Activity itinerary

Bird Island

  • 15m
Hop off the boat for a quick stop at Bird Island. Here you will be able to explore the undeveloped beaches of the nature preserve, swim, or just feel the sand between your toes. Bird Island is the only remaining undeveloped barrier island system in Brunswick County and is one of the few protected natural island areas in the mid-Atlantic region. It has pristine sandy white beaches, high dunes, more than 1000 acres of beautiful salt marsh and meandering creeks, and is home to a wide variety of birds, animals and plants.

Governor's Lighthouse (Pass by)

Pass by the beautiful governors lighthouse, the only lighthouse in Horry county. A local landmark, located in the small fishing village of Little River, SC the governors lighthouse was commissioned in 1984. It was built to honour all South Carolina governors past and present. The lighthouse is a facsimile lighthouse, meaning it cannot be used a navigation aid.

Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens (Pass by)

Pass by the historical gardens as you sail out to sea. Tucked away in Little River, just north of North Myrtle Beach, Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens offers a serene escape into nature and a journey through history. This 115-acre park is one of the Grand Strand's true hidden gems — ideal for families, pet owners, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure, tranquility, or both. This county-run park has no admission fee, making it a great, free activity for any age and must-visit destination for both locals and visitors.

Myrtle Beach Yacht Club (Pass by)

Nestled in Coquina Harbour, Myrtle Beach Yacht Club is a prestigious marina, home to some of the most expensive boats in the area. Coquina Harbour is the second largest harbour in South Carolina.

Waites Island

  • 15m
Take a quick stop at one of the two barrier islands after you return from sea. One of these islands is called Waites Island. Waties Island is one of the last undeveloped barrier islands in South Carolina. This means it’s a beach parallel to the coast separated by a bay and the best part is there’s no construction or building on it, just pure wildlife.
