Paddle boarding with dolphins was one of the most fun experiences I've had on the East Coast. Not only did we get to see a great deal of wildlife (including dolphins), but it was great exercise, too! Our guide, Eric, was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and a great instructor for first-time paddle boarders. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something new to do in Folly Beach!

JD was an amazing tour guide. We did get to see a pod of dolphins which was very cool since they had their 3 babies with them as well. We also learned some interesting facts about the areas. I would highly recommend for those wanting to try something new. Just know that you need good balance on the board :P otherwise you cannonball into the water. Woohoo!!
