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!

Family had a great time on the kayaks. Guide was very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw. Definitely an activity we would do again.
Robert our guide was very informative, friendly and we enjoyed learning so much about the Hilton Head areas
Great experience and knowledgeable guide. Wouks like to highly recommend having a ladder that hangs off the deck so people can get out of the water better. Many of us struggled and the deck was burning hot. Recommend a portable carpet that can be thrown down.
We saw a lot of dolphins up close to our kayaks. It was amazing to view them in such close proximity. Learned a lot of interesting facts about the dolphins and their habitat. Would definitely recommend.
Kayaking around the river and marshes was super fun. It took a but to see the dolphins but once we did it was awesome! There's a ton of wildlife around the area, especially birds.
We had a great time and going first thing in the morning (8am) was optimal for seeing birds and dolphins. Our guide, Mike, was great and knowledgeable. Water was calm and great for new and experienced kayakers. Arrive 30 minutes early, we missed this detail, sorry Mike!
Very good experience, finally saw the Dolphins ,tour guide was very good explaining birds & sea creatures .
This was an amazing experience for our girls trip. Our guide, Mike, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and paced the trip for all kayaking levels and abilities. The added bonus was the three dolphin sightings. Highly recommend.
Peaceful experience with a knowledgeable guide. Saw lots of dolphins and beautiful birds. Highly recommend!
Our guide was very pleasant and gave us a wealth of information regarding the area we were kayaking through. I am giving it a four or maybe a three because the tour description says two hours and we were heading back to the dock after an hour and a half. That includes getting signed in, getting our equipment, listening to the directions and lastly getting into our kayaks. All of the "beginning" stuff took 15-20 minutes. I think the description should let the participants know the time frame. The cost should reflect the time.
