Dolphins and Shells, What More Could You Ask For?!?!? - Captain Billy was so patient and good with us; eased us in the water while looking for dolphins. We got to see several dolphins, including a momma with her calf! My daughters loved looking for shells on the beach too. They both found full sand dollars and some beautiful shells. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun dolphin expedition.

Best money spent for family activity - We had a wonderful experience on our trip! We saw multiple pods of dolphins, even a few calfs. We found so many shells we had sort through them and put tons back, you’ll be blown away how many shells there are on Morris island. Billy was a great Captain, he was considerate, generous and flexible. Book this cruise, you won’t regret it!
