5.00My 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.
