You drive your own mini boat on this amazing dolphin tour!

Once you board your Mini Boat, enjoy this guided tour around Hilton Head Island! Start by cruising Broad Creek, a beautiful waterway filled with pristine boats and houses! Next, you’ll pass by the famous Harbour Town Lighthouse; it’s known far and wide for its iconic red and white stripes! Cruise near Daufuskie Island, whose beautiful beaches, authentic lighthouse, and historic landmarks give this unique destination a timeless feel. Sail past Bull Island, an uninhabited stretch of land with quiet calm waterways! On this tour, you’ll learn more about the local area, wildlife, and ecosystem! We’ll see herons, egrets, pelicans, osprey and Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins native to Hilton Head! These boats are fun, super comfortable, safe, and above all easy to drive!

This was such a fun experience for our family! The boats went fast so you had some of the adrenaline of a speed boat! Our guides, Braydon and Kate were so nice! They showed us areas where Forrest Gump was filmed and told us about the history of the island while pointing out dolphins along the way. They even gave us time to take pictures of the dolphins and landmarks! If you do not get motion sickness on a speedboat, then I do not expect you to get it on the mini boats. Even the seven-year-old loved this and wished we could go again! I recommend booking quickly and ahead of time because they were sold out when we got there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
