Itinerary
Join us on this two hour private boat tour as we explore the calm waters behind Folly Beach in search of the local bottlenose dolphins. As we cruise through the creeks and inlets, you will have the opportunity to see these beautiful animals play, sleep and hunt. If the dolphins are feeding, you may be able to observe a hunting strategy called “strand feeding,” only seen in this part of the world. Along the way, you will also have the chance to see other local wildlife, such as wading birds, bald eagles, osprey, pelicans or maybe a sea turtle. The two hours is allocated for the time that we will spent in waters.

The tour was excellent and flexible due to weather. Captain was prepared and so knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed!!
This is a low key day on the river- relaxing and peaceful. We were able to see many dolphins and babies.
Such a relaxing experience to just sit back and watch the dolphins. Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and the habits of the wildlife
It was great. The 2 hours flew by and the kids had a wonderful time. The boat was comfortable. Love it.
My sister and her husband had an awesome trip in Charleston on this private boat tour. Having already been on the shuttle boat in Charleston we were excited to see dolphins as we did not see any during the shuttle boat. Start it off strong immediately seeing dolphins. We were able to see dolphins very up close, and the captain also took us on shore to look for shark teeth.
Very prompt and friendly. Knowledgeable and saw many dolphins. Everyone had a nice time and enjoyed seeing the dolphins as well as the island to find shark teeth and light house
Great experience. The Captain was great; very patient and informative. Kid friendly adventure. Would recommend to anyone
PD was an excellent tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable, gave interesting information throughout the tour and made sure we had up-close views of dolphins.
We had an excellent time! Captain P.D. was great! Dolphins, Ospreys, a Lighthouse, and sharks teeth! Morris Island beach was so relaxing. We highly recommend Morris Island Charters as a way to spend 2 hours of your day in the Charleston area!
Seeing dolphins and the ride was enjoyable The order went smooth. Also the location and parking was easy
Absolutely fabulous experience! Highly recommend. Captain P.D. was the best and great with our five year old and fifteen year old. We saw plenty of dolphins!
Seeing the dolphins! I would do it again. The guide was very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife.
The pods of Tamenend's Bottlenose Dolphins were thrilling. Just cruising the estuary was fascinating. An environment like no other. Lots of bird activity. Extensive oyster beds. Paul, the boat owner and Captain, is knowledgeable and provides just the right amount of information and interaction. A great experience.
Our tour with Morris Island Charters was one of the highlights of our trip to the Lowcountry. We saw dolphins, explored the waterways, visited Morris Island, found shark teeth - it was a truly memorable experience and made so fun for my kids as it was totally adapted to them. I would recommend to anyone visiting Folly Beach or the nearby area - the booking process was so easy, PD is a fantastic captain - both knowledgable and kind, and it was a great trip.
Captain PD went above and beyond; he reached out to us to let us know about a road race which may impact our travel time and route to the landing. He also loaned me essential weather gear which I was missing on our very windy snd chilly day. We saw several dolphin and learned a bit about them. Would recommend!
Highly recommend! We did the dolphin tour w two teen daughters and all had a great time. Saw plenty of dolphins, enjoyed boating through the windy creeks, learned a great deal about the local ecosystem, and - something that thrilled our girls - happened upon locales depicted in the tv show Outer Banks. The Captain is extremely knowledgeable, safe, and experienced.
Very enjoyable experience. We will do it again on our next travels. Would recommend to anyone . Saw many dolphins and our tour guy was very knowledgeable with our surroundings.
Captain P D is an amazingly patient and knowledgeable Captain, our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed this experience on Folly Beach
We loved seeing mother and baby dolphins arc from the water at the same time, as though they were one animal. Our Captain, PD, was skilled in finding all the dolphins that could possibly have been in the area. We also froze to death, but that is the sea's fault.
What a wonderful tour! Captain PD knew right where to take us to see multiple dolphins!!! We also had some fun going a little faster at times! He answered all of our questions and we learned new info on these awesome mammals!! Highly recommend
Beautiful afternoon with children and grandchildren. 2 hours of sunshine and dolphins. PD was great . Got to see the lighthouse and kids got some sharks teeth!
Our Eco your was a wonderful experience. My daughter is 7 years old and got to see the dolphins, it was great to have our own guide, and it was a beautiful day!
What a fun tour! Our guide was great! Saw dolphins and had an enjoyable boat ride. He was very informative and answered many questions. I would recommend this experience
It was a great experience. The boat was comfortable. The Captain was very nice and pointed out several things. The water was basically calm, but whenever we had to cross wake from another boat he let us know ahead of time. We saw a lot of dolphins, some as close as 20 feet.
P.D. was a great guide! We were surrounded by dolphins and got to see this beautiful place from the water. - it was almost magical! Totally worth it.
Nice boat ride to see dolphins. My granddaughters ages 4,4 and 5 loved it. The captain was very professional and the boat was clean. He provided life jackets for the kids. Very enjoyable 2 hours on the water.
We had a great time on this small boat tour with Captain P.D! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions. Not only did we see dolphins, but a bald eagle, coyote, and several sea birds. The Morris Island Lighthouse was beautiful - and our small group of 5 were able to collect shells and explore before getting back on the boat. The only drawback, not related to the tour at all, was parking. We were distracted and didn't see the sign for 'vehicles with trailer' parking only - and ended up with a parking ticket. Pay attention to where you leave your car! Overall, great experience.
