Nice tour. So many dolphins! Dallas our guide was very informative with a great sense of humor. We learned a lot about the marsh and area. We found great shells in the island, also. Ride was cold due to the weather but captain did a nice job of keeping any water spray off of us while moving. We stopped frequently to see dolphins which was so amazing!

What a fun and informative activity while near Folly Beach. Captain Tripp is phenomenal giving great info on the area and why it is so important to keep beautiful and clean. I would highly recommend anyone local or tourist to do this while in the area. Seeing dolphins closeup and walking the island was a bonus .
