It's that "just right" amount of time for a comfortable cruise to explore, see dolphins, and learn about the backcountry waters. Our 1½ hour Dolphin Adventure™ Tour is our most popular all-around nature tour. Live Oac SUV Boating™ charters can accommodate up to 6 passengers per boat, and we have multiple boats available for larger groups. No matter what type of trip you choose, once we leave our dock on Skull Creek, you’ll have immediate access to the wildlife refuge and the opportunity to leave civilization behind for a while. When the dolphins aren't exploring the refuge creeks with us, we can usually find them playing here! We spend most of our time here, as well as the nearby "Dolphin Head" region of Port Royal Sound, home to many local Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Join Live Oac on an exploration deep into the refuge and surrounding waters to remote areas most people won't have the opportunity to see.
Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge includes more than 4,000 acres of salt marsh estuary and small islands. The tidal estuary offers year-round fishing opportunities and an abundance of other wildlife to be observed. Pristine water sports and tubing areas are just minutes away. The local dolphin population and activities observed are second to none. This lowcountry treasure provides the perfect setting for Live Oac’s outdoor adventure activities.
While the Refuge takes it's name from its largest island, Pinckney, there are several other islands and tidal creeks that make up this protected area. Live Oac is ideally located on the Hilton Head side of Skull Creek, and just across this creek is Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge.
