    The crew was amazing. I loved the stories and history that we were told about the locations we were going by. North Island was so beautiful. I found so many conch shells and sand dollars! Don't go on the muddy part cause I fell in the mud, but other than that this was amazing. It was actually our second year coming on this boat tour! Will be back next year!

    Great captain and crew, nice boat seating, good boat ride to and from island, hi information about the area, good shelling!

    Had a great time. Captain Thom was great and gave us tons of history about the bay & surrounding area. We found lots of shells on the island. We also found a beached starfish that had a missing arm, but was still alive, placed it deeper in the water to help it survive. Saw several eagles on the trip back. Couldn't get great photos, but was so nice to see. It was a really enjoyable experience and we would recommend it to friends and family.

    Beautiful view of Shell Island

    Had a great time on this tour. Learned so much on the way to Shell Island. The captain and crew were so friendly

    Some of the gorgeous landscape.

    We had an absolute blast on this tour. Not only did we find some lovely shells, but we saw quite a few dolphins which was the best part!! Even on an overcast day with some light rain we had a great time. Our captains both had a great sense of humor and were fountains of knowledge with so many interesting facts about the history of Georgetown, the wildlife and waterways. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone I know.

    An amazing afternoon with Captain Mike and Paige. The weather was a bit chilly but we had a grand time! I had no care or wants for shelling but we had a blast and came back with shells and driftwood! A wonderful history of Georgetown,SC with presentation by Paige. So much interesting knowledge. Everything was on time and comfortable. Great price for the value. And many shops and restaurants along Front St for after the tour.

    Great time and well worth the price. Very enjoyable afternoon, and the crew do a great job of making this engaging and telling the history of the area. Got to see dolphins on the way back from the shell tour of the north island. Highly recommend.

    We went with Captain Doug, who was certainly an entertainer and made sure to talk to everyone on the boat.

    We had Judd as our First Mate and Jesse as our Captain and they were both great. Judd had…read moreinformative narrations as we took our 3 hour plus journey along the river to North Island. We learned very interesting tidbits about Georgetown, Crabs, Shrimp, the Civil War, Yawkey family, and Baruch Family. We saw 4 bald eagles and 2 alligators plus other birds like egrets and herons. We arrived an hour after departing Georgetown at North Island where you can see an abundance of oyster shells, whelk, and other shells. There is only a 3/4 mile section of beach that you are allowed to explore. There is driftwood and lots of fallen trees. The water is very brackish and not a place you would go in for a dip (or pee) so plan accordingly. You are given a little over an hour to explore and then you head back passing the Georgetown Lighthouse. Judd had some interesting things to say here too. Then you head back going by South Island and the marshes and learn about the rice Plantations that made some people very wealthy. It's interesting to learn how they flooded and drained the fields. We also learned about the Government cut for the intracoastal waterway as we headed back into town. All in all it was a nice excursion. A tad long in the uncomfortable seats but still a fine experience. Thank you to Judd for all the history and information and for Jesse finding us wildlife along the way.

    Seats are cheap plastic lawn chairs bolted to the floor. Staff is rude. They overbook there trips…read moreand left people sitting on the coolers they have to sell drinks. There were absolutely no shells on island. Multiple boats go to this same island daily so I doubt there are ever any shells there. Would not recommend.
