Awesome experience! Captain Luke was great and made it a personalized experience for the kids. He even went back to collect my hat that blew away. Exploring the island was awesome and we made many memories. We had the chance to see a slew of dolphins and Captain Luke made sure we got up close. I highly recommend this experience and we will definitely take the excursion again!

Luke was very knowledgeable about the waters he was taking us through as well as the wildlife in the area. Morris Island was amazing. We found lots of sand dollars and it's was full of sea shells. We saw lots and lots of dolphins even a few new born dolphins. Luke definitely did a fantastic job. We would recommend it to anyone... Love your favorite Phish Phans. Hehe!!

    Fun family outing

    Alexis_C, Oct 2025
    Our family had a great time on this trip. We learned about the estuary, saw lots of dolphins, and found loads of cool seashells. Our 6 year old loved finding neat shells. It was a bit of a walk to get to the part with the best shells, but even our 3 year old managed it fine. Wish we'd had a little more time on the island but it was a great experience overall.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for the excellent review Alexis! We are so glad to hear that the whole family had such a great time looking for shells on Morris! We hope to see y'all again in the future!

    Marla_N, Oct 2025
    It was an excellent experience. Our guide Luke was super knowledgeable and you could tell he loves his job and the area! It was a great day! We learned about the waterways, plants, dolphins, birds. And saw lots of everything! Seeing the lighthouse and exploring the beach was a fun and relaxing experience to wrap up our vacation. Thanks for the tip on the shrimp tacos - they were great!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Marla, thank you so much for the kind words. It sounds like y'all had an all around incredible experience on our Morris island trip! It's one of our favorite places to go here in Charleston. And yes, you can not beat the shrimp tacos from Crosby's food truck! We hope that you come get out on the water with us again some time!
