1. Beachcombing Cruise

This three-hour boat cruise incorporates a two-hour Hilton Head dolphin tour with the bonus of getting off the boat onto a remote vanishing island. You and your family can search for shells, sand dollars, crabs, starfish, and the occasional shark’s tooth while on the vanishing island. Our USCG Captains will share interactive fun facts about the local tides and ecosystem along the way! The Beachcombing Cruise is the ultimate family adventure! Everyone, from grandparents to toddlers, will enjoy this unique excursion on the water. Lowcountry sandbars are only available to visit at low tide, so this trip leaves at different times each day depending on the tide.
