About your Beachcombing and Dolphin Nature Tour:

  • With around 45 minutes or so of off boat exploration time, we can explore islands and shoals only accessible by shallow craft. The famed "Vanishing Island" is actually a shoal or sandbar that only exposes itself twice daily at low tide.
  • We schedule these trips around the tide and sometimes tours can be very early in the morning or late in day. Please make sure to contact us ahead of time as some summer weeks can be busy and spots are limited. While exploring the beach we have found countless amounts of shells, conchs, whelks, devils purses, sand dollars, crabs, shark teeth, sea cucumbers, sea olives, sand fiddlers, mud snails, horseshoe crabs, sand hoppers, mole crabs. coquinas, and much much more.
  • The ecosystem that surrounds Hilton Head Island is Pristine and this laid back boat ride is the best way to see it all. Explore uncharted waters in a custom designed skiff with one the most experienced guides on the Coast. Called the "Highlight of our Vacation to Hilton Head" for a reason, Your signature private tour awaits.
