Cruise Hilton Head’s coastal waters at sunset with your private group, room to relax, and a chance to spot dolphins.
About this tour
Set out on a private Hilton Head sunset dolphin cruise, where your group can enjoy the water, music, and evening light without sharing the boat with other guests. This 120-minute cruise accommodates 7–15 people and is led by an experienced local captain.
The extra-wide boat offers 30–40% more space than most tour boats, with room to relax, take photos, and enjoy the view. Bring your own music for the premium Bluetooth stereo, and make use of the cooler and ice provided. Keep watch for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in Hilton Head’s coastal waters as the sun sets over the island. Routes can vary based on dolphin activity and sunset conditions.
Meet at Hilton Head RV Resort and Marina on the north end of the island, where staff will direct you to parking and your captain. Food and snacks are not provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own; alcoholic beverages are BYOB, and captain gratuity is not included. Book a Hilton Head private sunset dolphin cruise for a relaxed evening on the water with your group.

- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by 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.
