Must Do - Our boat tour was amazing! Luke is so knowledgeable about the area. We saw dolphins, found sand dollars, and had lovely views in every direction. I don’t see how you could visit Folly Beach without a boat tour with Captain Luke!

Excellent experience and must do for locals tourists alike! - We had a fantastic time with Luke on our tour. We were repeat customers and will be back in the future! “It was super fun and very informative” -straight from our teens. This is a great way to get out into the water and learn about a totally different side of the low country. A great mix of ecological information, local history and of course dolphins!
