Hilton Head Island SUP Tours & Rentals

Hilton Head’s network of creeks and inshore waters provide a range of environments ideal for stand up paddleboarding, with beautiful scenery and the opportunity to see dolphins and other wildlife along the way.

Paddleboard outings in Hilton Head are generally geared toward the beginner, and you can expect to spend the first 30 minutes or so of most tours learning the basics of the sport.

If you already have experience of paddleboarding and do not want to travel at the pace of a beginner, you may prefer to arrange a private tour, which can go out for longer and sometimes to the local paddling destination of your choice.
