This was such a fun family activity! The boat ride was super fun, we saw lots of dolphins, birds and fish and the stop on the island was great! We got to play in the sand, collect shells, explore and got lots of fun pictures. Captain Dallas was AWESOME!! Such a fun experience and we all said it was one of our favorite activities when visiting Charleston.

Captain Craig offered excellent narration of flora, fauna and science of area/ tour. Only constructive criticism is the tour itself and that going to Morris island you are just walking around a desolate and protected beach for about 45 minutes. Seems like a waste. Bring light chairs and snacks/ beverages during lunch time.
