“Great trip to Wassaw Island yesterday with Captain Rene! We stopped for Dolphins on the way and hiked the pavilion trail on the island. Beautiful nature preserve. More Dolphins and birding on the way home made for an amazing afternoon! Captain Rene made sure we were happy and comfortable the entire time and took time to stop anytime we wanted to see something up close. Great trip that has become part of our annual vacation!” — Sara T. March, TripAdvisor
