This multi-activity operator consistently delivers memorable experiences across their diverse offerings, from the popular alligator and nature tours through Sea Pines Forest Preserve to parasailing adventures and Daufuskie Island transport. Louise and Frank get special mentions as standout guides who are knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely entertaining. The alligator tours are a particular hit, with guests spotting everything from baby gators to full-grown adults while learning fascinating facts about local wildlife. The hour-plus boat rides cover multiple lakes and provide excellent value. Beyond the nature tours, visitors rave about the parasailing experiences with Jack, Kemmy, and Arthur, who create a safe yet thrilling atmosphere with plenty of laughs along the way. The Daufuskie Island transport service earns praise for being efficient and more convenient than traditional ferry options, with Captain Steve and Captain Frank both noted for their helpfulness and friendliness. Bike and jet ski rentals add to their versatile lineup. One review mentioned feeling rushed and encountering condescending staff, though this appears isolated given the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the team's professionalism and warmth across all activities.
We took the Alligator Tour with Anthony today and highly recommend it if you’re in the area. Anthony was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Sea Pines Preserve. We learned so much from him. Saw so many birds, baby gators and turtles.
