Two Hour Dolphin Eco Tour

the United States,South Carolina,Folly Beach,Tours

Join us on this two hour tour aboard "The Blue Moon," as we explore the calm waters behind Folly Beach in search of the local bottlenose dolphins. As we cruise through the creeks and inlets, you will have the opportunity to see these beautiful animals play, sleep and hunt. If the dolphins are feeding, you may be able to observe a hunting strategy called “strand feeding,” only seen in this part of the world. Along the way, you will also have the chance to see other local wildlife, such as wading birds, bald eagles, osprey, terns, pelicans or maybe a sea turtle. If you have any questions, we can answer those through GetMyBoat’s messaging platform before you pay. Just hit, “Send Inquiry” and send us an inquiry for a custom offer.

Capt. P.D. was born in Charleston, SC. Although he moved to the SC Foothills when he was six, his summers were spent with family in Charleston exploring the tidal creeks. Returning to the Lowcountry full-time in 2008 to attend the College of Charleston, he would graduate in 2011 with a degree in biology. Observing and learning about animals and the surrounding ecosystems has been P.D.’s passion from a young age. Exploring the islands around Charleston learning about the local ecosystem and looking for shark teeth and fossils has provided P.D. with a wealth of knowledge about the local ecosystem. In 2022, P.D. decided to turn his love of being on the water into a profession and went to school to become a captain so he could share his experiences with others.
