Hello trying to call and see if 1:30 pm 2 hour cruise is available for 4 people this Thursday 9/19. . Wonā€™t let me book online. Tried to call but not having any luck getting through.

Hi Brenda, Our reservations team got back to you very quickly and you are all set with the tour you requested. We apologize, but from time to time the phones get very busy. We always return your call as quickly as possible, usually within 30 minutes. Some trips cannot be booked online if they have not met their minimum passenger count. We have a chat system on our website that is always monitored and responded to as well a direct email link. While we do check TripAdvisor every day, it is not monitored full time for booking communications. Now that you are all set to go, we look forwarding to having you aboard to enjoy our tour.

Hello Diane P. Please excuse our delay in responding here in TripAdvisor. Somehow we did not get a notification of your question. On September 13, because of the tides we offer our 3-Hour "Vanishing Island Expedition" at 4:30pm, and that tour will encompass the sunset as well. On September 14, we offer our Sunset Dolphin Cruise at 6:00pm for two hours. We are not allowed by TripAdvisor to provide links within this system. Please search for Island Explorer Hilton Head to find us or call 843-785-2100 to make a reservation. Let us know if you have further questions. Island Explorer
