Dolphin Adventure Cruise in Myrtle Beach
We depart from North Myrtle Beach, SC located on the Intercoastal Waterway. Join us on a cruise down the Waterway passing through the Historic Little River Swing Bridge. During the cruise, we see all types of Marine Bird life including Seagulls, Pelicans, Osprey’s and Bald Eagles. It’s a beautiful scenic cruise down the Waterway towards Little River Inlet, the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean. We always keep a lookout for the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin as we cruise along. When we reach the ocean side, we will locate the Dolphins behind the Shrimp Boats dragging their nets for some great photos. Weather permitting, we will pull a small net behind our vessel hauling Marine Life such as shrimp, crabs, fish, sea urchins, seahorses, sand dollars, seashells, sting rays, and baby sharks. Often times, the Shrimp Boats hand us a bag of Marine Life when they haul back their nets for our crew to show everyone on board.
This 2½ Hour Sunset Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise is an exciting marine adventure for all! This is the trip where you can also enjoy the beautiful Carolina sky as the sun is setting during your cruise. We travel up the intercoastal waterway and out to the inlet area. The dolphins we come across are wild animals in their natural habitat, and as a result, are not caged.
This is a spectacular cruise and boat ride on a very large comfortable vessel with 2 decks, 2 bathrooms, and a large indoor snack bar* area with restaurant style booth seating. The boat will cruise at a comfortable speed and is not considered a rough ride. The Captains know where to go look for the dolphins and will put every effort into finding them. This is an inexpensive entertaining attraction which is good for any age and a great experience for the whole family to enjoy.
You can purchase food and beverages at the snack bar or you are welcome to bring a small personal sized cooler with your own food and beverages.
