    5/5

    We done the sunset tour and was not disappointed! We saw LOTS of dolphins. The horses had moved away from the coastline but could be seen with binoculars. It is a large island and they are wild so no big deal. Captain Johnny is a wealth of knowledge about Beaufort and surrounding areas. He talked a lot about the history and ecosystem that encompasses this beautiful place! AND we got to see a beautiful sunset. It had rained for the last couple days and we were unable to see a good one. But Captain Johnny knows THE BEST spot to watch the sunset! I highly recommend this tour even if it’s cloudy or you don’t see horses, it is worth the money just for the knowledge that Captain Johnny shares. We will definitely be back for another tour!
