Our guides will be there with you to give you the best opportunities to see the resident dolphins that live right here in the estuary that we explore! This is their home and they spend most everyday right here feeding, playing, and raising their young. Maybe see a manatee, bald eagle, or otter! There’s lots of cool birds as well as other interesting wildlife. You’ll learn fun facts about all these creatures along with many other fun things you can do for the rest of your vacation here on Hilton Head. If you have some experience and you prefer to do it on your own, Kayak Rentals are also available. You can turn it into a self guided tour and we will happily give you advice on the best routes to follow as well as fill you in on the dolphins favorite places to feed and play along these suggested routes. (If you are a corporate group, school group or family reunion give us a call for group kayaking information!)
