Guaranteed dolphins! This is your private boat taking you on an intimate tour to see dolphins in the wild, up close and personal! We go to places the big boats can't or won't. It'll be just your group (up to 6 passengers) cruising the waters, watching dolphins eating, playing, and socializing. As a Lowcountry Master Naturalist, your Captain will provide an in-depth narration of the ecology around you detailing what makes Hilton Head so unique. You’ll get all the time you need to see these beautiful creatures as they spend their days cruising the Calibogue Sound. See Hilton Head’s storied landmark, the Harbourtown Lighthouse from the water. Cross over to the other side of the Sound and see Daufuskie Island. You'll have a chance to see other creatures that call the Lowcountry home; mobula rays jumping, sharks and manatees making cameos, sea turtles coming up for a breath of air. Hundreds of species of birds that make their way through their migratory periods.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to go on the dolphin tour?

A: There's no strict age limit! Kids of all ages can enjoy the dolphin tour as long as they're supervised by an adult. Just make sure they’re comfortable on a boat! It's a great way to introduce younger kids to marine life in a fun setting.

Q: What should we wear for the dolphin tour? Is it cold on the water?

A: Dress in layers! It can get a bit chilly out there, especially if you're out in the evening. A light jacket or hoodie works well. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen, too! You may also want to wear flip-flops or water shoes for easy on and off.

Q: How's the parking situation at the dock for the dolphin tour?

A: Parking is pretty straightforward at the dock! There's a lot available, but it can fill up quickly during peak season. I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to secure a spot, especially during weekends when it’s busy.

Just got back from the dolphin tour and it was AMAZING!

I went on the private dolphin tour at Hilton Head and it was honestly one of the best experiences ever! Our captain was super knowledgeable and we saw so many dolphins up close. We even spotted a few manatees! If you're thinking about this as a gift, go for it. It’s perfect for families or anyone who loves nature. Just a heads up, bring your camera—you'll want to capture every moment!

Thinking of gifting this dolphin tour, any pros or cons?

I'm considering getting the private dolphin tour for my sister's family for their vacation. It sounds super fun, but what are the downsides? Like, what if the weather doesn't cooperate? I want to make sure it’s a solid gift. Help me out!
