Up Close with Hilton Head’s Favorite Locals

TIME TO MEET OUR FAVORITE LOCALS — THE DOLPHINS
From world-class golf courses to scenic beaches and trails, Hilton Head has been a long time favorite for families, couples, and travelers. While many stick to the paths of shopping, dining, and relaxing poolside, some of the island’s best experiences happen out on the water.
Sure, you can spot a dolphin from the shoreline if you’re lucky — but there’s something entirely different about getting up close from a boat, with nothing but a breeze between you and the sea. That’s where Island Head’s Dolphin Tours come in.
DAYTIME DOLPHIN TOURS
Island Head’s Day Dolphin Tours are the perfect way to take a break from the beach and connect with nature. These laid-back cruises through the lowcountry waters offer a chance to spot wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins as they swim, feed, and play just feet from the boat.
These aren’t just lucky sightings either — our experienced captains know the local waterways inside and out, so your odds of seeing dolphins are more than just hopeful. Along the way, you’ll also catch a glimpse of scenic marshlands, birdlife, and maybe even a sea turtle or two. Whether you’re with the family or a group of friends, it’s a simple and fun way to spend a few hours soaking in the sun on the water.
SUNSET CELEBRATION DOLPHIN CRUISE
Looking for something a little more mellow — maybe even romantic? The Sunset Celebration Dolphin Cruise might be exactly what you didn’t know your trip needed. Picture this: dolphins skimming the water as the sun sets… you might want to stay out there forever.
It’s the kind of evening that slows everything down — perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking to experience the peaceful side of the island. Bring a drink, kick back, and enjoy the show.
FAMILY-FRIENDLY, AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ADVENTURE
Like all of Island Head’s experiences, the dolphin tours are run by friendly, knowledgeable captains and crew who know how to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The boats are clean, and stable with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ride.
Whether you’ve visited Hilton Head ten times or it’s your first time on the island, a dolphin tour is something that never gets old. And if you’ve never seen dolphins up close before? Even better.
