Experience Charleston’s Most Scenic Dolphin Tour:
Join us for a relaxing and unforgettable 2-hour dolphin cruise departing from the iconic Shem Creek Boardwalk in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This family-friendly adventure is perfect for all ages and offers a front-row seat to the beauty, wildlife, and culture of Charleston’s LowCountry waterways.
As we cruise through the tranquil tidal creeks and into Charleston Harbor, you'll witness breathtaking views of barrier islands, salt marshes, and historic landmarks—all while keeping an eye out for the region’s most playful and intelligent marine residents: bottlenose dolphins.
Swimming/Beach Stops:
- To maximize time on the water, swimming or sandbar stops are only included in cruises that are 3 hours or longer.
itinerary: What You’ll See & Experience:
Our expert local captains know the best areas to spot dolphins as they swim, jump, and play near the boat. You may even witness them surf our wake or curiously lift their heads for a peek at the people onboard.
Along the way, we’ll also encounter a variety of South Carolina wildlife, including:
- Birds of prey like ospreys and bald eagles
- Wading birds such as herons and egrets
- Shorebirds, gulls, and terns
- And possibly even sea turtles or rays on the right day!
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, photographer, or just looking for a laid-back activity in Charleston, this tour offers an up-close look at our vibrant coastal ecosystem.
