Utilizing the Clarkson-Kruskal direct method, the symmetry of the (2 + 1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equation is derived. From which, through solving the characteristic equations, four types of the explicit reduction solutions that related the hyperbolic tangent function are obtained. Finally, several soliton excitations are depicted from one of the solutions.
