    Captain Will and Captain Nick have clearly built something special here, judging by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback from families who've experienced their tours. What stands out immediately is how well these guides connect with kids of all ages. Parents consistently mention how patient and engaging both captains are, with children as young as four having memorable experiences. The tours seem incredibly flexible too, with captains tailoring activities based on what each group wants to do, whether that's shark fishing, hunting for shark teeth on secluded beaches, crabbing, or visiting Shell Island. The variety packed into these excursions is impressive. Families regularly report seeing dolphins up close (sometimes within touching distance), catching bonnethead sharks, finding fossilized shark teeth, holding stone crabs, and exploring pristine shell-covered islands. One of the most appealing aspects is how the captains make everything feel relaxed and fun rather than overly structured. Hannah also gets special mention for surf lessons that had kids standing on boards within minutes. Nobody mentioned any disappointments or issues in these reviews, which is rare. Whether you're looking for a few hours on the water or a longer adventure, this outfit seems to deliver exactly what families visiting Hilton Head are hoping for, creating those "core memory" experiences that kids won't stop talking about long after vacation ends.

    We had an amazing day on the water with Native Son Adventures and Captain Will! From shark tooth hunting on Pinckney Island to finding beautiful conch shells on “Shell Island,” every moment was unforgettable. We saw so many dolphins, and it was awesome to see how excited Captain Will was—he clearly loves what he does. He was calm, laid-back, and genuinely made the trip feel special. Lunch on Daufuskie Island was a great addition, and on the way back, we had the incredible experience of watching dolphins feed. Captain Will took his time, followed them, and shared so much cool info—never in a rush, just enjoying the moment with us. We’ll definitely be back for another adventure with him. Highly recommend!
