A Fun Day at Castaway’s! - We had a fabulous experience on the Fossil Excursion with Captain Luke! We learned so much history about Morris Island and the surrounding waters. The dolphins were very fascinating, and the stories of Chubby (the dolphin) were so entertaining! The staff were very friendly. We would highly recommend this tour!

🐬🐬🐬 - We loved Captain Luke. He’s a marine biologist who was able to captivate us with facts. I’m not into science and he made it fun. We saw over 20 dolphins, he helped my kids find several sand dollars, and he helped us an unexpected surprise. Before we walked around the lighthouse area, he snuck me some shark’s teeth. I was able to quickly hide them and let my kids find them. Who does that? We also got to see John B’s house from Outer Banks and areas where Glory was filmed. Was an amazing day. Highly recommend!
