About This Adventure
If you’re the more enthusiastic of adventurers, this 3 hour tour is for you. This is a moderate paced tour allowing paddlers to explore a wider variety of Folly’s scenic marshland. Our tour explores the estuary systems surrounding marsh islands. These islands are abundant with flora, fauna and rich cultural history. Marsh tours provide the chance to see Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin, Loggerhead Sea Turtles, American Wood Storks, local waterfowl and other wildlife. Marsh kayaking is definitely one of our best tours for dolphin watching as pods routinely are seen within a few feet of our kayaks.
