“Myrtle Beach is incredibly student-friendly, offering much more than the beach and boardwalk. Our high school group loved the educational experiences, especially the dolphin tour, where students learned about marine life and saw more dolphins than they could count. With attractions, shopping, dining and must-see stops like the aquarium, the students were so busy they wished they had another day to explore!”
