Morris Island Lighthouse and Dolphin Finding Boat Tour

Morris Island Lighthouse & Dolphin Cruise

Cruise the scenic waterways south of Charleston to the iconic Morris Island Lighthouse, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the South Carolina coast. This relaxed boat tour blends coastal history, open water, and wildlife viewing — all from the comfort of a guided cruise departing from Folly Beach.

We always keep an eye out for dolphins on this tour, and sightings are common in the tidal creeks and nearshore waters surrounding Morris Island. Along the way, you’ll enjoy sweeping marsh views, barrier-island scenery, and local insight from your captain about the lighthouse, the coastline, and the wildlife that call this area home.

Each trip is shaped by the day’s conditions and what we’re seeing on the water. Some tours focus on cruising and dolphin activity, while others may include a brief stop on Morris Island to explore the beach and see what the tide has uncovered. No two trips are exactly the same…and that’s part of the experience/magic.

This tour is perfect for visitors who want a true Charleston coastal experience without a rigid itinerary. Easygoing, scenic, and memorable, it’s a great fit for couples, families, photographers, and anyone who wants to see dolphins and the Morris Island Lighthouse from the water.

These tours run daily.

“New this year”  Depending on the tide we will try to offer several public boat low tide shelling/shark teeth hunting tours per week.

Please plan to arrive at our shop (83 Center St.) 10 – 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.
