Our group of 6 absolutely loved this tour. Captain Ryan was fantastic. He is fun and full of knowledge. We loved the boat ride looking at wildlife and cruising through the low country. The stop at Morris Island was really nice as we had time to walk around and explore. Charleston Outdoor Adventures was a great group to work with. We highly recommend and will use them again when in the area.

Our experience was superb. Our tour guide was very intriguing, and made the tour great, because he shared insightful information of the marsh, vegetation, and wildlife. We also were able to watch dolphins, which was a plus.

The Eco Marsh Tour was so awesome. Tripp was our guide and made the tour so enjoyable, and you could feel his passion for the area and conservation. We saw dolphins up close and learned much more about the wild life. Thank you COA and Tripp for such a great tour
