Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
Wear clothing that would be comfortable for a walk on the beach. Choose closed-toe shoes since you will ride in golf carts along unpaved roads.

This activity departs from Shelter Cove Marina. We are located at the southwest corner of the marina next to the Ship Store and Ela's Grille.
This operation stands out for its exceptional guides who truly know their stuff. Travelers consistently praise captains like Pete, Kelly, Dan, and Dean for their deep knowledge of local history, marine life, and the Gullah community. The guides don't just drive boats or lead tours—they actively search for dolphins, share fascinating facts about the marshland ecosystem, and make every outing feel personalized and engaging. The variety of experiences impresses visitors too. You can choose from dolphin tours, kayaking excursions through the marsh, eBike adventures, or historic trips to Daufuskie Island. Reviewers mention spotting tons of dolphins up close, catching gorgeous sunsets, and learning about everything from feeding behaviors to local flora and fauna. Multiple families with young children had wonderful experiences, with guides like CT providing appropriately sized equipment and keeping kids entertained. What really shines through is how genuinely friendly and caring these guides are—people specifically request them by name and remember their tours as trip highlights.
Had a great paddle in Hilton Head. Our guide Michael, was very knowledgeable, very patient, and very friendly. Can’t wait to go again!
