Overall enjoyable trip. We were shown how to use skiffs and off to sea. Led by knowledgeable and entertaining Duncan, it was quite an adventure for my partner and I. I’ve never driven any watercraft before (and have a hard time using a single handled water faucet) but got used to navigating the skiff fairly quickly. We saw some dolphins and cannonball jellyfish. Heard local history of the islands that we drove around. Speed thrill seekers will love driving the skiffs. The other folks in our group were all over age 50, so I think anyone would enjoy this trip.

Our guide Matt was excellent — very easy going. Driving these 30hp outboard motor boats (skiffs) for 3 hours was a complete blast!!! Worth every penny of the price (or alternatively — every minute of a time-share sales presentation). Better read their suggestions, such as dress for getting splashed.

What an adventure! If you love small group Eco Tours, this is for you. Our guide, Joey, was a wealth of knowledge. We were hit with a tropical storm at the start of the tour. Our guides reversed the itinerary so that we ended up behind the storm. So glad they did. We saw two local pink bellied dolphins jump in front of us. Wish we had seen more dolphins but they are wild animals and there are no guarantees. We did see an eagle, herons, pelicans, and small jumping fish. It was so much fun. Our 18yo drop one skiff with her 16yo sister. Hubbie drove us.
Highly recommend.

You wake up at 7am while on vacation, check out etc to make sure you are there on time 815am; to only get a call AT 8:15 am that the guide “lost his car keys.” No other guides? Owner can’t operate the route? Guide can’t Uber to the dock? He didn’t know he lost his keys prior to 8:15? Very poor management. Shouldn’t the guide be there at least by 8am which means he would know he lost his keys at minimum by 7:45am… ruined the whole day for us.

What a great tour! Tyler was so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly as our guide, helping us see dolphins and learn so much about the local wildlife and human history of the region as well. The boat was so much fun. The design of the boat is very stable, never felt uneasy, even when we went 100 mph. OK, not 100, but it feels like it as you skim across the water. We loved it! We have done two other water experiences from Hilton Head, both sail and large tour boat, but the skiffs and Tyler put this tour way over the top.

This skiff adventure made our whole trip! Our guide, James, was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly kind guy definitely doing what he loves. Not only did he get us super close to tons of dolphins he took pictures and videos for us during the day - we didn’t even have to ask.
Overall it was a 10/10 my husband hasn’t stopped talking about what a great time it was. This is a must do!

Jeff was our tour guide and he was professional full of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend doing the Island Skiff tour with your family when you come to Hilton Head. We had an outstanding experience and seeing the dolphins was the highlight. Thank you for the great outing.

We took a skiff tour with Captain Joe and had a blast! Yes, we got wet from the spray, but it was warm and so felt refreshing. We saw dolphins as well as other wildlife, explored the May River and other areas and it was so relaxing. Definitely try to plan for a non windy day if you can -- we adjusted our plans to go on the least windy day and the water was quite calm. Captain Joe knows a ton about the area and the wildlife and kept things engaging and interesting. Absolutely loved this tour.

It was the best thing we did !! Matt was our guide he was so nice funny and educated us in many things we didn’t know. The boats are so much fun and they only go top at 27 mph but you feel like your going 40 mph. We will definitely be back !! Thank you , The Snyder’s

This was a truly amazing experience! I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy outdoor recreation. Paul was our guide and he made the whole experience more enjoyable. The skiffs are easy to drive, stable, low in the water (from the seat, your foot can be dipped into the water), they have a sunshade, can go a relaxing, slow speed or fast for a fun ride. We saw dolphins, including a baby with its mother, beautiful white, egrets, taking flight, seagrass, and stunning homes along the shores, You’reon the water for about two hours. Lots of safety instructions before departing. Because you are two people per skiff, in open air seating, your are actually part of the environment rather than just viewing it. It was worth every penny and we tipped generously.

Hi! I have a 3 year old and would like to know which is the best tour we can see dolphins :)
Written September 14, 2020
Have you got seating available for 3? We have 2 adults and 4 kids in our group?
Written June 17, 2018
Skiffs will seat two people but the guide also has a free seat so that someone can ride with them
