Private Folly Beach Dolphin Watching and Shelling tour

About this activity

Summer is the best time of the year to see pods of juvenile and baby dolphins. Join me on a private up to six guests, 2 hour boat tour through the local tidal creeks behind Folly Beach in search of our local dolphins. From the boat you will get to experience feeding techniques, socializing behaviors, and dolphins just having fun in their natural element. When spotted we will drift alongside them for great photo opportunities a get a little information about this wonderful creature. We’ll stop at Morris Island where you will have plenty of time to explore and take photos of the historic Morris Island Lighthouse. Our trips are designed for small groups up to 6 to give our guests a true Lowcountry experience on one of the most comfortable and easy to board tritoons available. 100% guarantee that you will see dolphins in their natural habitat.

Itinerary

  1. Morris Island Lighthouse

    Passing by

    Join me on this two hour boat tour as we ride through Folly Beach's most pristine marshlands on our way to Morris Island. As we cruise the estuary, we will be on the lookout for our local wildlife that inhabit the area including bottlenose dolphins, bald eagles, osprey, pelicans, or a sea turtle. We land at Morris Island where you will enjoy a quiet beach only accessible by boat where you can look for seashells, sand dollars, whelks, shark teeth, and more. Morris island is the best place to take photos of the historic Morris Island Lighthouse. You will have over an hour to explore at your own pace before getting back on the boat for the trip back. This trip is for up to six guests. Trips are customizable to meet the needs of our guests.
