Salt marsh on the barrier islands of charleston, sc

What to expect

You can expect to see, feel, smell, hear and taste the life of our barrier islands. You will get a sense of the beauty, wilderness, wildlife and a bit of history surrounding the islands. For those who have never been to an uninhabited island it might just be the coolest thing you have ever done. Expect to get wet, get muddy, catch critters, have fun, get wild and even learn a little about our coastal ecosystem. We want you to have a great experience, so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call or email us and we’ll be happy to take care of them.

Our tours require some physical effort in boarding and disembarking of the boat. Call if you have concerns.

You will most likely get wet and possibly muddy (we encourage you to do so, it is half the fun)
