Our Newest Adventure on the Water: The Dolphin Cruise

One of the most fun and unique things you can do in Myrtle Beach is take a dolphin cruise, and Uncharted Waters now offers one of the best in the area!

This 2-hour tour takes you on a ride through the historic fishing village of Little River, then out into the Atlantic Ocean where you’ll search for wild bottlenose dolphins. Along the way, you might spot sea turtles, jellyfish, stingrays, and other marine life too.

Halfway through the trip, the boat makes a stop at one of our nearby uninhabited islands where guests can hop off and explore, dip their feet in the water, or look for seashells and tidepool creatures.

The atmosphere is fun, casual, and family-friendly, with a knowledgeable crew to lead the way. It’s not just a dolphin tour, it’s a full experience that brings together the best of coastal sightseeing, wildlife, and time on the water.
