Highlights: Lowcountry Watersports is the ONLY company offering this unique tour! Experience the fun of driving your own Mini-Boat as you follow our trained guides! Hands down the best boat tour on Hilton Head and you will see more dolphins and more sights than on any other tour offered.

We start off with a slow cruise out the Broad Creek also known as Dolphin Alley! This is where we see a lot of our local celebrity dolphins, such as Moochie, Pickles, Lucky, and Frank. By the time we reach the sound, you should have mastered the art of driving your Mini-Boat and now we hit the gas to cover some ground.

On a typical tour, we’ll stop by the Harbour Town Lighthouse, cruise across to Daufuskie and see Haig Point, and then set off for marshes where you have a chance to see strand feeding, oyster farms, rays, and pretty much any kind of wildlife there is to see on Hilton Head.
