The captain was very knowledgeable and informative. He was very accommodating of my wife's physical limitations. We had a wonderful day despite the chilly wind.

We were a bit nervous when our uber driver headed down a gravel road, but we shouldn't have worried. The boat was nice and this was a fantastic tour! Chris, our guide, had the perfect mix of knowledge about the ecosystem, animals, and history. He was funny, personable, and great with his boat handling skills. We saw sooo many dolphins. The island was beautiful with amazing shelling. We take many tours and thought this one was top notch!
We capped it off with lunch at the Bowen Island Restaurant! Excellent!

I can’t tell you how much my family and I loved this experience. Chris was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and created such a fun experience for everyone on the trip. He took time to stop along the way on our boat trip to the island, and point out dolphins, birds, and other wildlife. He talked to us about the local ecosystem, sharing fascinating insights into how locals fish, harvest oysters, and catch shrimp.
We got to spend ample time on the beach looking for seashells and exploring Morris Island. If you’re looking for something to do that’s outside the city and not touristy, this is a great way to spend an afternoon in nature. Shoutout to Chris’ mom!

We had a fantastic trip to watch dolphins and check out a beach. We found a bunch of sand dollars, learned a lot about the area and saw a number of dolphins. It was a great trip and Jacob was a knowledgeable, fun guide!
