About
Climb aboard our power boat Osprey for a private wildlife tour of the calm inlets, creeks and salt marsh behind Folly Beach. You’ll likely see at close range our resident dolphin pods playing, mating or lazily swimming along. We also see osprey, eagles, herons and other coastal wildlife in abundance. Tours are private, so if you’d like to throw in some isolated beach/sandbar shelling or swimming we can do that too! Feel free to bring any beverage of your choice to throw in our iced cooler. Pets welcome.
