Josh was a great driver and we felt safe with the limited number of participants, outdoor activity, and mask wearing. The kids loved seeing the dolphins swim along the boat and collecting conch shells on Morris Island. The entire trip was beautiful and peaceful and informative, but wear a jacket. It's chilly out there!

Relaxing evening cruise after hard day

Josh did a great job explaining the salt marsh and wildlife. Daughters were raptured. We had a flat tire before we left and missed our boat by 10 minutes. They did as much as they could and accommodated us on a later cruise but they could have just charged us and sent us packing. This is a great company with people who genuinely enjoy what they do.

Mussed this tour due to horrendous traffic but COA rescheduled us for a slightly different tour later in the day. Josh was nice enough to take us close to the lighthouse and talk about it. Plus we saw dolphins!

It was a great experience. As an adult I can not swim and they were willing to give me a life vest for safety. The crew was knowledgeable and very friendly. A word of advice, being a blanket. Being on the water moving was chilly, but worth it.

What an amazing afternoon! If you are ever in Charleston you have to check this out! We saw dozens of dolphins swimming right next to our boat 🐬 spent an hour on the beach where we found several whole sand dollars (threw back the live ones), whole conk shells, and Capt Tripp gave us some sharks teeth to bring home. All the kids had such a great time and Captain Tripp was amazing ☺️ Beautiful day.
