The 1 hour tour allows for a shorter outing if you wish to spend less time on the water. Due to the time constraint, we head out for the first half of the trip then retrace our path back home. We don't think you'll find a better 1 Hour Dolphin Tour on a comparable boat.

Why? Among the answers is that we have something that others just can't compete with: The Perfect Location. Due to our prime location on Hilton Head Island's Skull Creek, we have a level of dolphin activity and year round local dolphin population that is unparalleled. For this reason, we are able to offer a Dolphin Guarantee* on all boat-based Dolphin Nature Tours!

The 1 Hour Dolphin Tour / Nature Cruise is a great way to see our local waterways and other creatures such as egrets, herons, osprey, and more. This eco tour is led by an educated interpretive naturalist and US Coast Guard licensed captain.
The 2 Hour Dolphin Wildlife Refuge Tour™ allows us much more time, enough to circumnavigate the largest island in the Wildlife Refuge, minimizing backtracking. Therefore we tend to see 3-4 times more area on the 2 hour trip than we do on the 1 hour. Don't worry, we do expect to see dolphin even on the shorter program. In fact, we offer a Dolphin Guarantee.

If you’re looking for a happy medium, we have a 1½ Hour Dolphin Adventure™ Tour. It provides more exploration time but still in a comfortable timeframe for shorter attention spans.
  •   1 HOUR
    Short but sweet!
  •   ALL AGES
    This trip is available for All Ages of participants.

    Children must be accompanied by an adult.

    In our experience, 1 hour is plenty of time to get out and see dolphin and best matches the attention span of our youngest guests.
  •   BACKCOUNTRY
    The Backcountry includes the inshore waterways like tidal creeks, marshes, rivers & sounds. These are typically calmer water excursions, where you don't have to worry about your "sea legs". Crossing the Hilton Head Bridge from the mainland gives a great view of some of the backcountry waters we explore.
  •   ALL YEAR
    This trip is offered year-round, as long as weather cooperates.
  •   FROM $228
    From $350 for an SUV Deck™ Boat private charter up to 6 guests.

    Includes Boat, Fuel, and your Guide (a USCG-licensed captain)

    Due to fuel volatility, current rates are confirmed on our reservation site via the "Book Now" link. We try to keep this data current.
