Without a doubt the finest shell and sharks teeth hunting beach in Charleston. Overflowing with history, your guide will share details of what makes Morris so special, while helping you find treasure on the beach and keeping the laughs going. Observe dolphins on the way there and back! Definitely kid friendly, check out our website and come and see us! « less

Perfect combination of water, beach, history and fun! Thanks Captain Howard for being a great host. Your tours have it all....and the history was not too much, not too little and told with humor without being corny or staged. My 16 year old got her sand dollars back home without breaking them and now they her treasure from Charleston. If... More

We were a party of three (probably older than Howard's average clientele) and were treated to a thoroughly enjoyable three hours of sea, local history,some gentle ambling along the sea shore, wildlife of many sorts and informed beach-combing. SImple pleasures nicely laced together with a sense of humour. Really outstanding.

Captain Howie takes you on a trip back in time to Morris island, accessible by boat only. This island is completely uninhabited! The captain was extremely professional and knowledgeable on the history of the area and identifying shells, sharks teeth, and artifacts. This is an excellent way to spend a morning in Charleston!

Go on this tour! I can honestly say that it was one of the best days I have had with my children in a long time. It was pure fun. My four and six year old sons are still laughing and talking about this tour a month later. They were even telling their friends at school about pirates and bringing... More

Beautiful scenery, interesting history, and amazing tourguide. Captain Howie was fun, informative, and extremely personable. What a friendly guy. He also helped me propose to my fiancé, what more could you want? Shell hunting was fun. I suggest going early in the morning, there are fewer people, especially during the week.

This tour is a must-see in Charleston. This trip was by far the highlight of the trip. The history was was great, we saw dolphins on the tour, and shelling at Morris Island was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for making this such a great trip!

We spent a week in the Charleston area and the was by far activity-wise the highlight of our trip. As a family (6 adults, one toddler and 2 dogs) we decided to do this tour as a chance to see dolphins and collect sea shells and sharks teeth (which we did), and because they allow dogs (which when traveling can...
