Nervous about trying Island Skiff?Try out our other option at Hilton Head Speedboat Tours. This dolphin tour and guided route is exactly the same as the skiffs but you’re in a more traditional style boat that tends to be a dryer and smoother ride. Also, this boat tours weight limit is not a per person limit like skiffs but instead a total weight limit of 500 pounds. Come check us out today!
Island Skiff Trip Highlights
We are located at Broad Creek Marina on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and offer an exciting guided boat tour of the area. We explore 25 plus miles of undeveloped marshes to bring you where the dolphin pods live and feed in the shallow creeks. You will drive a two-person catamaran and enjoy over two hours of skiffing calm creeks and spotting a variety of wildlife along the way, like dolphins, eagles, and more. You won’t regret it!

Excellent! The skiffs are fast and fun. Easy to maneuver. Ran high tide marsh channels in search of dolphins. Found several and up close. Swam up to us and under our boats. Really special. Included a mom and two babies. The guide was great. Knowledgeable and funny. He knew exactly where to take us. Highly recommended.

This tour was easily the best part of my trip to Hilton Head Island. We saw dolphins at a few different spots, and our tour guide, Duncan was knowledgable with the different kinds of wildlife that inhabit the area. The boats were awesome and it was super cool being just off the water for a unique experience. Thank you again from "Team Toronto"!

We thoroughly enjoyed the speed a little boats! Hold onto your hat and expect to get splashed. We saw dolphins, but after disembarking, there was a dolphin pat the pier providing a much better view! Would highly recommend this. We will repeat next visit. Look at Groupon for a deal or call ahead if you have a large group.

What a fun way to get out on the water. We had an incredible encounter with some dolphins I was sad we had to leave. We had to keep on time. I could have spent the entire day with the dolphins. It never gets old for me. He also took us to harbor town and took our photos in front of the lighthouse. I wish we were able to get more photos on the water too.

Jeff did a great job. You can really tell that he takes great pride in what he does. Saw lots of dolphins and driving the boat was a blast.
