For nearly 25 years Kayak Hilton Head has shared your excitement for encountering Hilton Head’s bottlenose dolphins on our beginner friendly kayaking adventures. While these fascinating creatures are wild and free to roam, our Kayaking and Dolphin Nature Tours provide a wonderful opportunity to paddle side by side with them while enjoying their playful behavior.
The Broad Creek Estuary is one of their favorite places to feed and play and our tours are unique in that we are the only Hilton Head company departing directing into this favored feeding grounds.
Location, location, location!
Set in the heart of Hilton Head Island, our prime location within the Broad Creek Estuary grants us unparalleled access to the dolphins’ natural habitat. In the warmer months manatee are often seen relaxing in this calm estuary as well! As we embark on our kayaking journey, we explore the beautiful estuary that these and many other magnificent creatures call home. The estuary is a protected body of water so generally the waters are very calm making for an enjoyable experience for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Our experienced guides are fun and full of interesting stories as they lead you through the most dolphin friendly areas, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your family.
Explore breathtaking scenery, paddle through serene estuaries, and keep your eyes peeled for the presence of dolphins, manatee, otter, herons, egrets, osprey, bald eagles and maybe ever the occasional sea turtle! For nearly 25 years our team has provided a safe, enjoyable, and truly memorable experience. COME JOIN THE FUN!
Discover the Best Times
for Dolphin Sightings
While dolphin sightings are highly likely during any of our tour times, we understand your desire for the optimal experience. Feel free to give us a call to discuss the best times of the day to spot these wonderful creatures. Yes, dolphins live here year round!
Just a hint if you don’t feel like calling…. for most of the year the first tour of the day tends to be my favorite. It’s not as hot, the water tends to be at its calmest, it’s the least likely time of the day to rain, AND the dolphins seem to enjoy this time of the day too! But again, dolphin encounters are highly likely during any of our tour times and more days than not, we see dolphins on every tour we do!
People routinely tell us that our tour was the highlight of their vacation. Dolphins tend to have this affect on us all! 🙂 Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience!
Discover the Marvels of Hilton Head’s Marine Life with Kayak Hilton Head
Over the years, we’ve developed a special connection with the fascinating dolphins that call this estuary home. We’ve even named a few of our favorites like Blackbeard, Nick, Gary, Big Bob, Lefty and “Little Baby” Stripes. And there’s so many other cool things to see! Maybe a manatee, otter or bald eagle!
Sitting in a kayak with dolphins swimming just feet away truly is an unforgettable experience and Kayak Hilton Head would love to share this experience with you!
Hilton Head’s Fascinating Wildlife
While dolphins steal the spotlight, there’s an array of captivating wildlife that we often see. Manatee in the warmer months, the occasional otter or mink, maybe a sea turtle when we’re really lucky. There is also beautiful birdlife. The graceful egrets, herons, and ibis, as well as the strikingly beautiful pink roseate spoonbill are among the many species of shorebirds that frequent the area. A bald eagle, osprey or pelican diving to the water to catch their dinner and of course an estuary full of blue and stone crabs, jumping shrimp, many species of fish, stingrays and the ever interesting spitting oysters.
Every paddle is different and brings the opportunity to witness the natural wonders of Hilton Head Island. The photo opportunities are endless so don’t miss out! Book online or call today!

Meet Wildlife On Your Tours
Create Astounding Memories
Bottlenose dolphins are very intelligent creatures that often enjoy seeing us just as much as we enjoy seeing them. Probably the world’s most famous bottlenose dolphin is “Flipper” and though “Flipper” does not reside with us here in Hilton Head we do have “Blackbeard”, “Nick”, “Choppy”, “Big Bob” and “Little baby Stripes” just to name a few! These friendly dolphins feed and play in the area where we kayak almost every day of the year.
There are many other interesting and fun things to see on our Hilton Head kayak tours. As well as the dolphins, bird life and the occasional manatee, you’ll also enjoy learning about the “spitting” beds of oysters that grow along the shoreline at low tide and the jumping shrimp and fish that get chased by the many species of shorebirds trying to catch them for their dinner. This truly is an experience that everyone and all ages will enjoy!
Kayaking Is The Perfect Way To Explore HHI
Kayaking offers an exciting yet peaceful way to explore the island, giving insight into the local wildlife, the vast shoreline, and the incredible scenery not to mention our local tips on other things to do and the best restaurants to enjoy!

Kayak Hilton Head provides experienced guides who will ensure your safety and provide lessons for beginners.
