressed with the manner in which he thoroughly answered all my grandson's many questions and commended him for his inquisitiveness.We were able to discover several dolphins on our cruise and Captain Mark taught us much about the lives they live. But there was nothing stuffy or rehearsed about his talk, as if he were presenting a lecture. Instead, it really did seem like we were on a boat with a friend who happened to know a lot about dolphins and nature.The dolphins were charming, because that's just how dolphins are. They moved in the water with grace and a few deliberately approached our boat close enough to make eye contact. The adults and children alike were delighted with each encounter.So, if you like dolphins (and I know you do) go ahead and book a dolphin cruise with Captain Mark. He and the dolphins are ready to welcome you!

We make a point to get out on the water every summer we're at HHI. After 20+ years, we've been out on MANY of the dolphin, sunset, and fishing excursions. After last night's sunset dolphin cruise, we all agreed this was our favorite. Captain Mark has a wealth of knowledge about all the sea life here, which made the outing so much more. We saw more of the island than any other cruise we've been on, plus we were able to get close-up views of so many dolphins and even some devil rays. We are definitely saving this to our favorites list so we can do it again!
