Stopped in at last minute in hopes of getting to take a tour of the waterways, very friendly staff booked us right away. We went out on an evening boat ride with Captain Richard and first mate, four legged Lizzie. Captain Richard took us on a tour around the waterways and answered all our questions about the area. Had fun... More

Luck of the draw on this find! I've never seen a dog captain a boat, which is exactly what happened here. While playing with the dolphins, Lizzie told us stories of the nature around us, the history of the lighthouse and a bone she once burried on the shores of the beach. During the stop on the beach, we watched... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Captain Dicky and Flipper Finders. The boat ride was fun and "searching" for dolphins and trying to photograph them was great. The captain took two great dolphin photos and then e-mailed them to us since we were a bit slow with our cameras! We explored Morris island and gathered sea shells within a few... More

We went on a kayaking tour for a bachelorette party weekend and had a blast! The two guides made it a lot of fun! I highly recommend Flipper Finders to anyone visiting Folly Beach, it is a MUST!

We took a 2-hour dolphin boat ride with Captain Richard and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Charleston. He was knowledgeable, very friendly, asked what we wanted to do and see, and showed us many of the Low Country's hidden spots that tourists would never know existed. If you are taking the trip as a... More

Myself and twenty of my fellow classmates and instructors opted to go on a kayaking trip for our wilderness medicine course. Not only was flipper finders able to quickly and affordably work us in, but they offered a wonderful experience. We were treated to a brief tutorial followed by a 2 1/2 hour adventure filled with fun, hijinks and beautiful... More

We paid $70 each for my husband and myself, plus $60 for my son for the Morris Island bike ride. All we did was ride the boat over to Morris Island where Richard left and returned later to pick us up. We used our own bikes and there was not a tour so I was floored when there office person... More

This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Folly Beach. Captain Richard did a fantastic job of guiding us thru the waterways for 2 hours. We experienced the beauty of the wildlife, marshes at low tide, history and the lighthouse of Marshall Island. It is truly a beautiful, peaceful area of the world, shown to us expertly thru Captain... More
