Hilton Head Island is a beautiful travel destination with miles of white sand beaches, premier golf courses, miles of shaded, winding biking paths and more.

Many come to the island with a specific idea in mind of everything they want to do based off of travel columns, social media or word-of-mouth. However, if your family loves to experience new places in a unique or adventurous way, or if you’re a local or repeat visitor who is looking for something new to explore, it can be difficult to find activities that might fit a more out-of-the-box mold.

Here are seven unique things to try on Hilton Head Island during your next visit.

Adventure Hilton Head is a special place on the island’s north end where guests can explore their more daring, adventurous sides. The location offers GoKarting, ziplining and the opportunity to traverse a high ropes course with bridges, swings and cargo nets suspended high in the air. The zipline canopy tour offers scenic water views with a series of seven different ziplines, a swinging sky bridge and aerial staircase, a 900 foot-long dual-racing zipline and incorporates some of the history of the island. In addition, the Aerial Adventure consists of six different high ropes courses with many obstacles including swings, nets, bridges and even a bike. It is one way to view Hilton Head Island from quite a different angle. Adventure Hilton Head can be found at 33 Broad Creek Marina Way, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926.

Hilton Head Island’s Gullah Heritage Trail Tours was founded in 1996 by a Gullah Family Partnership on Hilton Head Island. Since then, the “family has been involved in preserving Gullah cultural heritage, blending Gullah cultural values in the SC-GA Low Country, for more than 40 years,” states the company’s website.

Based on the island, Gullah Heritage Trail Tours aims to cater to visitors and locals in the Lowcountry who have an interest in learning more about the history of Gullah culture in the surrounding area. This company gives guests the opportunity to learn more about the rich history and add an important learning element to their vacation or aid a curiosity in the deeper history of the Lowcountry. The pick-up location for tours can be found at 70 Honey Horn Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC on the north end of the island.

Escape Room Hilton Head is a perfect rainy day adventure for any adventurous or problem-solving family. Featuring several different rooms to choose from, Escape Room Hilton Head is open every day of the week and advertises a rate of $32.95 for anyone over the age of six. The establishment can be found at 10 Executive Park Drive Suite 102, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928 toward the south end of the island.

Hilton Head Distillery, Hilton Head Island’s first craft distillery, offers a unique experience for guests. Offering a wide-variety of activities, the distillery gives patrons the opportunity to engage in a hands-on mixology experience, behind-the scenes tours, tastings, signature cocktail classes and cocktail bar. Options given by the distillery are a much-talked about affair among adults and ranked as a ‘must-do’ for many adult parties or gatherings. The distillery can be found at 14 Cardinal Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926.

Hilton Head Helicopter Tours is an incredible experience offered ‘on’ the island that allows guests to view Hilton Head from a completely different perspective. The tours allow flyers to view the island’s Lowcountry beauty from the sky and take in the sights and colors from an entirely different vantage point. Advertised as “perfect for families, couples, and friends,” the company offers several different tours for guests to choose from.

Hilton Head Segway is yet another unique opportunity to view the island in a different way. With several Segway tour options, the company offers premier Segway rides and tours at three different locations on Hilton Head Island around Honey Horn, historic Mitchelville and centrally around mid-island. The Segway is electrically powered and eco-friendly for eco-conscious guests. Segways are gyroscopically stabilized for a safe and fun experience, which can be learned to ride within just a few minutes for most people.

Island Skiff Adventure Tours is a unique experience where attendees have the opportunity to drive their own skiffs while following a guide boat and exploring local marshes around Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Daufuskie Island and other undeveloped, nearby areas. The tours make stops for dolphin sightings, and guests will be able to learn more about the history of the surrounding area. The company also offers a similar tour for those who are a bit more thrill seeking and would prefer a speed boat ride to that of a skiff boat.
