102 THINGS TO DO IN MYRTLE BEACH

10. Boat Cruises

With the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, the numerous boat tours in Myrtle Beach provide a range of entertainment and sightseeing alternatives. From quiet Waterway dinner cruises to exciting casino boat experiences, there is something for every vacationer.

The Big M Casino Boat in Little River travels three miles out to allow for legal, Vegas-styled gaming, while nature friendly dolphin excursions just off the coast connect you with nature.

Professional crews and breathtaking views can make Myrtle Beach boat tours a special part of your vacation, with many visitors returning year after year, taking new generations on tours they previously enjoyed. Live music and dinner packages on the larger boats add to the experience.

All tours are subject to limited capacity and it is advisable to make advanced reservations.

Myrtle Beach Watersports

With locations in both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, visitors are able to enjoy guided dolphin tours without having to travel a great distance from their accommodations. The tours include a scenic tour of the Intracoastal Waterway, Little River Inlet, and finally a quiet encounter with Atlantic Dolphins in their natural habitat. A great outing for all ages, Myrtle Beach Watersports also offers a Dolphin sighting guarantee.

Cap'n Rod's Lowcountry Tours

Area native Capt. Rod Singleton guides visitors on a journey of the beautiful Lowcountry with one of two tours. Choose between the Lighthouse Shell Island Tour or the Plantation River Tour.

Rover Boat Tours

Visitors seeking an informative water tour in an unspoiled setting should look no further than Rover Boat Tours.
