This was a wonderful leisurely cruise through the salt marsh with plenty of opportunities to see dolphins, herons and other birds. We even found a fossilized shark tooth (great white) on the sands of Morris Island. Captain Craig was great. He even helped our 12 year-old grandson find the shark tooth.

What a great time. My family and I took our adventure with Dallas and he was knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We must have seen as least 25 dolphins during the ride and they were so close to the boat. Loads of great local atmosphere and facts about the marsh. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to break up their beach day at Folly. Well worth it!
