Dolphin Tours on Hilton Head Island

Hilton Head Island is home to one of the largest and most active populations of wild bottlenose dolphins on the entire East Coast. These intelligent, playful animals live year-round in the tidal creeks, marshes, and open waterways surrounding the island — and a guided dolphin tour is the best way to see them up close in their natural habitat.

Our Hilton Head dolphin tours depart from the island’s waterfront marinas and cruise through the spectacular Lowcountry landscape of Skull Creek and Port Royal Sound. Expert naturalist guides share fascinating insights about dolphin behavior, local marine life, and the unique ecology of the South Carolina Sea Islands. With multiple tour options available — including the classic 1.5-hour Dolphin Tour, the unforgettable Sunset & Fireworks Dolphin Tour, the self-guided Mini Boat Dolphin Tour (ages 21+), and the Disappearing Island Dolphin Tour — there is a perfect experience for every group, from young families to adults looking for a unique evening on the water.

All tours are all-ages and guaranteed dolphin sightings are included. Spaces fill fast, especially during summer — book your Hilton Head dolphin tour below.
