Hilton Head Sunrise Dolphin Tour
Overview
Experience the magic of the Lowcountry as the first light of dawn kisses the tranquil waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. Our Sunrise Dolphin Tour offers a serene and unforgettable journey through the heart of the island’s breathtaking marshlands and coastal waterways.
As the sun rises over the horizon, you’ll glide through calm waters rich with wildlife. The Lowcountry comes alive in the morning light, and you’ll have the chance to witness dolphins gracefully playing in their natural habitat. These beautiful creatures are most active at sunrise, offering plenty of opportunities for close-up sightings and unforgettable memories.
Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the island’s ecosystem, local history, and the dolphins that call these waters home. Along the way, you’ll encounter the region’s iconic salt marshes, towering live oaks draped with Spanish moss, and an abundance of birdlife such as herons, egrets, and osprey.
