We've been operating ecotours for 16 years and counting! Cruise through winding tidal creeks behind Folly Beach on your way to Morris Island, where you’ll spot wild dolphins, birds, and other unique wildlife that make the Lowcountry so special. Along the way, your naturalist captain will share fascinating insights about the salt marsh ecosystem—from the grass and water itself to the marine life that depends on it.

The highlight of this Charleston tour is a 30–40 minute stop on Morris Island as the tide permits. Explore the beach, collect shells, and take in breathtaking views of the historic Morris Island Lighthouse. Then enjoy a relaxing ride back through the waterways, keeping an eye out for more dolphin sightings.

Perfect for families, couples, and groups (up to 18 passengers on our larger boat if requested), this tour combines education, adventure, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. We know that different people have different tastes, and we pride ourselves on providing the perfect tour for your group.  Whether you want to go on a crabbing expedition, relax on a sunset cruise, learn about the ecosystem, or enjoy the wonders of Morris Island, we have the perfect adventure for you.

From Lowcountry boils on the beach to boating classes & bachelorette parties, we can give you the experience of a lifetime. Discover the wild side of Folly Beach on a boat tour today!

Tons of Dolphins!
2 Hour – Dolphin Watching Boat Tour on May 4, 20263 adults1 child
We took our 5 year old granddaughter in the hopes of seeing a few Dolphins and we saw 20+ dolphins during this trip. David was very informative about the area that included; dolphins, birds, Morris Island, lighthouse, tides, etc. I would recommend this tour to any dolphin/history lovers.

The dolphin and Morris Island boat tour was fantastic! We saw soooo many dolphins. Our captain Olivia was very engaging, knowledgeable and very customer oriented to make sure our expectations were exceeded! Though it was very cold, we loved every minute of our time on the boat! Highly recommend this trip.
