    So much fun

    The trip out to and from the beach was exceptional. There was great communication and he was extremely fast to respond to questions. We would definitely go again - it was a great time

    Crab Island was fun but is closing. Our trip started at 9 am. Some kayakers got out in front or us. Then we were overrun by about 50 kids who storm the small island around 10 am. We still found teeth but it was crowded.

    Response from the operator: I’m glad you had a good time and were able to find some shark teeth.

    Shark tooth adventure

    Captain Jim was excellent. Timely and knowledgeable. He was very accommodating and helped us find 25 shark teeth. Our kids loved the shark tooth adventure.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for boating with me. Glad you had a great time. Thank you.

    Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mount Pleasant.

    How much does Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mount Pleasant usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mount Pleasant is not rushed.

    Is Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mount Pleasant, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mount Pleasant can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mount Pleasant and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Charleston/Folly Beach Shark Tooth and fossil Island Drop off start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mount Pleasant within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mount Pleasant?

    +

    Mount Pleasant, SC packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Mount Pleasant by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Mount Pleasant experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kayak With Dolphins in Historic Shem Creek, Scenes of Shem Creek History and Shrimp Walking Tour, Boone Hall Plantation All-Access Admission Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mount Pleasant?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Mount Pleasant, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mount Pleasant?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
