90-Minute Private Dolphin Tour in Hilton Head Island

Overview
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.

While on the Sound you’ll have a chance to glimpse other creatures that call the lowcountry home; mobula rays jumping out of the water, spinner sharks breaching the surface, sea turtles coming up for a breath of air. Hundreds of species of birds that make their way through their migratory periods.

Captain Mark is on it!! He texted with instructions on where to park, weather conditions, what to wear, etc. the day before and was open to any questions we had. The tour was amazing. So relaxing and he is very knowledgeable about Hilton Head and the surrounding areas. He gave recommendations for the rest of our trip and we found dolphin that he knows! We saw a dolphin hunting, a family of dolphin resting, and then a group playing in the waves. It was truly a highlight of our trip! We will be back!

Awesome guide! Personable, very knowledgeable and superbly professional! Small groups (just 4 of us) work out best. Highly recommended!
