Cruise Hilton Head’s waterways on a private sunset dolphin tour, with a licensed captain, close-up wildlife sightings, water, and snacks.

About this tour

Set out as the sky warms with color and Hilton Head’s Atlantic bottlenose dolphins surface nearby. This private 90-minute Hilton Head dolphin tour pairs sunset views with an intimate look at local wildlife.

Meet your USCG-licensed captain at Palmetto Bay Marina and cruise the island’s waterways in a private boat for up to six people. Keep watch as dolphins feed, play, and glide through their natural habitat, while an eco-narration shares insights into their behavior and feeding habits. Bottled water and chips are provided for the ride, and the open-water sunset makes a memorable backdrop for time with family or friends.

Choose this Hilton Head private sunset dolphin tour for a relaxed outing with room to enjoy the scenery and spot wildlife at your own pace. Find the check-in office by the Lowcountry Watersports flag, past the Black Marlin restaurant, and get ready to explore the waterways.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 21 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Hilton Head Island
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 29% in Hilton Head Island means it ranks in the top 29% of tours in Hilton Head Island by this score.
