This might be our number one asked question and for good reason, we all love dolphins and want to see them. The good thing for you is that Hilton Head is home to several family pods that live here year around. They love to stick around the undeveloped areas that we travel around on our tours. Wild dolphins are spontaneous so there’s no way to guarantee them but its a very high likely you’ll cross paths on our tours!
-
Short answer is no. You cannot feed, touch or swim with wild dolphins. It is considered illegal and harrasment which carries a stiff penalty of up to $20,000 and a year in prison. You may find they are curious and friendly but please keep you distance and only take photos.

Please remember to bring your wallet with your ID on the tour. Your boat is equipped with a storage compartment to accommodate your essentials. Please keep your carry-ons to a minimum, as storage space is limited to a 6inch by 6inch by 2 foot long bin. We provide a six-pack cooler with water/ice, and you may bring snacks if you wish.

Service dogs of any kind are not allowed on our tours due to our insurance. If you have any medical conditions that you are concerned with you should consult your physician for his or her professional advice before the boat tour. All guests must be able to get on and off the boat unassisted.
