If you're in Myrtle Beach and not hopping on a dolphin cruise, are you even doing Myrtle Beach right? Let me put you on to one of the most exciting things you can do along the Grand Strand—Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruises, located at 4495 Mineola Ave, Little River, SC 29566. This hidden gem is just about 30 minutes north of Myrtle Beach proper, nestled in the peaceful Little River area, which is honestly one of the most scenic stretches of water you’ll find in South Carolina. Now, if you’ve never been on a dolphin cruise before, let me tell you—it’s not just a boat ride. It's an all-out aquatic adventure. 

Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruises has a couple of badass boats in their fleet, but the real star of the show is the Sea Screamer, a bright yellow speedboat that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear as it kicks up the waves. The crew is super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and love what they do—which means you’re in for a good time from the second you step on board. You start off cruising through the Intracoastal Waterway (think peaceful, postcard-worthy views), then you head out into the Atlantic, where the real action begins.

If you’re lucky—and you probably will be—you’ll spot pods of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins splashing around, playing in the wake, and generally showing off like they know they're the stars of the show. These guys are not shy! And don’t be surprised if they swim right up alongside the boat—it's wild. One of the coolest parts is that you’re not just looking at dolphins; you’re learning about them, too. The crew throws in tons of fun facts about dolphin behavior, migration patterns, and how they communicate—so even the science nerd in your group will be pumped. And if you’ve got kids with you, trust me, they’ll be talking about this cruise for weeks. The cruise itself lasts about 90 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time to relax, take a ton of pics, and maybe even sip a cold drink while you're at it. And bonus: You’ll get epic views of the coastline you just can't get from land. 

After the cruise, don’t just hop back in the car—Little River is worth hanging around. There’s a chill, laid-back marina vibe with a bunch of waterfront restaurants where you can grab fresh seafood and a cold beer while you watch the boats drift by. Crab Catchers on the Waterfront is right there and worth a visit—think crab legs, hush puppies, and sunset views that slap. You’re also just a short drive from North Myrtle Beach, which has some cute shops, arcades, and beach bars to explore if you’re not quite ready to call it a day. 

Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend thrill or a visitor trying to soak in every drop of coastal magic, Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruises is a must-do. Between the high-speed ride, the adorable dolphins, and the unbeatable views, it’s one of those experiences that sticks with you. So yeah, add this to your Myrtle Beach bucket list ASAP.
