About this tour

Take the helm on a Hilton Head Island Creek Cat Eco Tour and skim through the island’s waterways with a professional guide leading the way. These compact boats, powered by 30HP motors, bring a lively, hands-on feel to a two-hour outing.

Follow your guide toward Harbour Town and its landmark lighthouse, with visits to places such as Daufuskie Island along the route. As you cruise, hear stories about local history and the coastal ecosystem. Keep watch for egrets, eagles, ospreys, otters, and, when conditions allow, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Each boat holds up to two people, so you can share the ride with a companion while enjoying complimentary bottled water.

Arrive 20 minutes before departure and check in by the Lowcountry Watersports flag near the marina. Book your Hilton Head Island Creek Cat Eco Tour for an energetic way to explore the coast and spot its wildlife.

How the score works and rating distribution in Hilton Head Island
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
