Private Dolphin Watch, Lighthouse and Ecological Boat Tours

Capt Gresh did a great job with giving background and historical information on the area in general as well with covering the wildlife. It was very cool to get up close to the Morris Island lighthouse.

We had a private tour rescheduled due to weather, and our concierge gave us the incorrect new time. Gresh was kind enough to allow us to join another family on their tour. You get to hear some of his family's history in the area, see oyster reefs, dolphins, and then you are dropped off on Morris Island for around 45 minutes to look for shells, take pics etc. The boat was very clean and the boat ride very pleasant. I'd recommend wearing comfortable shoes that can get sandy and a small bag to carry your shells. Cost was 225/couple.

This was a wonderful trip! Captain Gresh is so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife found there. Morris Island is beautiful and peaceful, and it's great that Gresh welcomed our dog on his boat. So much better having this private quiet trip rather than with a tourist group. We plan to do this again.

Spent the morning with Gresh on the Morris Island Lighthouse Eco-Tour and cannot begin to tell you what a great time we had. There’s nothing like getting a history tour from an 8th generation Charlestonian. Gresh took us for a close up of the oyster beds and a pod of dolphins, approximately 5 feet from our boat. Then he dropped us off on the island for 45 minutes to tour on our own. I highly recommend taking his tour when visiting Charleston S.C.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to post photos and do detailed reviews for this. It’s what made me book it. So, I too am returning the favor in hopes it helps another family find this awesome adventure. We were RVing at the KOA and wanted to do a fun adventure. We were two families that each have a 9 year old. It was AMAZING!!!! Gresh was a local who was passionate about Charleston, its history and his roots. We saw dolphins (moms with their babies ) and loved getting to explore that deserted beach with tons of shells, starfish and just beauty. We did the 11am-1pm which was perfect if you have kids. Right after the boat adventure we grabbed food down at a local pub and then headed back to the campsite. I love that it was just our family crew so we weren’t there stuck with any annoying people (because my old tired mom self doesn’t feel like dealing with 20year old drunks on a party boat ) This was well worth the price (I was shocked it wasn’t more expensive ) (way less expensive then any tourist trap and it was the most amazing individualized experience ever) Thank you Gresh. You rocked

We took the 8am morning tour with Captain Gresh! Gresh was amazing and so informative, our 3 year mini aussie really enjoyed the boat ride as well! It was such a great experience when Gresh let us get off at Morris Island and told us to let our dog run free! One of the best times our dog ever had :) We even saw many dolphins on the way back! Highly reccommend taking this tour with Captain Gresh!

Capt Gresh was the greatest! He far exceeded our expectations. He was on time, professional and friendly. He was full of history, current info and fun facts too. His boat was clean and in proper working order. He knew all the rivers, creeks and waterways like the back of his hand. We saw so many things I hadn’t seen before and some old favorites too, including: oyster beds, crab traps, beautiful homes, the Morris Island landscape at low tide, shells, birds, flounder, dolphins, even old bullets from the Civil War! We felt safe because of Capt Gresh’s good instruction. We would book with him again and again. One of the highlights of our trip to Folly Beach and the Charleston area.
