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
