Guided Nature Tour & Cruise of Charleston Harbor

This was a small group, as only my husband, daughter and I and one other couple were in attendance, so I am sure it is different that if you go during the peak of the season with tons of people. Since there were only 5 of us, we took their small boat, rather than the large one, so I don't know what that would be like. We headed straight our for Morris Island, stopping to watch dolphins along the way. My daughter loved it! During the short ride, the tour guide showed us some crabs and explained some of their anatomy. Upon arrival at Morris Island, we had the place to ourselves. We were given an hour to walk the beach, pick up shells, and learn about some of the plants, animals, shells, and other items we found there or saw. They did say they usually didn't get to stay on the island that long. We found a variety of shells, including a conch, some large clam, scallop, and oyster shells, as well as shark teeth. I don't believe this is the "normal" tour, as they said they usually have many more people, but it was fun, our tour guide and captain were friendly, and we plan on going again sometime!

This cruise was a decent date out, it probably would have been better but it was extremely hot. It was kind of short too, you just pretty much go strait to an island stay for 30 minutes and come back. the people are really nice though and try to make it as interesting as possible, so if your just looking for a date thats a little different then this is an ok choice

Our family of five adults had a wonderful time on this trip. As a kindergarten teacher, I would highly recommend this activity for families with children too. The guides were very informative about many topics and welcomed questions from participants. There were animals in the touch tank that could be closely observed and a hands-on portion where different ocean objects were passed. The time on Morris Island could be better used if the guide had talked to the group as a whole on the island some first then given free time to look for shells and explore. As it was the guide went with one family with children and helped them find some shark teeth and a sand dollar. But overall the trip was well worth it. It was a highlight of our vacation for everyone in our group.

The weather was hot and so was the tour! Would definitely recommend.

A very enjoyable tour. The naturalist was very knowledgeable.

interesting for kids, includes both nature\history information a nice break from the heat and walking, the beach dropoff was a big hit as well

That was one of the best tours ever!! The fact that the crab trap was pulled and you were able to get off at the island was perfect!!! I would be the poster woman for this tour any day!

The tour was not crowded and we received personalized interaction with the tour guides and the boat captain. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see dolphins up close. The boat was clean and comfortable and overall the experience was very enjoyable.

The eco nature tour did not disappoint us. The tour guide was excellent, the numerous dolphins sightings were great and Morrris Island was excellent for shelling and tranquility

We really enjoyed our nature tour with Sandlapper tours. Both the captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed finding shark teeth on the shell beach!
