Hilton Head Vanishing Island & Beachcombing Cruise

We were 6 family members all enjoyed the boat ride and Vanishing Island Experience ! Captain Dan was fun and included history of the Island and information about the Dolphins !

We had a great day with Captain Grant Saltzer on our trip to shark took island! We found 178 shark teeth! Lots of wildlife too. Dolphins, birds and even a Bald Eagle! Beautiful day on the water and our Captain was so great!

Excellent experience. Great host. Definitely recommend. Seeing all the dolphins was an added bonus. Will do again.

We cruised out at 6:00 and caught a beautiful sunrise, and saw dolphins both on our way to the island and on the way back to the marina. We saw so much wildlife on the island and the hour they give to explore is just about the perfect amount of time. Captain Dan and his first mate CT were funny and friendly and definitely added the experience. We loved this tour, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Hilton Head. (We actually did it on a visit in 2022, and loved it so much we did it again!)

This was a wonderful experience. Captain Dan and Patrick with first mate Champ (retriever) made this day one to remember. We so enjoyed walking the sand bar finding star fish - hermit crabs!!! I’d recommend this tour to anyone - especially if you have kids.

The 3-hour private beach-combing tour for us 4 friends was absolutely outstanding! Captain Kelly was personable and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the opportunity to explore the shoals because of a negative tide. The boat was clean and comfortable. 3-hours flew by as we enjoyed the sun, the breeze, and the dolphins!!

My husband, college-age daughter and I took the 3:30pm boat with Captain Sebastian to Daufuskie Island for Beachcombing. It was a wonderful experience! Our captain was knowledge about all the nature we encountered and answered our questions thoroughly. The beach on Daufuskie was peaceful and we were the only ones there that time of day. We were lucky enough to encounter countless dolphins and enjoyed the sunset ride back to Hilton Head. There were bottles of water on ice for our use and we felt cared for. Thank you!

Great private boat trip with Captain Grant . We had a great time on the boat and on the island . My kids had a great time collecting shells and sand dollars. Highly recommend .

Did the Banishing Island Tour. Captain Dan was excellent. Great being on the water , then the Island . Captain Dan was very informative

A family of three plus a guest visiting Hilton Head for the first time, we took the Beachcomber Cruise. Our captain, Dean, was terrific! While the dolphins weren't quite as accommodating as we've seen on prior Outside Hilton Head cruises, Dean was careful to focus and point out the dolphins that we did see. He described an older dolphin he saw from time to time who actually appeared and looked up at us on the boat before disappearing under the water. Dean is extremely knowledge about history of the area as well as about the local environmental ecosystems. We learned about spartina grass that grows in coastal areas and about the benefits of oysters. He pointed out pelicans diving for lunch and told us how to identify which pelicans had gotten food and which had not. We learned a tremendous amount of history… We heard the legend of Maggie and the Haig Point Lighthouse, the history of the Gullah people (and shared a conversation about author, Pat Conroy), "scrap iron" (moonshine), the development of indigo and how it was traded with Europe, the history of the Yamasee War and Battle of Bloody Point. (And yes, we learned even more from Dean!) He took the boat ashore at Bloody point, and the two young women in our group found blue crabs, shells, and hermit crabs. This was fun and extremely.educational! We highly recommended it and would also recommend you ask for Captain Dean.
