Why We're the Best Dolphin tour in Myrtle Beach!

Friendly and experience staff with some awesome options of fun activities for your vacation! Went on the Dolphin watch cruise. Time went by fairly fast but the crew did get us to see some Dolphins and and some fun and interesting facts about the wild life.

We had a wonderful trip with them. They were very personable and able to answer any questions that were asked. They were knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable. It's a must do. Captain found dolphins very quickly and pointed them out to all.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff made a pandemic-era outing feel normal. We had a pleasant experience on our dolphin tour, with a guide possessing a background related to ocean life. The educational aspect was appreciated, as well. My family would absolutely recommend this company!

We really enjoyed our experience on the dolphin watch. The captain and first mate were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining! It was truly a great family event because the boat is wheelchair accessible!
