Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse

Kate_B, Sep 2026

A beautiful day out

We really enjoyed our experience with Captain KD. We learned so much about the area and saw so many dolphins. Morris Island was beautiful, we saw some beautiful shells and tons of birds. Make sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, water and a snack if needed. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly. There are two bathrooms at the office but none available during the trip.

Afternoon Schooner Sightseeing Dolphin Cruise on Charleston Harbor

Marlena_D, Sep 2026

Great crew, lots of dolphins, but no wind

This was a great activity. The location was easy to find. We went on a Monday, not sure how that would affect the parking situation, but there was plenty of meter parking available. Before we even left the dock we saw many dolphins. The crew were very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The only downside was there was no wind, which obviously they can not provide 😂. I would do this sail again for sure

Charleston Haunted Jail Night-Time Walking Tour with Admission to Old City Jail

Jennifer_K, Sep 2026

Ask for Sara!

We had a friend visiting from out of town & they wanted to go on a ghost tour. We've gone on ghost tours before that just felt like history lessons so we were not anticipating this to be any different. Sara, however, delivered an impressive mixture of interesting facts, intrigue and haunting chills.

Charleston Harbor Sunset Cruise

Deborah_B, Sep 2026

So much fun!

This tour was one of the best experiences we had on our first trip to Charleston. Captain Robbie and his mate (bartender) Tim shared interesting facts along the way but also provided a lot of fun information and great antics that made this boat ride one we won’t soon forget! Our weather was great and we got to see dolphins! Robbie was available to take pictures of passengers at sunset and even jumped into a few snapshots!! Absolutely terrific evening! I highly recommend!

Polynesian Fire Luau and Dinner Show Ticket in Myrtle Beach

Amber_M, Sep 2026

Great show!

We had a great time at the Luau. The food was good. It’s buffet style Polynesian menu. It was very easy. I traveled with my 95 year old grandmother and I easily was able to go through get her food then come back and get my own. Line was quick. The checkin process was easy. No need to get there early it is not first come first serve as far as where you sit. You have an assigned seat. Now there is premier seating that is a little extra that is not offered on Viator. So if you want close up you will need to buy premier seating from the shows own website. That being said our table was right by the stage but off to the side. It’s not a huge venue and didn’t seem like any seat would be awful. The show was def the best part. It really did feel like a Luau on one of the islands. They were also very engaging with audience and made it really a fun time. The fire show was really amazing. The drums were a bit loud though. But they may have been bc of where we sat. I would def go back. I think all ages can enjoy this show.

High energy and very entertaining. The screens showing the original artist made it easy to recognize the excellent makeup and costuming for the show. The musicians sounded so much like the original that I could close my eyes and be transported back in time!! The location was within easy walking distance to a Mariott Fairfield and a Holiday Inn Express. Loved the convenience. Plan to return for future shows.

Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise

Maureen_C, Sep 2026

Awesome dolphin cruise

We had a great dolphin cruise this afternoon. Our Captain Sarah and First Mate Wendy were awesome. They provided us with a lot of information about the area and also the dolphins that we viewed. We had a wonderful time. We saw quite a few dolphins that were swimming right by our boat. I would definitely book with Low Country Watersports.

Our guide, Kevin, did a great job talking about the historic aspects along the way, and adding in how some of the places have acquired "haunted/ghost" stories. He also did a great job controlling the horse pulling the carriage, who at times seemed to have his own idea about where the tour should go. But all in all, a very enjoyable experience.
