The water is no longer wide😎
The boat is open-air so pick a season with nice weather. The boat ride was wonderful and Captain Andy is very knowledgeable and has a lot of interesting information.. This tour is not looking at fancy homes but exploring the history of the island. I had always wanted to see the old school house ever since reading THE WATER IS WIDE. And our group really enjoyed the indigo ladies.

Horse drawn, carriage ride
We absolutely loved our horse-drawn carriage ride in Beaufort, South Carolina! Our horse, Walter, was wonderful, and the entire experience was both relaxing and enjoyable. The tour was very informative, and we learned so much about Beaufort’s history, beautiful homes, and charming streets. It was such a lovely way to see the town and appreciate all its beauty and history. I would highly recommend this carriage ride to anyone visiting Beaufort. It’s a must-do experience!

Great Sailing Trip!
We had a great time sailing. The weather was perfect. Once we got out in the open water, crew members were asking for volunteers to manage the jib and also steer the boat. My husband volunteered for both, and I could see how happy he was.
It was a great trip, and the captain and crew were awesome!

Change-Up Friday
An unexpected day change in our cruise, not on our part- but by Vagabond at Sea Pines. Once we were asked on Friday to come Friday, I wish I had changed the Charleston carriage ride to Saturday, 10/31. We could have enjoyed Hilton Head island beach area on a warmer day Friday & also not hurried our visit to Charleston. We got there, took the ride, & headed back to HHI - we thought. It was Sea Pines & a $10 charge just to drive onto the property. Didn't realize that the cruise & HHI were not in the same area. The extra driving on 2 days, plus sacrificing our day in Charleston was nerve-wracking and disappointing.

Excellent tour!
The experience was A+! Our guide & driver, Heather, has an excellent, deep knowledge of Beaufort’s history. Her enthusiasm for Beaufort was heartfelt and made history come alive. Her reverence for those interned in the National Cemetery was especially moving and interesting.

A fantastic day learning trip
We had a very organized day-long learning trip through the intercostal waterway to Savannah. We had booked the trip through Viator, a platform we’ve consistently used for both national and international travel. We’ve been thoroughly satisfied with Viator’s services and haven’t encountered any issues since our first experience.

You won’t regret it!!😊
This was AMAZING! We weren’t even out of the harbor and we started spotting dolphins! And we continued to see
them throughout the cruise! Cannot recommend enough..it was AMAZING! The crew members were so kind and knowledgeable about dolphins as well as the entire area!
It was my sisters first time seeing dolphins in the wild and she said it was the best experience!!

Loved the Shrimp Boat Tammy Jane
We had a wonderful time on the shrimp trawler excursion! It was both educational and relaxing, giving us a unique opportunity to learn about shrimping, the local marine life, and the process of bringing in a catch. Capt Ian, Kelly and Bradley made the experience interesting & enjoyable, and we appreciated getting to see something new together. It was a perfect combination of learning, sightseeing, and spending quality time together. We would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!

So many dolphins - it was magical!
Captain Sarah and First Mate Ray-Ray took us out on a wonderful cruise to see the dolphins and we lucked out! The weather was hot and sunny and we saw so many dolphins, swimming and playing ... it was absolutely magical! We learned a lot about them too! Great music on the boat (the boat was covered but we still wore sun hats.) We'd highly recommend this tour.

Worth every dollar!
The captain and his crew were fantastic! They were very informative. Highly educational a great adventure. I would highly recommend. We definitely saw dolphin and he tracked them along the way. We also learned so much about the other neighboring islands!

Beaufort golf cart tour
Rick was a very knowledgeable tour guide! The information as we drove around included both historical and movie facts for the entire area. We arrived early and he got us started as the sky looked like possible future rain… and he even brought ponchos for everyone just in case! Would highly recommend this!

Girls Trip 2026
I had a very good experience and we saw plenty of dolphins. Dan was a great captain full of information & history. It is important for other patrons to be mindful of the departure. We arrived back to the Marina a few minutes late & it almost caused us to miss the last trolley back to the hotel.

Explore this 42-square-mile (108-square-kilometer) barrier island, long prized as a vacation getaway with a rich history. On these Hilton Head Island tours, you can kick back while trawling for shrimp, spotting dolphins (and maybe even a mermaid), soaring through the skies on a parasail, or heading out on a pirate ship. Back on dry land, take a horse-drawn carriage ride, or tour historic Beaufort (a Hollywood filmmaking gem) on a golf cart or minibus.
