Wonderful excursion worth every penny!!! Don’t hesitate to book it - This was such a fantastic experience! After the 1st day we’ve already recommend it to 2 locals who’ve said they’re going to check it out as well. If you’re on the fence about it don’t hesitate book it! You’ll have a once in a lifetime experience. From learning local and cultural history, to seeing dolphins, endless shelling and photo opportunities of the lighthouse. It’s such a wonderful time. Few tips others made that we took advice from. Wear your sun screen, take a bag to collect your shells in. Almost everyone wore a hat and none of them blew away (can’t guarantee this of course will be the same for all folks) They also have a cooler on board so we stuck our water bottles in them to stay cold. The only thing I wish is if they had Venmo to tip bc we didn’t bring as much cash as we’d liked to have given to show our appreciation for the fantastic service. And from time to time there is a food truck there for you to grab a quick bite before or after which we hit it up and our favorites were the grilled shrimp and the hush puppies are delicious most definitely worth getting!! Hope this helps you make the decision to book and enjoy!

- Amazing views, dolphin sightings, and an inside scoop of the filming of the show Outer Banks, which our 4 teens loved. Our tour guide Luke was knowledgeable, fun and such a cool guy. Our family of 6 had a private tour and Luke sure showed us the beauty of Folly and why he loves doing what he is doing. We make shell mosaics and we hit the jackpot on the trip to Morris Island with the abundance of shells and sand dollars. A great trip to add to anyone’s itinerary!

You have to take this trip! - The best part of my trip to Charleston by far! Luke was a great tour guide, very informative but kept it light hearted. He did everything he could to make sure that everyone on board got the most out of the excursion. Morris island is lovely and peaceful, great for shell collecting and views of the lighthouse. However, nothing beats being up close to the dolphins, not just once but throughout the full boat trip.

Our Afternoon with Caption Luke 😁 - Luke was very knowledgeable about the waters he was taking us through as well as the wildlife in the area. Morris Island was amazing. We found lots of sand dollars and it's was full of sea shells. We saw lots and lots of dolphins even a few new born dolphins. Luke definitely did a fantastic job. We would recommend it to anyone... Love your favorite Phish Phans. Hehe!!

Many memories made on this great experience - Awesome experience! Captain Luke was great and made it a personalized experience for the kids. He even went back to collect my hat that blew away. Exploring the island was awesome and we made many memories. We had the chance to see a slew of dolphins and Captain Luke made sure we got up close. I highly recommend this experience and we will definitely take the excursion again!
