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.

ECO Boat Cruise in Charleston to Morris Island is a MUST!!! - One of the highlights of our beach trip for sure. Matt was our guide and we learned a lot about the eco ocean system. We saw several dolphins and got to watch them play. Lots of different birds as well. Morris Island was beautiful and we found shark teeth, crabs, gorgeous shells and I even found a sand dollar. Would def do this again! Take a bag to put shells in if you go.
