    Ghost tour review

    Great experience touring the inlet

    via Tripadvisor

    Very enjoyable out your...

    Very enjoyable our tour guide was exceptional. He was funny and informative. My only suggestion would be to make it a longer excursion so we could hear more stories

    Response from the operator: Sounds like a great evening spent on the water, Karin- so good it left you wanting more! Thanks for joining us and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to our narrator on that trip. Hope to see you again for another adventure soon.

    We’ll always have crab boy…

    The ghost stories were told by a nice enough gentleman but he was a poor story teller, and the whole thing was laughably inept. It was a pleasant enough boat ride at night but the only entertainment was us laughing at the poor dude trying to relate stories of local legends, like crab boy. They were mostly incoherent. A complete waste of money. But our family will never not find the mention of crab boy funny so there is that ..

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the storytelling portion of the cruise didn't meet your expectations. Our Ghosts & Legends Cruise is designed to blend local folklore, history, and time on the water, and we understand that storytelling styles can be subjective. We appreciate your comments and will use them as we continue refining the experience. While many guests have enjoyed hearing local tales like Drunken Jack, Alice Flagg and the legend of Crab Boy, we recognize that not every presentation will resonate with every audience. We're glad your family at least enjoyed the evening on the water—and it sounds like Crab Boy may have earned a permanent place in your family memories!

    Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Myrtle Beach.

    How much does Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Myrtle Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Myrtle Beach is not rushed.

    Is Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Myrtle Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Myrtle Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Myrtle Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Myrtle Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Myrtle Beach?

    +

    Myrtle Beach runs dolphin cruises, deep sea fishing charters, helicopter flights over the Grand Strand, and low country day trips to Charleston and Brookgreen Gardens. Charter boat size and included gear are the deciding factors offshore. On Outty we rank every Myrtle Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Waccamaw River Nature and Wildlife Tour, The Escape Game at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, Original Motown Tribute Show. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Myrtle Beach?

    +

    April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Myrtle Beach?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What happens to Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Myrtle Beach. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Murrells Inlet Ghost Cruise Legends and Lores of the Lowcountry?

    +

    Across 5 reviews averaging 4.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide, good for families. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
