Guided Paddleboard Tour

Glide across the calm waters of Hilton Head Island on a stand-up paddleboard, exploring the local marshes and wildlife with H2O Sports. Paddleboarding is easy to learn, and you'll start with the basics on land before getting comfortable standing on the water. From there, your guide leads you on a tour of Calibogue Sound and the surrounding marsh areas, where the calm conditions make it well suited to beginners.

Along the way you'll learn about the local ecosystem and observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Most guests have never paddleboarded before, so there's no need to be intimidated—just be ready to swim and to explore the waterways. Experienced instructors guide you throughout, and basic paddleboarding instruction is provided if you need it, along with all necessary safety equipment.

Participants must be 12 or older and weigh at least 75 pounds. We recommend wearing a bathing suit or board shorts in quick-drying fabrics, and you can bring a small bag with the essentials: sunscreen (SPF 50+), a water bottle, and a towel. Meet at the H2O Sports booth next to the lighthouse and departure dock.
