The experience seems flexible enough to work for different occasions, from family outings with young kids to bachelorette parties. Popular offerings include tours to Morris Island Lighthouse and the Outer Banks filming locations, and captains appear genuinely enthusiastic about sharing local wildlife and history.

It's the kind of tour where repeat customers keep bringing their visiting friends back.
We went on a dolphin and Morris Island tour this morning and absolutely loved it! Every moment out on the water was fantastic. Our captain was incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to answer all of our ocean and nature questions. He kept the whole group engaged and made sure everyone was having a great time. We had a last-minute issue come up before the tour, and they were so accommodating and helpful in making sure everything still went smoothly. We booked a weekday tour at low tide and were rewarded with an amazing dolphin show — we saw so many dolphins, some even swimming right up to the boat! Along the way, we also spotted countless birds on our journey out to Morris Island. Once we arrived, we had about 30 minutes to explore, hunt for shells, take photos of the lighthouse, and just enjoy the island. A highlight was when our captain helped me find a shark tooth — such a cool souvenir! Overall, this was an outstanding experience. We’re already planning to book another tour with them in the future since they offer so many different options. Highly recommend!
