Good any time of year

Published on Jan, 2025

Despite the unseasonably cold--but not rainy--weather, our captain made the trip enjoyable. He knew so much about the area wildlife and history. Winter is the slow season, and we only saw one other boat out on the water after leaving the marina, which made spotting dolphins and birds all the easier. Awesome! We had ample time to explore Morris Island. There's no lighthouse access but it makes a nice backdrop for pics. It's essential to go on these trips prepared, and the company sent an email well in advance of our trip with excellent advice about gear. We bundled up, brought water, and made some great memories.

Fun and Informative Tour

The tour boat captain was friendly and very informative. During our cruise we saw a variety of birds, several dolphins and a mink. We had plenty of time to search for seashells with our little ones, and everyone had a great time.
