About this tour

Explore Hilton Head’s waterways on a 90-minute dolphin tour departing from Broad Creek Marina. Aboard a comfortable custom tour boat, cruise through Broad Creek, a lively Lowcountry ecosystem where bottlenose dolphins and a variety of birds may appear.

Along the way, take in views of Harbour Town Lighthouse, Daufuskie Island, Buck Island, Bull Island, and Hilton Head from the water. The changing route makes each outing a chance to experience the coast from a fresh perspective, with the captain seeking out areas where wildlife is more likely to be seen.

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 6.7.
