Fun on the water - What a casual fun day observing nature on the water. We must have seen 20 dolphins and a few interesting birds. Joe was our guide and we learned so much about the eco system here in the Hilton Head Island waterways.

Peaceful Paddle - We had our own personal tour with Sloane as our guide in the heat of June. She was very informative and we learned a lot about the islands ecosystem while having a very enjoyable cruise. The trip was topped off by some very active dolphin play in the creek- how awesome!!! A nice way to experience the island- thank you!

Great Saturday Morning Tour - We went on the early morning 2-hour guided tour. First off, definitely recommend going early! It was starting to get hot as we ended our tour.
Our guide, Samantha was awesome. She was super knowledgeable to the area, friendly and sweet. We saw 4-5 dolphins, pelicans, egrets, the resident Manatee and lots of little jumping fish. We went as a family with 2 double kayaks, 2 adults, 15, 13, 11 and 3. The teens did great paddling by themselves, and the double kayaks weren't too difficult. We would definitely do it again!

Exceeded our expectations-party of 9 with teens - Guide was knowledgeable and adjusted to our group/knew when to give information and when to let everyone watch and observe. Asked what we wanted to know or see and then did his best to make that happen. Love hearing about how HHI Outside is helping with conservation -using oyster shells to address erosion and repopulate beds. His maturity and passion for his role made the experience exceed out expectations and we have kayaked the creek many a time.
