Charleston Harbor Sunset Cruise

Joe_R, Oct 2026

Perfect Sunset Harbor Cruise

Captain Mike and Rhee made our sunset cruise a fantastic experience. Their knowledge of the local waterways with a good mix of humor and flair made the cruise well worth the price. A full two hours of relaxing fun. Boat was clean, well maintained and safe. Sites seen and local insites were beyond expectations. Would recommend to anyone even thinking of such an experience.

City of the Dead The Dark Hauntings of Charleston

Harsh_D, Oct 2026

Fascinating Dark Hauntings Tour

I had a wonderful experience on the Dark Hauntings of Charleston tour! Darien was an excellent guide—very passionate, knowledgeable, and clearly well-researched. She shared fascinating stories and history throughout the tour and made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. Adam also did a great job coordinating everything and making sure the tour went smoothly. I had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Afternoon Schooner Sightseeing Dolphin Cruise on Charleston Harbor

Marlena_D, Sept 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, Sept 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.

Polynesian Fire Luau and Dinner Show Ticket in Myrtle Beach

Amber_M, Sept 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.

Legends in Concert Myrtle Beach Admission

raeannesparrow, Sept 2026

High energy and very...

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, Sept 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.

Private Luxury Yacht Charters, BYOB & Dolphins

Shelby_C, Sept 2026

We were in Charleston on...

We were in Charleston on a girls trip and wanted a more private experience. I cannot say enough positive things about Matt our captain and his cocaptain (I forgot her name but she was wonderful). They were so welcoming and attentive. We were so excited to be there, see dolphins, and get some cool photos. Sometimes people can be very annoyed with that amount of enthusiasm- they were not at all. So so wonderful and made us feel so safe & able to have a great time! Cannot recommend enough.

Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse

Was a beautiful trip through the local estuaries. Lots of wildlife to bee seen and enjoyed time to walk along the embankment adjacent to the lighthouse. Trip was a good length of time, not too long, not too short. Thanks Jacob for being a great captain and tour guide!

Extremely entertaining and informative tour

It’s a must do if you are visiting Charleston. The company does a great job of taking care of their horses and their guides - specifically Miike - very knowledge and extremely entertaining. We could not stop laughing the entire time. My husband and I would recommend this tour to everyone and would do the tour again on our next visit to Charleston. I give the tour A+.
