Awesome Experience!
Mike and Dallas (the crew/ tour guides) were a blast and very knowledgeable! They were excellent hosts and made it fun for everyone. My family and I definitely had lots of fun. We got to see some dolphins and learned quite a bit of history and other interesting facts about the area and people that live there. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Charleston or even if they live there.
