Island Head - Hilton Head Harbor

I will definitely be using them again! We went to Dafuski Island in February and the ride over was chilly but the staff was very professional and friendly. We got the meals and wheels combo which was round trip ferry to the island and back, a golf cart rental and two $20 meal vouchers. We had a great time, the food was delicious and there was no hassle getting to the island and back! We had a lot of fun! If you are not sure…just book it and you will not be disappointed!!! My boyfriend proposed on the island so it was definitely a memorable experience! We will definitely use them again when we come back for anniversary visits!

We had a great dolphin tour today with a very knowledgeable captain Jackson. On a very windy day we were able to see 10-15 dolphins. He knew where to go and was very kind to my entire family. He kept us all engaged and handled himself well. One of the other passengers was very afraid of even getting on the boat because she couldn’t swim. Jackson made everyone feel safe and was very cautious but still gave us an exciting time.

Enjoyed a Pontoon Rental, and saw more dolphins than I ever have in my life. Friendly staff, nice boat, great fun with the family.

We did the Rose Golden Hour Sunset on the 4th of July. My mom is hard of walking normally and she sprained her ankle so she was extra slow on this trip. so we called a couple days ahead of time to see if we should cancel and they told us it was no problem - they could golf cart us. They were quick to help with the cart down the long pier but then the Catamaran was in the furthest slip away - still a significant walk with no cart access 🥲🥲 the team was SO helpful with my mom and they were the best, but I did wish we knew how far it was to get to the slip and my mom probably would have canceled. But the team was seriously the best and I’m sad I forget their names but you’ll see them in the video! Awesome trip and I’d for sure do it again.

We had a lovely tour! Lots of dolphin and wildlife sightings on the ferry, and then so much fun riding around in golf carts. Our party of ten (with quite a few kiddos) had a stress free adventure.. Thank you!

Fantastic sailing experience! The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe the entire time. Beautiful views, smooth ride, and great vibes, highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect day on the water!

Our parasailing experience with Island Head was professionally operated, safe, and incredibly enjoyable. The crew was knowledgeable and accommodating, ensuring a smooth and memorable adventure with breathtaking views from above.

Great location… close to everything. Sunset Dolphin tour and Kayak was amazing. Nate made it a great experience.

We really enjoyed our Dolphin tour. A few of them came right up to our boat. Our tour guide was really awesome!!!! We went during December, so it was a little chilly but not too bad. I’m sure other times of the year are different, we probably go back during the fall. I definitely recommend doing this!!!

The 1.5 hour dolphin tour was super chill, low key and very relaxing. We saw some manatees and a few dolphins! Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and a great dude. One tip: wear sunscreen and bring a hat. If it’s a sunny day you are baking in the sun for 1.5 hours.

Wonderful staff, very welcoming, happy to be there, and happy you're there! We rented a pontoon the first day and the guy helping us couldn't have been better. I had never driven a boat before, and he was very calm and encouraging and gave very simple, clear instructions. The next day we went para sailing and the 2 guys we went out with were so much fun! Highly recommend this place, you will feel great during the whole experience.

We rented a pontoon boat for 4 hours from them today! We had a marvelous time. The staff was fantastic, going over the finer details of how to operate a boat in Hilton Head Island Waters ... YES. It is different, going over thr boat operations and safety measures. All of which was done to ensure that we had a great time. We went into the mouth of the May River, down to Daufuskie Island, over toward Harbour Towne and then back again. We saw a ton of Dolphins, more than we've ever seen and had remarkable weather. We'll definitely rent from these guys again. Great equipment, Great Staff and we had a great time!

Our sunset dolphin cruise was amazing and Captain Devin was perfect!!! She was so friendly and very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We loved her and it couldn’t of been better!!! Thank you Captain Devin!!!

Great ferry ride. No problems. Guide/driver was clearly experienced and kept us from bouncing on other boat waves as much as possible. He answered questions well. Golf carts were ready to go on the island by name with no wait.

This was my third trip with Island Head, and every time it’s just as wonderful as the last. The check-in is simple and stress-free, and everyone we meet is always so kind and welcoming. They make it easy to know exactly where to park, where to go, and how to get to the dock. Once we arrived on Daufuskie, picking up our golf cart was seamless. And the free meal at Freeport is such a fun bonus. Island Head really takes care of everything, you can just relax and enjoy the day.

Fun ferry ride over and back, w/ interesting facts along the way. Great driving around island in golf cart. Attractions could have had more directions, signs, historical significance… but it was a nice low-key trip.

We took the round trip ferry to Daufuskie Island with golf cart rental and lunch. It was a great deal for the price. Saw a few dolphins on the way over. Staff was very friendly, the island was beautiful, the music was great, and food was good. Great day trip!

Excellent experience. Steve and Nate were our boat crew. They were skilled, professional, and never cut corners. Their boat and parasail equipment was in top condition. Their sailing skills and processes were practiced and efficient.. Neither Steve nor Nate ever took their eyes off the water or the parasailing guests. Each ride was about 10 minutes which felt about right. The entire experience felt totally safe. The boat ride itself was highly enjoyable. It really was worth every penny and we will ride with them again.

Great experience flying with the team from Island Head para-sailing. We had 10 people who flew on our trip and it was like clockwork. Captain very experienced and his crew, John, was a pro. Even if you don't fly the boat ride was wonderful lots of dolphin sightings and great views of the marsh lands.

OMG, PARASAILING WITH ISLAND HEAD WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER!!! The crew was SO fun, the views were absolutely STUNNING, and floating in the sky was the coolest, most exhilarating feeling—I wanted to stay up there forever!!!

Parasailing with Island Head was an unforgettable experience with amazing views, a fun crew, and the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation on the water. PS Loved the music on board.

We had a wonderful Dolphin trip last week with Jeff (I’m pretty sure that was his name). Our tour started with him offering to golf cart drive us down to the ramp to check in. That was really kind. The trip was relaxing and our guide stopped frequently for us to view the dolphins. I would recommend their tours.

We come to Hilton Head and enjoy this dolphin tour every year! Steve was the BEST tour guide this year and our kids had so much fun.

My husband and I booked a dolphin tour with Island Head on June 25, 2024. Captain Bill was our tour guide, we loved him!!! He was very informative about the area which was very interesting. He even found dolphins for us and one even came right up to the boat. So we got an up close and personal with a dolphin!!! The only thing that would have made it better was if I was in the water with the dolphins 😊 So I would like to personally thank Captain Bill ❤️ I hope to book a tour with you the next time we come to HHI.

Really enjoyed our pontoon boat ride around Daufuskie Island. William, who checked us in and got us on the water, was highly professional and very friendly, not to mention humorous. The only downside to our trip was that the radio didn't work (though it would've been hard to hear it over the motor while moving). It was a nice way to see parts of the Hilton Head area inaccessible to cars and bikes.

We so enjoyed ferry to and back Daufuskie Island. Even though it was not a dolphin tour, the captain stopped the boat to give us a chance to look at dolphins. There was also a couple of stingrays that jumped around. The captain and Riley were both were a wealth of information and eagerly shared knowledge. Riley even shared pictures that she had on her phone and was a pleasure to have conversation with. Very personable crew. Truly awesome.

Even though the day started out a little rainy, our sunset cruise with Captain Bill ended up being one of the most memorable parts of our trip. He was super friendly and made us feel right at home as soon as we got on the boat. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the experience special. We weren’t sure what to expect with the weather, but Captain Bill stayed positive and kept an eye on the sky. And sure enough — just in time — the sun peeked through the clouds and gave us the most beautiful sunset. The way the light hit the water and the sky lit up after the rain was absolutely stunning. Then, to make the moment even more magical, we saw dolphins! Captain Bill pointed them out right away and slowed the boat down so we could really take it in. It was such a peaceful, surreal experience. He also took photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The pictures turned out amazing, and it was nice not to worry about taking our own while we soaked in the view. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Rain or shine, Captain Bill knows how to make it unforgettable. Highly recommend booking with him — you won’t regret it!

Ferry ride was enjoyable and staff were friendly and professional. Sign in was easy and quick. Small wait for golf carts but check in was easy as well and fun to tour the island. Finished our day with lunch and another nice ferry ride back. Was an enjoyable day and easy to plan. Would highly recommend.

What a fun time! We really enjoyed this sunset hibachi pontoon cruise. The chefs were fun and energetic and ensured all were having a good time. They were also cautious of anyone with food allergies. The playlist had a little something for everyone which was appreciated. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Rented a pontoon boat from Island Head yesterday for a morning on the water with my wife, 2 kids, and a couple friends. We had a great experience through out. Check in was quick and seamless and Captain John gave us a great introduction to the boat. The boat was clean and comfortable and worked perfectly. Our four hours on the water went way too fast - we had so much fun - we explored the waters around Hilton Head and we saw manatee, dolphin, lots of birds, and tons of cool flowers and fauna. I highly recommend Island Head - they are awesome.

Last night we had a wonderful time on our Hibachi sunset cruise. The crew was so attentive and the chefs made a delicious dinner for us. The food was plentiful and it was fun watching them prepare it. Thank you for a very pleasant and relaxing evening! We would definitely recommend this cruise!

Renting a pontoon and heading to Daufuskie was about as good as it gets—cold drinks, good folks, and not a worry in the world. We cruised, beached it, and raised a little hell, all while soaking up that Carolina sun. Nothin’ but a damn good time out on the water!

Hibachi cruise is a MUST. My brother and I had the best time! It was a blast!!!! I would recommend to everyone!

The pontoon was perfect for a laid-back day on the water, slow cruising and stopping to swim whenever we felt like it. It wasn’t the fastest ride, but it was all about relaxing, enjoying the views, and floating in the sun. If you’re looking for a chill day on the water, this is the way to go! Saw the Harbour Town Lighthouse and stopped at Freeport for lunch.

We were in Hilton Head celebrating my birthday. It was my best friend, husband and myself. We decided to do this sunset cruise and it was the best decision. We had such a good time. Jackson was our Captain, he was great and he helped us to see the dolphins! He was the best! I highly recommend this cruise!

Omg, parasailing with Island Head was like, the most insane, amazing, totally breathtaking thing ever! I was freaking out at first, but then we went up, and it was all peaceful and pretty, and I felt like a total mermaid queen floating in the sky—obsessed!

The sunset dolphin cruise by Island Head was the high mark of our week In Hilton Head. The weather was great, the ones calm, the captain Rob excellent, and we saw several dolphins. Everything came together for a memorable experience. Thanks!

Our parasailing experience with Island Head was absolutely amazing! The crew was super friendly and made us feel safe and excited from start to finish. Floating high above the water with stunning views was breathtaking, and the smooth landing made it even better—definitely a must-do adventure!

We had so much fun parasailing. The crew was very nice, explained the entire process and took several photos of us while flying! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

The best deal to explore the island. Very easy process from board to getting the golf cart and the return trip. This is a great deal for a couple.the meal vouchers almost completely pay for the meal. The drink voucher is only good for a soft drink or their daily special drink.

Rented a pontoon boat today. Something was wrong with the one we were supposed to use & they sent us to the Broad Creek location…everyone was so nice & pleasant about it all!!! We had a blast & appreciate the kindness shown! Great company!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My family of 3 (44, 55 & 13) all had a great time with the crew!! We started with Parasailing and had such a great time, we also rented the 2hr Pontoon Boat. Jake & team we’re excellent! Will come back again.

We had a lovely tour! Lots of dolphin and wildlife sightings on the ferry, and then so much fun riding around in golf carts. Our party of ten (with quite a few kiddos) had a stress free adventure.. Thank you!

John was our guide. He was very informative and entertaining.... and played some awesome tunes on our tour. It was the first dolphin tour my husband and I have ever taken so we were very pleased with everything.

This is the second time I have used Island Head, but this time we rented a pontoon. We had a great experience! The process was easy and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend!

We went on their HHIbachi cruise and it was amazing. We were 4 adults, a 3yo, and an infant. It was so much more than a sunset cruise with hibachi. They kept us engaged and having fun they whole time. There’s PLENTY of food and it's very good. Their homemade ginger dressing is wonderful and all of the proteins - chicken, steak, and shrimp - were delicious. None of us could agree on which was our favorite! Drinks are available for an additional fee on board, but they take card and will open a tab for the trip. They do a free sake challenge, though, so no charge for that! You may also want to bring cash to tip at the end - they'll definitely have earned it! Great communication, they sent us a text when we booked, one the day before as a reminder, and one the morning of with arrival instructions (address, time for check-in, etc.). It was very easy to find and parking was plentiful. We're here in the spring, so parking might be more sparse in the summer. Definitely wear sunscreen, though there are parts of the boat that will be shaded. There's an exposed front deck and then a larger cabin with a cover and open sides. Bench seats line the outside of the boat - no tables. The water was smooth enough that we were walking around, dancing, and standing the whole time without issue. We also saw a couple of dolphins on the trip for an added bonus!

We had a great time! Riley was very informative on our way to and from Daufuski Island. Our captain (sorry, dont remember his name) was great. Also very informative. We had a blast driving around and getting lost on Daufuski Island in our golf carts for the day. Had a great drink at the Old Daufuski Crab Co and the best BBQ at Up In Smoke!

Very professional service and super friendly. We made last-minute plans to get on the ferry to Daufuskie Island and get a golf cart rental. Island Hilton Head we’re so helpful and able to set everything up for us and included food voucher b Will definitely be doing this again!

We had a fantastic time! The boat easily accommodated our group of 10 adults and 2 children, we brought our own food and drinks and it worked great! We saw lots of dolphins and the sunset was gorgeous! Highly recommend, we’ll be back!

We had a beautiful cruise, meeting and taking with new people. Chefs made the hibachi dinner onboard while cruising. Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Was a beautiful evening.
