##Description Create Memorable Family Moments on Our Extended Dolphin and Beach Combing Tour.
Experience the Lowcountry like never before with this family-oriented tour! We've crafted an extended adventure that goes beyond our regular guaranteed dolphin tour, offering you and your loved ones a journey filled with shell hunting and exploration.
Discover our Unique Vanishing Island: Located just off the Hilton Head point, the Vanishing Island is a hidden gem accessible only by boat. Here, you'll encounter sand dollars, starfish, and seashells rarely found on the popular Hilton Head beaches. However, please note that this sandy paradise is only visible during specific tides, and that is why there are limited times (it doesn't always reveal itself). If the times do not match up to yours, give us a call and there is plenty of other exploring other than the vanishing island.
Alternatively, venture to other secluded beaches and shell banks, where kids can embark on their own treasure hunt with millions of shells awaiting their discovery. We can also add more exploration time, ensuring ample opportunities for your family to enjoy the company of playful dolphins as we cruise the waterways. It's your choice!
For those interested in shark's teeth, give us a call, and we'll work out a plan for that too! If the Vanishing Island is a must-see for you, please reach out to us after booking to confirm its availability.
###Our Boats & Tours Remember, we use smaller vessels for a reason. We have decided that keeping our tours small and personalized is the best way to deliver an experience like no other. With our boats, you can get as close as possible to the wildlife, without disturbing them. Often within arms length and eye level.
