Highly Recommend! - This was the absolute BEST of decisions and ways to see the low country back waters. The dolphins and wildlife did not disappoint and captain was very knowledgeable as to the habits of the dolphins. The trip was cautious and non-churning for those with boating fears. Highly recommend.

BEST WAY TO TRAVEL - This boat ride is the quintessential experience of Folly Beach. The natural beauty, calm waters, expressive skies with sunset colors, nature, dolphins, birds and lighthouse. Each sight impressive.
Our guide JP added to the whole trip as he expertly glided on the waters pointing out points of interest and answering questions. He provided everything we needed for a smooth trip.
I highly recommend this and being a private tour made it relaxing and romantic!
