Traveler reviews
The trip was very...
The trip was very enjoyable. The location and old buildings made the trip more authentic. The office staff were very nice and helpful. Our guide Jacob, was very good and his knowledge of the area and wild life was very informative. The small tour group size enabled everyone to be engaged. We would take this tour again and also do the kayak adventure. Good job.
So many dolphins!
Matt was super knowledgeable. He explained so many interesting things about the TONS of dolphins that we saw, how they fed, how they slept, how they hunted. We loved Morris Island and found a couple of sharks teeth. 10/10, for sure.
Highly recommended
We had a wonderful time with Captain John. He had lots of knowledge of the area and customized the experience to meet our groups interests.
Scenic views and seashell seekers
This tour is totally worth it the boat is covered which is very nice from the sun and the ride is very informative as well as scenic. You see all kinds of birds and dolphins napping and playing along the way. Captain Chris is full of all the right information with just the right amount of humor to keep you laughing. Morris Island is full of shells and all sorts of things to sort through. Well worth the drive to the middle of nowhere it's beautiful and quiet. Would highly recommend.
Great tour
Our captain, Matt, was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the estuary and Morris Island. He made it possible for us all to see the dolphins in the area. The kids loved searching for shark teeth, and one found a tooth.
