Beaufort Dolphin Adventures was able to accommodate our whole family on a beautiful boat tour! Rob was so knowledgeable and friendly, sharing information about the area along the way. He timed our trip perfectly for our kids and made every minute on the water count. We had the best time and will be back from Ohio to book again!
