About Island Life Bike Rentals and Dolphin Tours
Island Life Bike Rentals & Dolphin Tours is Hilton Head Island's premier outfitter for unforgettable family adventures on land and water. Trusted by locals and visitors since 2017, we've earned over 4,600 five-star Google reviews for our reliable service, quality gear, and passion for the Lowcountry lifestyle.
Our History
Jeremy Gonsalves launched Island Life Bike Rentals in early 2018 by acquiring a handful of smaller south-end shops, starting with around 300 bikes scattered across locations. Scaling thoughtfully to maintain top-tier service, we grew the fleet to a robust 2,200 bikes today through strategic expansion and in-house expertise. In February 2024, we acquired Island Explorer charter outfit, merging bike adventures with dolphin tours for a full land-and-sea experience—now operating as one seamless outfitter from prime spots like Broad Creek.
Our Fleet and Operations
We proudly maintain a robust fleet of 2,200 bikes, featuring everything from comfortable beach cruisers and throttle/pedal-assist e-bikes to kids' bikes, trikes, and attachments for real family fun. Safety and performance come first—we prioritize rigorous annual maintenance, rebuilding our entire fleet and assembling new bikes in-house to ensure every rental is in peak condition. Our streamlined processes keep operations smooth and efficient: island-wide delivery to beaches like Coligny and Palmetto Dunes, plus convenient self-pickup at key spots such as 36 South Forest Beach Drive, 119 Arrow Road, and 101 Marshland Road. On a typical peak summer Saturday, our team moves nearly 1,200 bikes by 4pm, fueling adventures for our vacationers along 60 miles of scenic paths and trails.
Our Team
Behind every rental and tour is our tight-knit crew of 8 full-time rental employees— They're the reason for our 4.9/5 star ratings, going above and beyond with quick personalized delivery, and that extra touch of Lowcountry hospitality. Leading our dolphin tours are 4 seasoned USCG Master licensed captains, experts in safe, intimate wildlife cruises on nimble 12-14 passenger boats. Whether on Vanishing Island trips or guiding sunset dolphin and nature outings from Broad Creek, they prioritize respect for marine life and memorable experiences for all ages.
