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. This cruise includes up to 6 people for one price!

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.

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!
