Guide was great! She was wonderful about answering questions and seemed to really love her job. We saw lots of dolphins playing and had plenty of time on the island.

It was such a cool little trip. The captain was telling us lots of facts about the area, plants and animals, stopped whenever we saw dolphins so that we can take pictures. We also had an hour of free time at the Morris island to walk around, pick up shells and just have fun. We took a 8 am tour and it was a perfect decision considering the hot summer weather. Would definitely recommend taking this tour!

It sounds like you had a wonderful time on the tour! Having a captain who shares interesting facts about the area and stops for dolphin sightings adds so much to the experience. The free time on Morris Island to explore and collect shells must have been a real highlight, and the early morning start sounds like the perfect way to beat the summer heat. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the trip and appreciate your recommendation!
