My party of 8 with adults, teenagers, and young children ages 3 and 5, all had a great time with Captain Bo. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Highly recommended for all ages who enjoy nature, dolphins, birds, and learning the rich history of South Carolina!

What to Expect on a Dolphin Eco Tour
Our area is a hotspot for dolphin breeding and activity, and we commonly see them several times during a dolphin boat tour.
While in search of dolphins, your experienced captain will discuss the area’s rich ecological and cultural heritage. You will be able to watch these intelligent creatures play, feed, mate and sleep in person from a close, but safe and respectful distance.
As you cruise through peaceful saltwater creeks, you may also see dolphins exhibit a unique hunting technique known as strand feeding. This feeding technique is amazing but rare to see as it has only been observed in this region of the world. Join us on our dolphin eco-tour for a wild dolphin experience you will never forget!
