Hilton Head Sunset Dinner Cruise
G9433VPdavidh, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience!
The dinner cruise was beautiful. The dinner was excellent and the evening trip was magical. If you ever get the chance book this cruise. Slow cruise across the sound and up the ICW turn around and.back. Saw the dolphins, sunset and birds. Then the trip back into Harbortown with the sky getting dark it was beautiful. We will book this again.

I’m local to the area but wanted my friend who had traveled far to get a good overview of Beaufort and its history. Great tour guide. Had lots of knowledge about the history, particularly ithe downtown neighborhood. I’ve lived here over40 years and learned a few things! Also, nice to have a breeze while riding on the golf cart on a brutally hot summer day.

Had a great time! Very exciting, fun filled two hours. We saw lots of dolphins and parts of Hilton head would have not had the chance to see if we didn’t do this adventure. My children really loved doing these mini boats. The guides were great and every time we stopped would give us some cool information about the area we were in.

Capt Steve was our guide and he was incredible. His love of nature was apparent. Capt Steve was safety conscious and briefed us on what to do in an emergency. It was just our family of 9 and it was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend the early boat ride.
