What to Expect on Your Dolphin & Nature Tour

Up-Close Encounters with Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins

Hilton Head Island is home to a thriving population of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and we know the best times and tides to find them. Watch as they swim alongside the boat, breach for air, and play in our wake. It’s a truly magical experience, especially for kids and first-timers.
