Hilton Head Island Nature Cruises

Set sail for an unforgettable evening on the water with Outside Hilton Head’s Lowcountry Boil Dinner Cruise. Enjoy a classic Lowcountry feast—shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes—served hot and fresh aboard our comfortable cruise vessel. Sip on sweet tea, lemonade, or bottled water as you take in the scenic salt marsh views, and toast the sunset with a cold beer, glass of wine, or one of our signature cocktails available at the onboard cash bar. It’s the perfect way to savor the flavors of the Lowcountry while soaking up the beauty of Hilton Head’s coastal waterways.

Embark on an unforgettable Lowcountry adventure as you journey through the Carolina saltmarsh ecosystem to the historic Daufuskie Island. This unique experience combines history, nature, and cuisine. Once on Daufuskie Island, hop into golf carts and explore its charming, oak-lined roads draped in Spanish moss and visit iconic landmarks. Next, unwind at the Daufuskie Crab Company, where you’ll savor a delicious outdoor Lowcountry food experience while overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway. After your meal, climb back aboard and enjoy a scenic cruise back to Hilton Head.

A Family Favorite! A Beachcombing Cruise is the perfect way to explore the coastline and discover fascinating sea creatures and shells. As we adventure to a remote sandbar, your interpretive naturalist captain will entertain you with fun facts and fascinating stories of the lowcountry. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll have plenty of time to explore and hunt for ocean treasures.

Native Son Adventures offers a half-day kids surf and ocean adventure on Hilton Head Island at Palmetto Dunes. This one-time, 4-hour experience is perfect for families looking for an unforgettable island activity without a multi-day commitment.

​

Kids enjoy guided time in the Atlantic Ocean learning to surf, boogie board, paddle, and explore the coastal environment in a fun, safe, small-group setting.

Sport Crabbing Adventure aboard the Captain Kidd just might be the most exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining thing you do on vacation! After a short cruise from Shelter Cove Harbour (narrated by your captain so you don’t miss any sights along the way), the Captain Kidd anchors up in the shallow saltwater marshes of Hilton Head. The crabby crew will offer a brief demonstration on how to catch the little critters. Each passenger is supplied with their own crabbing equipment and whoever catches the most crabs by the time the bell rings wins the official (and much coveted) t-shirt!
