What locals are saying
Castaway Island Excursions is a well-regarded, family-owned outfitter on Folly Creek offering kayak/SUP rentals, guided eco tours, and dolphin-watching boat excursions. Reviewers consistently single out guides — especially Captain Luke and Hailey — for being knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about the Lowcountry ecosystem and Charleston history. The only recurring mild criticism is that dolphin sightings are never guaranteed and at least one reviewer noted a trip ran shorter than advertised.
On socials
Castaway Island Excursions is quiet on social — no meaningful TikTok, Instagram creator, or food-influencer blog chatter was surfaced. What little visitor-generated content exists praises Captain Luke by name, dolphin sightings, and the Morris Island beach drop-off (notably the Outer Banks filming location angle, which teen-skewing visitors post about). No dish-level discussion applies — this is an outdoor excursion operator, not a food venue.
