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.
You can choose the single rider jet skis or a wave runner that seats two adults. Both vehicles travel at very high speed reaching over fifty miles per hour but the single seated skis are more versatile and can safely venture further from the shore line. Either ride can serve as an exciting adventure for long days in sun and water.
The wave runner carries more than one passenger and is more family friendly. It does not have a braking system so all passengers must wear a life jacket for safety. It does have a kill switch that shuts the machine down if the driver falls off. The shop where you rented it will train you on how to remount if you fall off.
You must be eighteen to rent these water crafts. State law sets the rules that the shop owners must follow when renting them. Children under eight years old are not allowed to ride on the vehicle either. And most owners will want to see and copy your driver's license or other picture identification. All riders are required to wear life jackets and the shop owner will supply them for the customer either by renting or loaning 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.
The water fowl and birds of prey are also exciting to see. Bald eagles are abundant and egrets and osprey nest in this area. There are also some dangerous animals such as alligators in marshes and small sting rays in the water. Sting rays bury themselves in sand and can inflict painful puncture wounds if accidentally stepped on.
The company that rents the equipment will be happy to show you the best handling features of the water craft you select. The more information you have regarding proper operation the more enjoyable your excursion will be. This also helps to ensure that his machine will be returned to him in working condition at the end of the day. Making reservations in advance is always a good idea.
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.
