Reviews of Myrtle Beach Dolphin Sightseeing Cruises

Exceeded my expectations

We went on this cruise hoping to see dolphins not knowing if 2:30 on an april saturday was a good time to expect to see much however the trip was fabulous, we seen several dolphins!! This crew was very personable, friendly and the captain was engaging as well. The ride was so relaxing with views along the waterway and while i was a little worried about the part taking us into the ocean, due to motion sickness, the captain drive the boat in a way that no one got sick that day and there were some good size waves i might add. It was a great way to spend time on the water and i would spend the money and do it again the next time we are in the area. Keep doing what you are doing and keep the staff who ran the 2:30 dolphin cruise on 4/13, they we the best.

It was awesome!!! Such a beautiful boat ride out to the ocean with beautiful homes including vana whites home. My kids loved seeing all the dolphins jump by our boat, there were tons of them very nice trip for our vacation.

Awesome trip! We loved the crew and captain’ ssaw many dophins’the kids and adults loved this adventure surprise i planned for them’ kelp it a secret ‘from everyone till that morning’had to let the adults in on it’for time wise! ??????You will love it!

Got to see many dolphins, including babies. The captain was very knowledgeable and pleasant, even though it was 79 degrees i forgot to bring a sweater - was a bit chilly!

Enjoyed the cruise but didn’t realize we would be on the coastal waterway so long. Great experience

Great trip! Dolphins were plentiful and active. Waters were a little too rough for me. I deal with motion sickness and it definitely presented itself during the cruise.

1. Great staff/team running the cruise 2. Saw a ton of dolphins 3. Great boat trip even if we had not seen dolphins

It's a very large double-decker boat. So, while there is no intimacy with the experience it is still a nice ride. We saw no dolphins, but the captain did extend the time and obviously covered a lot of water in his effort.

This cruise was amazing. The staff was so sweet and patient with my 3 autistic children. The captain also made them feel like captains of the ship as well. My daughter enjoyed her birthday surprise and because of this tour she now believes dolphins are real. Can’t wait to come aboard again.

A very pleasant boat ride on a beautiful day. Not only did we see dolphins as promised, one of the crew caught a baby shark which we were able to touch and get pictures up close. The crew was very helpful and friendly. Money well spent on a very enjoyable adventure.

Crew was amazing and we had a great time. So worth it! Pricing is reasonable as well.

Comfortable cruise. You can bring your own snacks or buy theirs. You will see dolphins!

We enjoyed our cruise very much, even though we saw only a few dolphins. The crew did a great job, and the views made the trip worthwhile. We would definitely do it again, although maybe during the spring or summer, and at a different time of day.

Trip was fine and crew were great but it was hard to see sometimes when we were out in the ocean.

We thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin watch cruise. The crew was determined to find some for us and we were not disappointed! Will go again!

The crew was very friendly and engaged all of the people that boarded. The unfortunate though understandable occurrence of not seeing any dolphins was rather disappointing for the first time visiting the area. Overall, the cruise was nice.

Was disappointed not to see any dolphins. I know there are no guarantees. Also, boat had issues and had to go back to port which caused a half hour delay. There was a school group on the boat that was not well supervised. Kids running around and screaming. Looked like one kid was going to fall off top deck. Finally, crew members intervened. So loud could not hear captain.

From ordering tickets online to the trip its self, everything was easy & enjoyable. Other than the 7 or 8 heavy people taking up 3 seating spaces & not offering to move over when so many people were needing a seat, it was a great trip.

Even though we did not see any dolphins the cruise was wonderful. The boat crew were very friendly and fun .

The dolphin cruise was a lot of fun and the captain and crew were very informative and great with the guests on the boat! Would definitely do this again!

So much more than we expected. Crew had a great sense of humor and truly wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. Saw lots of dolphins even 1 week post hurricane.

We had a blast. Would recommend to anyone

Awesome time can't wait to go back.

Cruise was wonderful. The children saw 1 dolphin but they enjoyed the outing.

It was a great trip, we could not watch any dolphins during the tour as the hurricane was approaching. But the crew definitely tried their best, the ride was from a dock in north myrtle beach to atlantic ocean. Worth the money spent.

Truly enjoyed our cruise for dolphins. Even though we didn’t see any the day we went, the weather was absolutely beautiful. Totally enjoyed captain and his crew making it fun. We did watch them feed the birds, and pointing out vanna whites home.

It was a fun cruise. It would have been better if we saw at least one dolphin. The sunset was nice. Long slow ride just to get to the ocean.

Had a great time even though we didn’t see dolphins the crew was fantastic esp getting and helping my wheelchair bound mil on and off the boat will def go again!!!

Nice boat ride but we did not see any dolphins. We were disappointed that there was not more commentary on what we were seeing along the way and the wildlife that exists in the ocean and along the marshes that we passed by.

I was disappointed when a customer started throwing empty beer bottles and diapers in the ocean. When i told the ship mate, jd, about it, he went out of his way to make sure i and my husband knew that he had better things to worry about than dealing with a customer throwing diapers in the ocean. I realize it wasn't the shiplines fault, but he could have said literally anything else, and i'd have been fine.

I had a wonderful experience, the family enjoyed it as well. We did see dolphins which was so enjoyable. The only thing that annoyed my husband and i was as we were coming into the dock the men came around with a tip jar just about put it in your lap looking for a tip. I thought it was inappropriate. As a whole though we enjoyed the trip.

The trip in general was great, the kids had a lot of fun and the boat captain made the journey interesting telling us about the sights we passed. However we unfortunately did not see any dolphins. I guess some people up front/ up top spotted a couple at one point but they did not stick around and no one in our area of the deck got to see them.

We had an awesome tour. The crew worked hard to make sure we saw dolphins and we did! Dozens of them. Wonderful experience.

We saw a couple of dolphins for a brief moment. A palmetto bug fell onto me from an opening in the upper area of the boat....

We saw a few dolphins on our tour. The captain was very nice and it was neat to see the inter-coastal waterway but it took a really long time to get out to the ocean from the launch spot. So a lot of the cruise is just getting to the ocean and getting back. There is a faster boat i noticed that passed us while we were out that might be a better option if you are limited on time! All in all we still had a good time!

It was a great trip. We were a little disappointed we didn't see any dolphins. The crew was very nice and helpful.

This cruise truly made our vacation complete. We love the beach but also love the other experiences we can’t get anywhere else! The crew was friendly and made the experience a once in a lifetime memory for me and my family.

The boat ride itself was very nice, but we (16 of us) were disappointed that we did not see any dolphins. We understand they are wild and not guaranteed, but we were still disappointed. But the staff was very gracious.

Crew was great, but didn't see a single dolphin. First time to ocean for my family and was told by many people to take the myrtle beach dolphin cruise. Wish we would have seen something but just didn't happen on our trip.

The cruise was very nice did not get to see anything but the sunset was beautiful, the only complaint i would have is that from the start of the ride to the ocean the inlet was almost 4 to 5 miles long so 75 of the trip was just spent in the inlet not the ocean.

We vacationed with 5 adults and two children and the dolphin tour was a highlight of our trip. Each of us clapped and squealed with joy when we saw the dolphins pop up out of the water! Just awesome. Be sure to go!

It was a good experience for my family. The captain of the boat was funny and informative during our excursion. My only regret was not sitting in the front of the boat ( we sat on the right side) since you got a better view of the dolphins. We came on board and all the sitting areas were wet from the crew cleaning the boat which i'm glad they did, but they could have dried up the areas knowing that we had an excursion scheduled for 2:30 pm. No one in the crew gave us paper towels, but another passenger went inside the galley to get them and shared with us. We were so preoccupied with drying an area to sit, than looking for a good spot. The left side and front of the boat got to spend more time looking at dolphins than the right side which we were sitting on until the captain turn the boat and we got like 5 minutes to get a good look.

My family had a great time on the dolphin cruise

My family and i went on this cruise last week. It was a wonderful cruise with great staff. Very informative and we saw about 40 to 50 dolphins around our boat! It was awesome!

We loved it! We took our daughter down for her 18th birthday and graduation present. She took a friend as well. We all had a good time. Captain was very informative and funny. Actually saw dolphins too! Would definitely recommend.

Cruising the atlantic ocean in myrtle beach chasing dolphins is a must. Captain was funny an the experience awesome

Great trip! Worth your money, got the buy one get one free deal!

Our family had a great time! Crew was very knowledgeable and the surroundings were beautiful! Of course we loved seeing the dolphins too!

Fun day out on the cruise on our vacation. The crew were knowledgeable and friendly. I can't wait to go back.

Great experience i should have listened better as thought life jackets were under our seats(not that they were needed) but were instead inside the enclosed seating area evidently

My children had a blast on the trip. They weren’t sure we were going to see any dolphins but we did! It was just so much fun riding on the boat and seeing the ocean from a different point of view! Next year we plan to go again and do a private charter!!! The crew was very friendly and professional!

Absolutely everything we were hoping for. Took the grand boys ages 6 and 8. They loved it, would definitely recommend it for any age. We were so lucky, saw family's of dolphins.

Great cruise...Great captain...They wished my 10 year old grandson happy birthday and let him go onto the top and the captain was awesome showed him how he works the boat. My grandson was so happy. All the crew was so nice. I have recommended this cruise to a lot of people.

This was a very relaxing & enjoyable sightseeing cruise. And when when got out into the ocean to the dolphins, we didn't just see a couple dolphins, we saw 15-20 of them. It was amazing!! Totally exceeded our expectations!

Captain was great!, water was rough once we got out in the ocean but the captain took good care of everyone and made sure they were safe! Great views and very informative!

This ship was smooth and fun. Even though we didn't see any dolphins due to the water being very choppy we did see lots of other stuff like ships that were banked and destroyed by hurricanes. The kids had a great time and when we called to get a free return trip due to no sighting there was no 3rd degree. We were told you may go again any time this season.

We had an amazing time on the dolphin cruise. We actually got to see an entire family of dolphins. Being the kids 1st time going to the ocean this was an awesome learning experience as well. I recommend this activity to anyone especially to get to see ocean life in their actual habitats.

Great time, captain and crew were friendly and helpful.

A captain and crew were so wonderful and we got to see a lot of dolphins out there my granddaughter enjoy the whole cruise

The ride through the international waterway was beautiful! When we got to the open water waters, the ocean was extremely choppy and our captain made the decision to turn back fo everyone's safety, so we didn't get to see any dolphins but i really didnt even mind! I loved the crew members as they were all so kind and funny and caring! At one point, my 2 year old son started fussing (i was without my husband) and one of the crew men came over and picked him up for a second. Very sweet!

Definitely recommend

We had a wonderful time on the dolphin cruise!!! We will absolutely go again. The captain of the boat was super nice and informed us on the sightseeing’s around us. The other staff members on the cruise were so nice as well.

It was a great experience and the family had fun.

Awesome cruise. Seen many dolphins. We even got to witness a babi jump out of the water. The captain and crew were awesome and very knowledgeable.

Had a great time crew was great.Didnt see any dolphins but still had alot of fun.

The best crew i have ever witnessed. They were polite and helpful. Never seemed annoyed or rushed to leave or get back. Funny but not corny. Didnt overpromise and under execute. We saw around 15 dolphins on our excursion and had a great time as a 10 year wedding anniversary present to my wife!

Had a great cruise. Saw couple dozen dolphins and family had a ball and got pictures. Highly recommend taking this cruise

We totally enjoyed the cruise! Even though we did not see any dolphins it was an amazing adventure! Thank you!

We had a great time on the dolphin cruise and got to see alot of dolphins ! Really enjoyed it ! The sunset was beautiful also !

Was a great outing for our family. The price was just right and we saw dolphins! The captain was fun and very informative. Will definitely recommend to others.

I didn't give it 5 stars because we didn't see a dolphin, but the boat ride was fantastic. Loved riding the waves and site seeing the intercoastal waterways. Great trip. Would recommend it and would definitely return.

What a fantastic trip.From picking up the tickets , what a great person to speak with ,he was very detailed and enjoyable to talk to ,to the dolphin cruise , which was great. The price was great , the crew was friendly, it was nice that we could bring snacks.And the ride,it may not have been as fast as some of the tours in the area but i can bet we saw many more dolphins.

Awesome!

Loved the fact that we were able to see dolphins close to the boat. We had a lot of fun scouting them with the crew and enjoyed the boat ride out of the canal and back seeing the sights along the way.

Nice trip but we didn't see any dolphins...

Excellent and relaxing cruise / will plan to do it again.

The staff was all amazing. The cruise was perfect for the rainy day we were having!

Had a great time. Crew was awesome

This was a very nice boat trip. We seen lots of dolphins. The captain was very informative about explaining lots of different facts during our ride about the dolphins, the ocean or the sights on the way.

Experience was good. Was no ac that was said it was supposed to have in the cabin. I like the option to vuy drinks on the boat. We did see dolphins. Overall it was a good time.

The boat was fun. The crew was great,!!! Be prepared to get wet!

Very enjoyable. Will do it again! Would recommend!

Transaction and customer service were great! Would definitely use them again! Highly recommend!!

We loved the ride out there and relaxing on way back in. Hey nice

Cruise was fun. We saw a lot of dolphins. The crew were great too, especially when i started feeling bad

Dolphin cruise was a great time. Crew members were awesome and the dolphins were amazing.

Great experience!

Incredible views and you get to see a lot of sea creatures!

We briefly saw a couple dolphins as they were swimming away.

Everyone agrees, seeing the dolphins was the favorite part of our vacation! Would do it again!

We only spent 10 minutes of the 2 hour cruise spotting dolphins.

The captain was amazing and so was the cruise. It was beautiful out on the ocean and seeing dolphins in their natural habitat!

Great! Got to see dolphins as soon as we got to the open sea!

It was so much fun and i enjoyed spending time with my friends. All of the crew was nice and helpful. The whole ride was very enjoyable and i would go again. It was extremely scenic and i loved every second!

Great experience, enjoyed the boat ride along with the scenery. We did see dolphins!!!!!

Good trip to enjoy with the family...

The boat was pretty packed and the cruise only actually lasted 2 hours, but it was a nice ride and the staff was nice.

Only was good and ship was clean

My wife and i had a great time. The captain and crew were very professional and friendly! Would recommend this to anyone!

The crew was absolutely wonderful. The trip was beautiful and we were thrilled to see so many dolphins!

Loved the dolphin cruise! It was a great family outing and we all really enjoyed it! The bonus was the great photo plaque to take home at a minimal cost! Thank you for a great memory.

We seen dolphins on this cruise but even if we had not seen them i would have been just as happy with the sunset on the way back. This is definitely one cruise that i will be taking again. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Had such a wonderful boat ride and saw lots of dolphins. Great birthday present since i'm such a dolphin lover! Will definitely do it again if i'm in the area. Great crew also!

I could not believe how well educated the staff was and how wonderfully they shared with everyone! They scooped out a jellyfish and shared and we saw a pod of about 8 dolphins. It was great!!!

Getting to see the dolphins was great but the boat ride there and back was long and boring. It was hot and the kids got whiny because it was such a long ride.

The tour was awesome !

Cruise was really great! Great atmosphere, fun and friendly captain and crew. We saw some awesome dolphins! I highly recommend

The captain & crew were awesome! Super fun & helpful. Grwat experience finding the dolphins & being out on the boat at sea. Loved the commemorative photo!

We had an amazing time on the cruise. The only thing i'd say that needed to be fix is that the driver needs to announce that when we stop the boat does go side to side and everyone needs to wait till it stops before going on one side.

I had a great time on the tour. Was lucky enough to see many dolphins that evening. The crew was very nice and the captain did an awesome job. I will for sure do it again the next time i'm in that area. Thank you for a rememberable trip !!

The crew of the boat was excellent we got to see quite a few different groups of dolphins

It wasn't the fault of the crew but it ended up being a lousy weather day with rain for much of our trip. Seas were quite rocky entering the atlantic but we saw some dolphins up close.

No complaints. Enjoyed the music and captain bill and his mate oscar were very hospitable. Would definitely book another trip in the future.

Very enjoyable with successful sighting of dozens of dolphins. May do this again if we return to myrtle beach.

We had a great time. Got to see several dolphins and the crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone else.

We got to see dolphins following a shrimp boat. It was exciting for all.

Had a good time

Cruise was fun. Crew was nice and helpful

We were overly thrilled with this it was one of our favorite things we did during our honeymoon! At first we didnt think we would see any dolphins but once we got out there we actually saw quite a few, we would do it again in a heartbeat when we go back. I am currently pregnant and figured i would get motion sick and even with it being choppy out that day i wasnt at all thankfully. We loved at the end when we got our picture they took and the personal message they put on there.

The only negative thing i would like to share is the fact they take photos before you get on the boat & i specifically told them i did not want photo taken. The young man said that if i did not have photo the boat crew would essentially not allow me on boat until photo was taken! That is absolutely ridiculous.

The crew was really super nice! A very enjoyable excursion!

Very nice people. Had a beautiful trip! No dolphins to be seen but great views.

We had a wonderful trip. Family fun for ages 4 and up.

This trip was fantastic. Fun, exciting and recommended for everyone.

Great experience with a great crew

Great time. I will be going again next time i am down that way!

Beautiful day. Didn't really see many dolphins. Crew was great!

Nice, very nice ????????

We had an amazing time on this tour. Reasonable price. The crew was fantastic. They totally made us feel welcome and were appreciative of us being with them. They went out of their way to interact with everyone especially the children. I would definitely recommend this tour

Great experience and the crew was personable and fun. As promised, we saw dolphins, many of them. The ride prior and after the dolphin seeing was very laid back and we got to see an american bald eagle as well as some beautiful homes on the water. If we ever come back, we would do this again!

The cruise was great fun, with the crew very attentive to passengers having a good time while ensuring safety of all aboard

We had a fabulous time. Thank you for providing a way that me and my family could enjoy getting away together to spend some time with each other????. Praise the lord!!!

It was an awesome boat ride. We were not able to see dolphins on our cruise. But felt the boat ride was still worth it.

A wonderful family experience! My family had the best time on this trip! Thank you!

Absolutely what we expected! Thank you!

Awesome cruise, not a tiny boat and was really great!

The people were very professional and the sights of the dolphins were amazing

The crew i will give 5 stars to. My only complaint is if the captain says winds picked up maybe the trip should have be canceled. High winds rough water = no dolphins. So this is is my reason for 3 stars

We saw lots of dolphins. We were in rough water, but that added to the adventure of the experience. The crew members were very attentive and informative.

Perfect afternoon.

Enjoyed the cruise even though we didn't’t see any dolphins it was still a nice ride. My grand kids loved the large waves as we went out into the ocean. Met some nice folks. Personnel were friendly. Would go again at a later date.

The cruise was fun but i thought it was a little too long. We were told that dolphin like shallower water, so i was not real sure why we went out into the rough oceans. We only saw a few dolphin, but when we saw them, it was in the intercoastal areas. The crew was very friendly and the boat itself very tidy.

I can say that being in the boat was relaxing. It was very choppy the day we went out, so unfortunately we did not get to see any dolphins. That was a bit disappointing, but i do understand there was nothing more that the captain could have done. Our group was offered another ride for free, but unfortunately we were leaving the next morning and could not take that offer. I would definitely do it again. The only thing i didn't’t like was that we weren’t physically shown where the life jackets were and how to actually put them on. That should definitely be apart of the safety precautions.

Enjoyed the trip, although there were no dolphin's that evening. The price was good, enjoyed the ocean view and the sunset was beautiful, especially for a senior couple on our anniversary day!!

This was my favorite thing we did in myrtle beach. Staff was courteous and it made for aa really enjoyable afternoon

Mom's and i really enjoyed the boat ride. Was told by the captain that the dolphins were not seen for a week prior to our visit and every, including the crew were happy to see them again.

Haven't seen so many dolphins before. I know they used 'feed' to attract the dolphins, but as long as they are not harming them, i am fine. Was fun. Feltsafe and is economical. Staff is friendly.

It was awesome! My only complaint is there were not enough seats for everyone but we really enjoyed standing at the rail and looking at the water. My sons wanted to go back the next day!

We had an amazing time. It was myself, my fella, and three children 6,7, and 11. It was like riding a roller coaster on the rough waters but that made it so fun. We all had a blast and it never got so rough that i was worried about a kid falling off or anything. I highly recommend anyone doing it. It's very affordable especially for a family of 5.

I enjoyed the cruise a lot, i didn't’t see any dolphins. But i purchased a shark sandwich, the first in my life and it was delicious. Also the crew was great as well as informative. 2.5hrs was a bit long, but overall it was a blast!!!

It was an amazing trip and the boaters made it even an even better experience. My wife was so excited to see as many dolphins as we got to see. We will be doing it again sometime in the future!
