At Myrtle Beach State Park, our family photography sessions aren't just about capturing images; they're about creating cherished moments. With a backdrop of pristine natural beauty, expertly captured by professional photographer Kristina Barron, we don't just take photos; we craft visual stories that immortalize the love, joy, and connection within your family.

2 1/4 Hour Private Kayak Hilton Head Dolphin Nature Experience
From $399
Free Cancellation👤Private Tour

Our nature activities are a great way to experience Hilton Head Island by water. We get up close and personal with the salt marsh, oysters, and, by far, the vast number of our tours will see bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins are, of course, wild animals, so they come and go as they please. But in the summer months, the experiences run at nearly 90% seeing dolphins, and even in the off-season, the percentages are very high as the bottlenose dolphin population lives in the area year-round. We occasionally see manatees in the warmer months and, on occasion, get lucky and see a loggerhead turtle, mink, otter, or bald eagle. It's a great experience for all ages, and as Trip Advisor shows, we have nearly all five stars and do our very best to show each and every guest a great time! All ages are welcome, as generally, we will do our best to split into multiple groups based on groups with or without kids, as well as different experience levels. Come join the fun!
