Overview

Skip the crowded tour boats and enjoy a private sunset dolphin cruise just for your group of up to 6 guests. Cruise Hilton Head’s calm coastal waters at golden hour as Atlantic bottlenose dolphins surface nearby and the island glows in sunset light.

With over 160+ five-star reviews, this private sunset cruise is one of Hilton Head’s most loved boating experiences.

With space for up to 6 guests, your group enjoys the entire boat privately for about the same per-person cost as shared tours.

Why travelers choose our private sunset cruise:

• Private boat for your group only (up to 6 guests)
• No crowded tour boats or mixed groups
• Plenty of space for photos and relaxing views
• Flexible routes based on dolphins, wildlife, and sunset conditions
• Perfect for couples, families, and small groups

Instead of watching the sunset from the back of a crowded boat, experience Hilton Head the way it was meant to be seen — quiet water, open views, dolphins nearby, and the people you came with.

  • Experienced local captain guiding your cruise

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Hilton Head Sunset Dolphin Cruise – Up to 6 Guests?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
