Lots of shells where the crew took us. I could have spent the whole day there. Nice sandbar to explore. Ashley and Ty were great.
As soon as we arrived on hickory Island a storm moving in fast. But Ashley was great - she got us shelter while we waited it out. Afterwards we still had 30 minutes for shelling which was plenty of time. I'm just glad the flying umbrella didnt pummel my husband because it nearly did LOL!
Ty and Ashley were wonderful guides! We saw manatees, dolphins, and lots of birds. The shelling beach went to was great for finding shells. Ashley was well versed in the ecosystem and answered everyone's questions quickly. Ty shared interesting information on the wildlife. Both were on the lookout for wildlife at all times and were quick to share as soon as anything was spotted. The boat ride was comfortable. We were very lucky to have a pod of dolphins play behind the boat on the way back to port.
My wife and I had a wonderful trip. The guides were knowledgeable about the wildlife. We spotted many dolphins along the way.
Great tour! The staff was so friendly! We saw a lot of dolphins, a manatee and different types of birds. Got several great shells! Had an excellent time!
The crew were great I can not remember their names but they were amazing. Highly recommend this for anyone. We saw lots of dolphins and a very fresh baby. Also saw manatees. The shelling was also great!!
Captain Ty and Ashley were our crew. They are informative, knowledgeable and sharing On the way to the island we came across a couple pods of dolphins. Ty is experienced in how not to discourage the dolphins from playing along with the boat. The dolphins followed along I the boat’s wake which was very cool! A couple came completely out of the water I wished I had brought my mask - I didn’t think of it. The shelling was very good. We found several of the types that Ashley talked about Parking was easy too. This a great experience and worth the money!
Ty and Ashley were great guides ,their knowledge about the history and wildlife was 👍🏻.We saw multiple pods of dolphins swimming right alongside the boat, manatees and a surprise sighting of spotted eagle rays . Highly recommend !
