Fantastic tour and fantastic captain! Many dolphin sightings, and very accommodating to our 4 year old and airborne hats.
We loved our tour with Captain Luke, he was very knowledgeable with calm personality. We saw around 20 dolphins and a beautiful sunset. 🌅 🐬
Captain Luke was very funny and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed it. We saw plenty of dolphins. Very nice tour.
Captain Luke was very well informed and we learned a lot about the ecosystem. We didn’t know prior to the tour about all of the area history.
Absultely perfect, many dolphins and beautiful views. Your guide was personable, up beat, involved each person on the tour in shaping the topics of his present. Tackled topics of interest without any difficulty. Knew science, history, sociology, and human interest. Highly recommend.
Our Captain was phenomenal! He shared a plethora of information about the marine life, ecosystem, and history. He also had a charming sense of humor. We had a relaxing & enjoyable time on the water.
Very knowledgeable. Capt Luke was a very good tour boat operator. Lots of local knowledge. Easy to find easy to get on
Thanks Nick! We are so glad that you had a great experience with us. We definitely take pride in our location - it is very accessible, right off of Folly Rd. Thanks again!
We saw many dolphins and learned so much about the ecosystem from our captain. Paired with the sunset and the views of the lighthouse this tour shouldn't be missed. It was one of our last stops in Charleston that I'm glad we didn't skip.
Thank you for this wonderful review, Tina! You truly can't beat watching a sunset while out on the water. Combined with the lighthouse and dolphins, it truly is incredible. Thanks again for coming out with us. Cheers!
We saw so many Dolphins. Our tour guide Luke was funny & had our kids laughing while learning so much about the marine life.
We are so glad that you and your fam had a great time out on the water with Captain Luke (and saw so many dolphins)! Thank you for the awesome review, Teresa! We hope to have y'all out again some time.
You will see loads of wildlife on this excursion as well as gain some knowledge about the areas various functions and its history. I thinks most people come for the dolphins and we saw probably over 20. If you come in the summer you’ll probably see new babies. They have a resident population that always hangs out here so I doubt you could ever go and not see dolphins. We also saw lots of birds for any fellow birders out there. My captain, Haley, was very knowledgeable, personable, and friendly.
Thanks for the incredible review Katey! We are so glad that you enjoyed your dolphin trip with Haley (and saw a bunch of dolphins & babies). Seeing all of our native birds is an added bonus as well! We hope you come back and visit us again in the future. Cheers!
