Pinckney Island NWR Circumnavigation (2+ Hours - Private)
A more extended journey, this nature exploration gives us time to round the entire Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. This expedition covers a lot of water, with much variety from the Hilton Head Island side (Skull Creek), to Port Royal Sound and the infamous Dolphin Head area, well-known for the abundance of its namesake, and the backcountry remoteness of the Mackay Creek side of Pinckney.
The protected waters of Mackay Creek offer an outstanding opportunity for Water Ski, Wakeboard, and Tubing fun! Why not combine both the circumnavigation with some watersports for an action packed Lowcountry adventure? Check out our other programs to determine what might be a good combination of activities for your group.

Non-Private Tours ("Shared")
Most Live Oac adventures are private, fully-customized experiences. Because different groups can have such distinct expectations, offering exclusive private trips allows us to meet and exceed your expectations without exception, and without interference from another group that might not be a good match. If you'd prefer a non-private trip, we do offer Shared Dolphin Tour / Nature Cruises throughout the week that you can signup for on an individual basis (per person). Before doing so, please consider the added value of a private, customized trip and the ideal experience you have in mind. It is our goal to leave our clients with the feeling they've just had an amazing Lowcountry experience.
