90-Minute Private Dolphin Tour in Hilton Head Island in Hilton Head Island booking from $299.00

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.

Another great sunset dolphin cruise with Captain Mark! It’s so nice to have the boat to yourself and Capt Mark is well educated about the local area. We saw a number of dolphin up close and enjoyed the gorgeous setting. We will be back!

This was a highlight of our trip to Hilton Head! Captain Mark took us on a clean updated boat on a private dolphin tour. He narrated the tour with insightful information about the area. We saw so many dolphins and enjoyed watching them up close! He ended our trip exploring shells which the kids all loved! A definite must take tour!

The 90-minute dolphin tour was amazing. We took the family for our daughter's 6th birthday. The weather was cold and drizzly, but even the poor weather didn't take away from how great the tour was. Captain Mark was fun and knowledgeable about the area and the animals. We saw several dolphins and Mark pulled up a crab trap with a snow crab for the kids to see and learn about. We will definitely book this next time we're in Hilton Head!
