Mini Boat Dolphin Tour

Steer your own mini boat through the creeks and find dolphins along the way

The Mini Boat Tour is already one of the most fun things you can do on Hilton Head — and the fact that you'll almost certainly see dolphins along the way makes it even better. You're in your own small boat, following a guide through the creeks and waterways around the island, and the dolphins that live in these waters are completely used to boats. They surface right alongside you, sometimes close enough to touch.

Unlike a traditional dolphin cruise where you're a passenger, on a Mini Boat Tour you're the captain. You steer your own boat, set your own pace within the guided route, and get the full experience of being out on the Lowcountry waterways under your own power. It's a completely different feeling.

The tour is guided, so you won't get lost, and no boating experience is required. The mini boats are easy to operate and stable enough for all ages. This is one of the most popular tours Lowcountry Watersports offers — book early.
