Overview
Named the Best Marine Wildlife Experience in South Carolina by LUX Life Family & Visitor Attraction Awards
Join Pinky Plankton and Sailor Scruffy as they take you on a 90 minute journey through the waters around Hilton Head to find Mermaid Nina. This is an exciting and fun filled adventure that the entire family will enjoy!
You will also learn the story of how Mermaid Nina became the Mermaid of Hilton Head, how she helps protect her ocean friends, why the things she does are important for our ecosystem, and what you can do to help.
When we find the real mermaid, she knows our boat! She will swim right up to the boat and talk to our passengers about the ocean, Hilton Head wildlife, and of course, answer all of your mermaid questions! Sometimes Mermaid Nina’s arch nemesis, Professor Al G, will show up and try to capture her. She will rely on you to save her from Professor Al G and scare them away with our magic bubble wands!
