This was my second tour, I had Capt. Chris the first time when my daughter took me for Mother's day. I brought my husband this time, Capt. Craig was our guide. Was a fun trip! We started out at high tide, found a couple sand dollars on Morris Island, and saw a group of Doplhins on the way back!!! We are planning a 3rd trip and expect it to be just as amazing! I love hearing about the history along the way, too!

Wear a bathing suit if you want to do in the water. Wear plastic shoes so you can wade in the water. Tons of shells. Felt that 27 people was way too many as we were really squished in.
