It was Amazing!!! We seen at least 6/7 dolphins and a sea turtle. Forest and his dad were GREAT host!! They answered all of our questions and their personalities were the icing on the cake.  We would definitely do it again!

We had a great experience. Boat ride was relaxing. Crew was awesome. We chose this one because it stopped at a beach for us to wander around a bit. Best part was seeing the dolphins. We saw a lot of them. Captain took us out to a shrimp boat so there was a lot of dolphin activity.

Dolphins!

Had a great ti.ecaptai. and his mate were informative a d funny.
.very much enjoyed and recommend

Tourist

Enjoyed our boat tour. Captain and steward provided informative and enjoyable narration with music throughout our 2 hour tour.  I wished I had known ahead of time, we would wade in water when leaving the boat to the island, because I would not have worn socks and tie shoes.  The cruise ending during sunset provided beautiful pictures and memories.

Sunset is the best tour

We had a wonderful experience on the dolphin cruise. My daughter -in-law and teenage granddaughter accompanied me and we had fun on a bright sunny day with a lovely cool breeze. The captain and first mate gave a great tour and we saw 4-5 pods of dolphins feeding and jumping.  The island stop was short but we saw a little crab swimming in the tide pool and several small fish.  I would recommend this young company to others with 5*****.

Blondeteach

The crew was pleasant n the trip went ok. The ride was good. Unfortunately we didn’t see any Dolphins, which was the point of the trip. I kinda thought it was a guarantee but I guess not.

Sadly no Dolphins

Great time with Captain Forest and Chip
The water was a little rough with some serious swells entering the Atlantic but they navigated us through and brought us to a spot where there were a number of feeding dolphins.  There is nothing like seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic crew

We went on 5/16/25 at 3pm. It was great, the girl, i believe her name was Kristina, and the captain were super nice and easy to talk to. Made you feel at home. Would definitely go again.

Dolphin and island tour

My family and I really enjoyed our excursion.  The dolphin watching was exciting and the trip to the island was fun. I love the way "Forest & Lt.  Dan" made each young person on the boat feel SO special and a part of the adventure. My grandson loved steering the boat! Will definitely recommend to others who Vaca in Myrtle Beach. Keep up the good work.

Very enjoyable

We were bummed we took ten of us and didn’t see anything. Also tickets said they were $31 a piece for five of us and I ended up paying $194 and there was no receipt to show where the other money came from. It was an extra $40 than I thought

I'm sorry we weren't able to find the dolphins for you on your trip. Unfortunately, they are wild animals and there are some cruises we go out there and don't see them. 
I am not sure where you saw the tickets advertised for $31. On my website and on Tripshock the price is clearly stated. You enter your own card info in to purchase the tickets and are shown the total when you do that, and then are sent a an email receipt after booking with all your confirmation details. If you would like to discuss further or even come out on another trip with a returning customer discount to have another chance of finding the dolphins please give me a call (843)364-9962 
thanks

Dinner cruise

I took my wife for a surprise 20th anniversary dinner cruise. It was absolutely fantastic. She loved it. Although there were a number of folks on the cruise as well, it was quite romantic. We had our own table by a window. The food was delicious and plentiful. The entertainer/host was amazing and talented. She even took a request for our wedding song. The rest of the staff were very courteous and accommodating. The bartender receptive to drink requests and quite jovial. We would absolutely do it again. Thank you all so much!!

We saw dolphins and an alligator which Captain Patrick said was rare. Got completely soaked and loved every minute of it!

Fantastic

It was good but unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins. The ocean was too rough and we couldn’t go onto the open ocean. We were given a voucher to return.

Was an amazing experience didn’t expect to get soaked but def was a good day!!!

Great day

This was the best Dolphin Cruise. The Captain was so cool and fun. I enjoyed the entire experience and would recommend it if your looking for a fun and cool time on the ocean.

I enjoyed this but it was not what I expected.  I did a dolphin tour in Portugal a few years back and the dolphins actually swam along with us in the boats wake.  I was thinking this would be similar.  That being said it was a very nice boat ride and if I booked again I would know that going in.

A nice boat ride.

Twelve of us went on the boat and enjoyed it so much! The boat ride was slow and steady. We liked the upper deck view while driving to the dolphins. Hit the jackpot and watched tons and tons of dolphins for half an hour! They were everywhere and so close to the boat. Then our captain brought on some extra ocean animals for kids to see. That was a fun bonus! Great experience. Best part of the trip!

Best money spent

Pirate adventure

Our kids found a brochure for a pirate cruise while at breakfast. That one was sold out so we did a Google search and found the Children’s Pirate Adventure in Murrel’s Inlet. So glad! My husband and I were aboard but enjoyed nearly an hour break while our kids (ages 8,6, and 4) were completely enchanted by Pirate Chipper and the captain. Highly recommend and we will be back next time we’re in Myrtle!

Perfect pirates!

Booked this excursion while on vacation.  Fun short day trip with the family. Loved the crew, very knowledgeable and made the trip fun for all.

Fun excursion!

My only complaint was the music coming through the speakers.  It's  so relaxing on the marsh it would have been nice to have some quie moments.  Loved the guide. His info was fun and well presented. The walk on the quiet beach was beautiful.

Nice host. Informational and beautiful trip.

The trip was great. Perfect amount of time and the guide was very knowledgeable about the creatures of the water. 
More of a self driven birding experience
