We had the most amazing time with Cam. He was very knowledgeable about sharing the history of Wilmington with us as well as information about dolphins and wildlife. Thank you Cameron.

We had a truly beautiful sunset cruise thanks to our boatman. He navigated so smoothly and shared his wonderful knowledge of the local birds, pointing them out with genuine passion. The experience felt peaceful, unhurried, and deeply memorable. Highly recommend this boat ride, especially at sunset.

Captain Cameron was amazing! He was funny, knowledgeable, accommodating and laid-back. He is very much a people person. Dolphinately loved his corny jokes! At the halfway mark he dropped us off and allowed us to walk down the little sandy trail to a private beach. As the sun was setting on the way back, we started to spot dolphins and he did the best he could to get us close enough to them to get good pictures! Very happy we decided to come and do this experience for my 50th birthday. We got some beautiful pictures and the shared moment will be unforgettable! I absolutely recommend this tour!
