Had the best trip with our captain, Chris. He is SC native and his love for the water, wildlife and the history of Morris Island really tied it all together. We saw multiple dolphin, tons of birds and of course had a chance to find some shark teeth up on Morris Island. Really worth the time to take this trip. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and leaves you with a true understanding and appreciation for the area.

We saw plenty of dolphins, cormorants, pelicans, and found sand dollars and sharks teeth on the beach. The bost ride can be quite windy and chilly in late November but definitely worth it. Matt was our captain and guide and was great.
