They have parasailing, banana boat tours, jet skis, pontoon boat rentals, and dolphin tours. Basically, anything that you think you might want to do that involves water, you can do it at Aloha Watersports. They have their activities split between their two locations, so you may have to go to a different site depending on what you want to do. However, both locations are close to each other and are located on North Myrtle Beach (one is on North Ocean Blvd, and the other is on Little Neck River Rd). Another great thing about Aloha Watersports is that they offer package deals. So, if you decide you want to do jet skis and parasail, they offer you a significant discount. The more fun you have, the more money you save. That's a pretty sweet deal, I'd say. https://www.love2livealoha.com/ Blackbeard's Pirate Cruise Who doesn't love pirates, right?

On their website, Alligator Adventure says they are the "reptile capital of the world." After going here, I am inclined to believe that. This place isn't like your typical zoo, and they have a lot more things to see than just alligators, as their name implies. Along with alligators, they also have ostriches, crocodiles, bobcats, mountain lions, macaws, hyenas, snakes, tortoises, and all sorts of birds. They also have these fantastic live shows where you get to experience alligator feeding, alligator handling as well as snake handling.

Be sure to wear clothes you don't mind getting wet or bring a change of clothes. https://www.myrtlebeachdolphincruises.com Captain Smiley Fishing Charters This tour is technically in Little River, SC, but it is only 2.5 miles from the Cherry Grove Beach Pier. It is such an incredible experience I had to include it on this list. If you love fishing but aren't sure where the best spots are, or you want to not have to worry about bringing your own bait, tackle, rods, and reels, etc., then this is the place to check out. You literally just show up, and they handle everything for you. Depending on the day and what fish are biting, you could get everything from Red Fish, Trout, Bonnethead, and Mackerel. If you are more of a spectator and would rather sit back and enjoy everything but not necessarily participate, they also offer sightseeing tours.
