A vacation in South Carolina would not be complete unless you spend part of it in the city of Hilton Head. This coastal city offers a tantalizing array of sights and activities to vacationers and day tourists from all over the country. The historic atmosphere and friendly welcoming population make it one of the best places in America to spend summer days. An important part of your stay may be participating in the jet ski rentals Hilton Head Island offers.
These vehicles come in two sizes. The single rider vehicle travels at speeds up to fifty miles per hour and can cruise the coastal areas as well as the open sea. Expert riders can jump wakes from boats and perform dare devil stunts on them. These stunts are not recommended for those who are not familiar with this method of water travel.
The larger wave runner is somewhat safer than the single seated jet skis. Both require life jackets when being used but the larger vehicle has an automatic shut off switch that shuts it off if the driver falls into the water. The shop personnel train riders on how to get back onto it in the water before they let you leave with it.
You cannot rent these vehicles if you are under eighteen years of age. You must also provide either a drivers license or picture identification card before renting it. Most shops will not allow children under eight years old to board the wave runners. State laws mandate most of the rules enforced by shops that rent them.
There are guided tours available that will take you into the swampy coastal areas. Here you will see many different kinds of native wild life and plants. The marine animals may include the bottle nosed dolphins that live in the area. These dolphins have a unique method of fishing that is very rare. They are one of the few species that run the fish up on the shore and then temporarily beach themselves while catching the fish.
Other wild life to be seen is bald eagles, osprey, and logger back turtles. The tours are designed to be environmentally friendly and the jets and wave runners are perfect for this use in the back waters and marshes found here. Some tours will take you through the waterway that bisects the island.
When you rent the equipment the retailer will be happy to show you the proper use of it. He will show you what to do if you have trouble while on the water, how to stop and start, mount and dismount. This serves to help keep the customer safe as well as protect the equipment that is being rented to you. To keep from being disappointed you should always make reservations for the equipment you want to use.
When vacationing in South Carolina there will be plenty of sunshine and warm weather. You may also run into a few thunder storms. They are short lived and the clouds dissipate quickly. They are most common during July when there is an average of six inches of rain. The effect on your vacation will be minimal and you can be assured of an exciting experience in the coastal paradise created by this barrier island.
