Southern Shores Island and Dolphin Cruises — Local services in North Myrtle Beach

This was a surprise for my children. Next time, I plan to tell them if we are getting on a boat! However, the snacks and drinks made them feel totally OK. They even have a little potty down below if your children need to go. The ride it's self was great. The Captain and his helper Jackson was great. Jackson had many stories of growing up in the area and things he has seen out on the waters. We did get to see one dolphin 🐬 but mostly just it's fin. We were there on a day with some choppy waters so we had to turn around but that's totally OK because I would like to stay safe. The island was neat and found some cool shells and dead jellyfish which was neat. We went at sunset and the beach was beautiful! The cruise had it all. Friendly employees, snacks and drinks including alcohol, a bathroom, great views, knowledgeable staff, fun music to listen to, they even had people dancing by the end. Only thing I wasn't prepared for was getting off the boat to the island, be sure to NOT wear shoes with socks. The water will most likely get above your knees and even get your bottoms wet. I also wasn't prepared for waves haha. Waves are like tickle hills on a road. They tickle your tummy, but they keep coming. It was a great trip and a fun memory me and my kids will remember for...

Can I please give more than 5-stars???

Yes, the booth was unexpected, but we were greeted by Mr. Chip with a huge smile and laughs right from the time we checked in.

The only negative is that Forrest wouldn't share his Spotify playlist with us! It was seriously the best soundtrack for this type of trip!

The father/son duo was so much fun to witness and they took great care of us to ensure we had a memorable time, even going well out of their normal distance to make sure we saw dolphins and "South Miami Beach" (Way to go Mr. Chip, you got her good!)

They made sure we were all safe as they spotted lightning in the distance while we were off-boarding on Bird Island for our excursion and quickly got us all back on to head back to the dock.

It was a memorable trip as we couldn't out-pace the storm and the father and son duo committed to our safety (and their own) but still had so much fun with us as the rain and i'm pretty sure that was hail drenched us all!

They sang loud with us (only the 4 of us knew the songs) and just made it the most memorable part of our trip to Myrtle Beach for sure!

I will come back with my family to see you...

What a great experience! Captain Forest made the voyage so worth it with his personality, excitement, jokes, music and overall knowledge of the area

We didn't have good weather say on our side but with his friendly demeanor and love for his job we all still had a great time Saw a bald eagle, pelicans and dolphins!

The boat is so smooth even on the windiest of days like today! We all dressed for the weather and brought in board extra blankets knowing it would be very chilly. The boat is equipped with all you immediate needs including a 1 person restroom! Note to anyone who may not be able to climb down the ladder stairs : it would be wise to fully empty your bladder before getting on board! There is snacks, alcohol and drinks available for purchases onboard.

Loved hanging out on bird island for a bit , even had the opportunity to call over another dolphin sighting while on the island!

Really glad we decided to do this and believe that Forrest really brings the fun! Couldn't imagine anyone better for this job!

Thanks to Capt Forrest and first mate Spencer for your hospitality and enthusiasm! I highly recommend...
