Morris Island Lighthouse Eco-tour

Join us as we explore the ebb and flow of Folly’s surrounding tidal estuaries. Home to more than 70,000 life forms, salt marshes are one of our country’s most protected natural resources. Traveling through the estuaries on board a 23’ bay boat, we’ll try our luck with a cast net and discover creatures beneath the surface and in our crab traps. In our search for native wildlife, you’ll be amazed at the breathtaking scenery, abundant bird life and catch a glimpse of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.  While viewing the dolphins, one may have the opportunity to see these extraordinary animals perform a hunting strategy  known as strand feeding. Strand feeding is an adaptive hunting technique the dolphins have made famous to the Lowcountry. The exploratory boat cruise will take us through treasured tidal creeks to Morris Island Lighthouse where one will have the opportunity to set out on foot and explore the historic island and its many shells. Tideland Treasures is a unique hands-on Lowcountry experience for the entire family.
