We were in Charleston for my daughters 21st birthday. She picked our activities and this by far was the best. Purchase was made through their party website as a 3rd party site had issues. The check in was seamless Capt Craig was super informative and spent time pointing our things, dolphins and talking about the area and its history. The trip was not rushed and everyone on board complemented him on his attention to our enjoyment.

What an awesome trip! Dallas was an awesome captain! Among all of the dolphin sightings, we saw two pair of mommy and baby dolphins. We also saw several bird species as well as stone crabs. From the marshes, beach, and lighthouse; the entire tour was well worth it. FYI bring water or you can purchase water in the office.
