Self-proclaimed “tourists turned locals”, brothers Michael and Taylor, have been hosting folks to water activities for many years.
Island Head offers the traditional activities such as parasailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiing and tubing. But did you know that Island Head on Hilton Head is more than just a “watersports” company? Watersports is just one piece of their portfolio. Their model is more holistic — combining rentals, tours, transport, wellness, dining, and experiential offerings. Here’s a breakdown of what they do and what makes them stand out.
