2 Hour Kayak Hilton Head Dolphin and Nature Tour
Description
Our nature activities are a great way to experience Hilton Head Island by water. We get up close and personal with the salt marsh, oysters, and, by far, the vast number of our tours will see bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins are, of course, wild animals, so they come and go as they please. But in the summer months, the experiences run at nearly 90% seeing dolphins, and even in the off-season, the percentages are very high as the bottlenose dolphin population lives in the area year-round. We occasionally see manatees in the warmer months and, on occasion, get lucky and see a loggerhead turtle, mink, otter, or bald eagle. It's a great experience for all ages, and as Trip Advisor shows we have nearly all five stars and do our very best to show each and every guest a great time over the last 25 years! All ages are welcome, as generally, we will do our best to split into multiple groups based on groups with or without kids, as well as different experience levels. Come join the fun!

This was a super cool experience to do! Our guide was very informative and made it very fun. We seen several dolphins during our paddle. Would definitely do again and would recommend to others!
The kayaking trip was lots of fun filled with dolphin sightings.
Our family had a lot of fun, saw dolphins, learned about wildlife in the area. Our tour guide, Mike made our kayaking experience a great one!
Thanks so much for spending part of your July 4th week with us! Dolphins are an almost every time thing but still we're always glad to read reviews saying "lots of fun, saw dolphins......"! We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and hope to see you again on your next visit! Thanks as always for doing a great job with our guests Mike! Dave
Wonderful two hours on the water. Our guide, Daren, knew many facts about the birds and the dolphins. Excellent price for the adventure.
Thanks so much for joining us for a couple of hours on the water! Visitors to Hilton Head that don't do some sort of water activity really don't know what they are missing out on as so many that do come to realize it can be the best part of a vacation! The dolphins always make it special. We hope to see you again and we very much appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Happy 4th and enjoy the rest of your vacation! Dave
Conditions were windy and a bit choppy, so at the start we were working pretty hard. We saw coastal dolphins though and our guide Owen was knowledgeable and helpful.
Thanks for joining us Angela! Sorry, we did have abit of wind earlier in the week. The summer months are usually pretty still so most days we don't get that but I'm glad to read you worked hard and got to see dolphins while out there with us! Thanks to you too Owen for always doing a nice job with our guests! Happy 4th and thanks again! Dave
The kayak tour was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to see dolphins, manatees, and various sea birds. Owen, our tour guide, was very informative and so much fun!
Thanks Kerri! I'm always happy when I read "the kayak tour was exactly what we were looking for"! We certainly can't control the wildlife but we are very fortunate to be located in the dolphins favorite spot to feed and play and I'm also very glad you saw some manatees too! Dolphins we expect to see almost every time out there and this time of the year a couple of the guides tend to come across some manatees most days too! Both are so much fun to see while sitting at water level in a kayak! Thanks so much for joining us! Dave
Fun day on the water with family! Our guide was great, he tried to keep our group in the easier parts of the creek for paddling and pointed out interesting wildlife. We seen many dolphins, some very close to our kayaks! I would highly recommend this 2 hour tour for first-time kayakers.
Great experience, saw dolphins for an hour straight. The guide was friendly, informative, and very low stress.
Thanks so much for joining us! The dolphins seem to love the area that we kayak in which leads to a lot of fun for our customers! Thanks for taking the time to write a review! Dave
Saw a lot of dolphins but missed other things. Three groups set off at same time. We were last out but came back at same time. While other groups went into the salt marshes we did not. At one point guide was so far ahead of us we had no idea where he was, luckily we are experienced kayakers.
Thanks so much for joining us and I'm glad there were dolphins galore! If you don't mind please call or text me at 843-684-1910 to let me know who your guide was because that's very uncharacteristic of any of our guides and not a comment I ever hear so I want to correct that problem and I will make sure we do. Thanks again for joining us and we hope to see you again. And please let me know because it means a lot to me and I work hard to be sure all of our guests get the best experience possible. Dave
It was great!! Troy was a great guide 👌🏽 my family and I saw a few dolphins, beautiful homes!! Great day in the water!!
Thanks so much for coming along on our tour! It's always great to get some time on the water here in Hilton Head and we very much appreciate you taking the time to tell others by writing a review! We hope to see you again on another visit to Hilton Head! Dave
