Hilton Head Wildlife
As we cruise through Hilton Head’s inland waterways, you’ll also see a variety of local wildlife. We regularly see Osprey, Herons, Egrets, Pelicans, Cormorants, Oystercatchers, Bald Eagles and other sea birds.Spot Dolphins!
You might even see a bottlenose dolphin! These friendly mammals are known for leaping through the air, wowing our guests. Bottlenose dolphins swim near the shores of Hilton Head Island in the summer. They often come right up to the boat to say hi! If you’re lucky, they’ll visit us while we wait for the fireworks show. Federal laws prevent any feed or touching, but don’t forget to take a photo! Bottlenose dolphins are very social and live in groups of around 12. They communicate with noises like clicks, whistles and squeaks. As they’re mammals, they can’t breathe underwater, so they’re always hanging around near the surfaceHilton Head’s Glittering Harbours
Our Hilton Head firework cruises will also pass by harbors and mansions that offer wonderful glittering lights at night. Often overlooked, these lights are a great part of any late-night Hilton Head boat tour.The Best Way to Watch Hilton Head Fireworks?

What a wonderful experience with Captain Brody for a Hilton Head dolphin tour. First, he was super responsive when booking. During the cruise, Captain Brody was engaging, entertaining and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go for the best viewing of not just dolphins, but manta rays jumping out of the water. You can tell he knew the best spots because the larger commercial vessels were following him! Great experience for our family, highly recommend.

My family has been on many dolphin tours, but this one takes the cake! We saw soooo many dolphins, and a few of them got right up next to the boat! Even a couple of rays made an appearance for us. Captain Brody was attentive, knowledgeable, and humorous. Thanks, HH Dolphin Tours!!

We loved the disappearing island tour! Would definitely recommend. Saw dolphins, jelly fish, starfish and many shells. Our 8 year old daughter loved it too. Brody was a great boat captain.

Big thanks to Captain Brody for giving us an amazing experience crabbing, fishing, and hanging out with dolphins. My son's were able to catch multiple fish during the short tour and their confidence soared afterwards. My daughters demanded I get my own boat as well after having so much fun catching the wind. Captain Brody was a great guide and taught us a lot along the way.

We booked our crabbing tour very last minute as in at 8pm the night prior and Capt Brody luckily was able to accommodate our family of 6. We expected to learn about crabbing but he also taught us about fishing. On top of that, we got visited by dolphin Charlie. It was a private tour that all the kids enjoyed. Kids caught at least 6 fish and were very excited about the dolphin. Capt Brody was a very cool guy and his pricing is also quite reasonable. Strongly recommend.
