Cruise Hilton Head at golden hour on a private dolphin charter for up to six, with a local captain and cooler with ice provided.

About this tour

Trade a crowded tour boat for a private sunset cruise on Hilton Head’s coastal waters. As the light turns golden, watch for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins surfacing nearby and enjoy open views of the island with only your group aboard.

Your local captain guides the two-hour cruise, with the route adjusted to conditions, wildlife, and the sunset. The private charter accommodates up to six guests, making it a relaxed choice for couples, families, or a small group. Bring your own drinks and snacks, including alcohol; a cooler with ice is provided. Dolphin sightings are frequent, though wildlife encounters can vary.

Meet your captain at Hilton Head RV Resort on the island’s north end. Park in the lot closest to the water and look for two silver Airstream trailers. Settle in, share the sunset with your favorite people, and experience Hilton Head from the water on a private sunset dolphin cruise.

  • 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.
