Dolphin Tours

Join us for a Dolphin Wildlife Tour. This sightseeing nature cruise is a great way to see our local waterways and creatures such as Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, birdlife, and more. Our dolphin eco tour is led by an interpretive naturalist and US Coast Guard licensed captain. You will have the most comfortable view of the lowcountry wildlife and nature aboard the island's premier cruising vessels.

You'll be pleased to know that dolphin watching and a focus on nature are a part of just about every Live Oac adventure experience. Due to our prime location on Hilton Head Island's Skull Creek, we have a level of dolphin activity and year round local dolphin population that is unparalleled.

"Do you guarantee dolphin?" is a common question we are asked. As experienced nature guides we know that there is nothing guaranteed in nature... but we are so confident that we will see dolphin that we'll offer you a free tour if we don't.

Sign up individually on a Shared Trip, or charter the whole boat as a Private Trip.
Have you considered combining a dolphin watching trip with some exciting watersports, like Tubing, Wakeboarding or ZUP™Boarding. Because of our great location across from the Wildlife Refuge, we can customize a private outing to suit your needs. Check out our DolphinTubing™ Combo, one of our most popular things to do in Hilton Head for families.

Dolphin Guarantee:

We offer a "Dolphin Guarantee" on our 1 hour and 2 hour boat-based Dolphin Nature Tours. Thanks to our location and the excellent dolphin population around Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, we expect to see dolphin on all Dolphin Nature Tours. If we don't see dolphin, you will receive (at YOUR option) either a full refund, a free 2nd trip, or a time extension (if the schedule allows). This rarely ever happens but a handful of times a year. For our kayak tours, we see dolphin quite often, but just can't guarantee it like we do on or boat-based trips.
