Great value to got to Daufuski Island
Thank you Matt for helping us to understand the area a little better. Your passion for boat life shows. The areas of Daufuskie you recommended we fun to explore. Bloody Point Lighthouse/Musuem(cold, cold beverage and fun, local purchases. Melrose Plantation- interesting history of the resort. Wildlife in abundance-Grand Egrets(pretty sure), deer, raccoons, rabbits. Haig public boat launch. We just kept driving around on the golf cart. Yes, we got lost but it was fun to see how the few locals live. So glad we went. Got to see dolphins and prescribed burn on Bull Island, Harbor Town on way back. Matt is knowledgeable and nice. Well done to the Captain too. Great day.

Scenic Paddle, Stellar Guide, Time for New Boards
Great location. Easy parking. Sweet guide (Thanks Riley!) Saw cool wildlife — egrets, dolphins, herons, and pelicans. They need to upgrade their paddle boards, though. Mine had a small chunk off the top and was missing its leash. Get new ones with bungee cords. And consider smaller life jackets. But overall, great hour on the water.

Paddleboarding tour
Great tour and great guides. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the water was amay.

Amazing experience to see the island from the water!
Always a bonus when you can paddle with a dolphin! And in warmer weather than Cleveland, OH. Located on an amazing and peaceful side of the island. I strongly recommend Island Head for the experience, convenience and the price! I WILL be back.

Best Paddle boarding on the island.
Just finished a 2nd paddle board tour with Island tours of Hilton Head and it was just as fun as it was the first time. Great service, awesome water, great location, easy parking and amazing employees. A definite must do while you're visiting Hilton Head Island.

Grumpy "guide"
I was very disappointed in this experience. Our guide was over 30 minutes late, and then either complained or didn't talk to us at all (and we were the only ones on the tour. There was no "guiding" and he clearly didn't want to be out. We also returned 15 minutes early! The location was not as nice as other areas of the island. The only saving grace was that we saw some dolphins. But even that didn't seem to impress our grumpy guide who just shrugged and said they were common. There are plenty of other boat rental opportunities on the island to try. I would avoid this one. Incredibly overpriced for the experience.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize that your experience fell short of expectations. A late and disengaged guide is not acceptable, and we’re addressing this directly with our team. We’re glad you were able to see dolphins, but we understand that the overall experience matters most. Your comments are being taken seriously as we work to improve our service.

Great time!
Will was great! It ended up being a small tour with only myself and my boyfriend. He was very knowledgeable and we had an awesome time.

Perfection!
My kids (13 and 16) and myself had a wonderful experience. It was our first paddle board experience and our guide Will was great with nerves and direction. He was knowledgeable about the area and invested in giving us a positive tour. We got to see dolphins and we’re surrounded by a pod. Amazing!
