Sunset Dolphin Tour

There's something about watching dolphins at sunset that makes the whole experience feel cinematic. The Lowcountry sky goes pink and orange over the marshes, the water turns gold, and the dolphins are still out there doing their thing — feeding, playing, surfacing right alongside the boat. Lowcountry Watersports' Sunset Dolphin Tour is one of the most popular experiences on the island for good reason.

This 90-minute evening cruise departs from Palmetto Bay Marina and follows the same narrated format as the daytime tour — your local guide explains dolphin behavior, points out wildlife, and shares the stories of the waterways. The difference is the light, which is spectacular in the late afternoon and early evening.

Perfect for couples, families, or anyone who wants to end a day on Hilton Head the right way. Bring a light jacket in spring and fall — it cools down quickly on the water after sunset.
