Private Boat Charter I Sunset Dolphin Experience I Hilton Head, SC I USA Experience Gifts

This Private Charter is during sunset so you can have all the fun while also seeing dolphins in a colorful sunset over the salt marshes. We set sail about 90 minutes before the sunset so you can have a relaxing evening on the water with a gorgeous view. 

Enjoying the sunset while learning about Hilton Head Island and the salt marshes as well as having a great dolphin sighting is the best way to end the day and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Dolphin watching is always better with an orange and red sky as your backdrop.

The Dolphin Experience Boat Tour is one of the best Hilton Head dolphin tours around. Go find and learn about dolphins and other Hilton Head wildlife. 

Quick Look

• 75 minutes on the water

• Great for all ages

• Dolphin watching 

• Covered Boat

Eco tours are a great time for all ages! With over 170 residential Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and around 400 nomadic bottlenose dolphins passing through Hilton Head waters, it is no wonder dolphin sightings are so much fun. This tour however, takes dolphin watching to a new level.  The tour guide knows most of the local dolphins by name and will introduce you to them. You will also learn about bottlenose dolphin species and how they adapt to our local low country ecosystem. There is nothing better than to see wild dolphins in their natural habitat. 

Tours are 75 minutes long and the boat is covered to keep you out of the hot sun, with room for up to 24 people and sits low to the water for optimal viewing.  

As you cruise around Hilton Head waters and the Pinckney Island National Wildlife refuge you will get up close and personal with Low Country wildlife. You may see: Dolphins, birds (such as Bald Eagle, Pelican, Great Blue Heron, Egret, Wood Stork, Spoonbill), Sea Turtles, Alligators, Manatees, Sharks, Sting Rays, Blue Crabs, and more.   

Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Per Coast Guard regulation kids 12 and under must wear a life vest that will be provided.
