Island Skiff Adventure Tours runs one trip, the Hilton Head Skiff Guided Boat Tour, and it is built around steering. A guide leads a small group of skiffs out of Broad Creek Marina and through the creeks and marsh behind the island, and each boat is driven by its own party. It suits people who would rather run the boat than sit and listen, and it is a different trip from the narrated cruises on the same dock.

How the Skiff Tour Works

  • You drive: each skiff is driven by a member of your party while the guide leads the way and points out wildlife; ask when you book about age and license rules.

  • Where it goes: the tidal creeks and marsh around Broad Creek, where dolphins, birds and the marsh itself are the point.

  • Compared with other boat tours: shared cruises seat you on a bigger boat with a narrating captain; this one puts you at the helm. See all the formats on our Hilton Head boat tours guide.
