Hilton Head Shrimp Trawling Boat Cruise

Gilbert_S, Oct 2026

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!

2 Hour Kayak Hilton Head Dolphin and Nature Tour

EMMANUELLE_G, Oct 2026

This tour was great. 2...

This tour was great. 2 hours of kayaking in calm waters with birds watching (heron and cormoran). We followed a dolphin that seemed to like us and kept circling around our crew of 10. Easy going in the kayak. Can work for any kayak experiences. I did take photos myself, more keen to enjoy with mt own eyes this experience for once but a lot of people from my group had plenty of time to take photos of the dolphins and even film and live chat with their family to see the dolphin. Thanks for this great kayaking tour.

Daufuskie Island Guided History Tour from Hilton Head

Betsy_K, Oct 2026

An informative tour

You’ll learn about the history of the island, which is very interesting. Dean, our captain and tour guide, was amazing. Very knowledgable & personable. Due to the length of the tour, you’ll only see a portion of the island. What you do see is interesting and gives you a sense of how people lived in the past, and a view of how normal people live there today. You will not see the HOA communities. Dean did stop during the boat ride over so we could see dolphins. He also shared facts about Hilton Head and the surrounding islands.

Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise

Erin_K, Oct 2026

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.

Historic Golf Cart Tour in Beaufort, SC

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!
