Hagrid's size, it would be very difficult to apparate.  Harry finds
apparition very uncomfortable.  Can you imagine how uncomfortable it
would be for Hagrid?  I would think that splinching for him would be a
definite possibility.

Finwitch:

I doubt Hagrid has apparition licence. Harry didn't get to begin
training until sixth year and Hagrid was - although unfairly -
expelled on his third year and banned from using magic. So I'd say
Hagrid does not even know how to apparate.

As for his getting onto the rock, he tells Harry: 'I flew.' I
speculate it was on the flying Motorcycle Sirius lent him. At least we
*saw* that motorcycle before the event. Anyway, it's entirely possible
that the motorcycle is *still* on that rock. It's Harry's now, of
course, just like everything else Sirius ever owned...

As for the Dursleys getting off-- I think that the person who rented
the hut - or the boat - would have gone and get them once Hagrid and
Harry got off it...
