Details

Little River, South Carolina, where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the Atlantic, offers more than just quiet coastal charm—it’s the playground for Myrtle Beach Tikis, a local outfit redefining waterside recreation with a focus on laid-back social cruises. This isn’t about hurried tours or packed party boats; it’s about immersive connection with the Lowcountry’s waterways alongside good company, craft cocktails, and the slow-moving rhythm of salt air and sun.

Myrtle Beach Tikis offers a range of themed trips, each with a distinct vibe that suits a mix of solo travelers, couples, and groups keen to unwind on the water. The Midday Mixers set the tone for afternoon escape, a breezy way to break from routine with light refreshments and casual conversation aboard comfortably outfitted tiki boats. Inlet Island Excursion invites passengers to drift through scenic marsh inlets where salt marsh grasses and fiddler crabs thrive, showcasing a quieter side of coastal life.

As the sun slides west, the Sunset Tiki Cruise and Happy Hour Cruise mirror that magical golden-hour glow with specialty drinks served tiki-style, making it easy to lose track of time watching sky and water color-shift. And for those who want to keep things lively, the Bar Hop tour navigates key waterfront stops, balancing boating with local nightlife, capturing the festive spirit unique to this South Carolina corridor.

What sets Myrtle Beach Tikis apart is their intimate scale and genuine connection to the Little River environment—where coastal ecosystems meet a welcoming small-town vibe. These outings provide an active yet relaxed way to appreciate the waterways without straying far from shore. Whether it’s your first visit or a repeat journey, this hands-on approach to South Carolina’s coastal recreation invites you to tune into the natural rhythms of the area and savor each moment on the water.
