Overview

This 2.5-hour group boat cruise travels through the tidal creeks around Charleston, South Carolina. The trip includes a one-hour stop at Morris Island, where visitors can walk on the natural beach, search for seashells and shark teeth, and view the historic lighthouse. The boat departs from and returns to the dock at 1871 Bowens Island Road, where restrooms are available before boarding. A naturalist captain provides live narration throughout the cruise, explaining the local ecosystems and historical background. Passengers may see wildlife such as Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, wading birds, pelicans, and sea turtles during the boat segments around the saltwater estuaries. The stop on Morris Island allows exploration of an uninhabited barrier island with its maritime forest and oyster beds. The tour does not include snacks, bottled water, or gratuities, so guests should bring their own supplies and dress for beach walking. Travelers should arrive 15 minutes early to check in at the Charleston Outdoor Adventures office. There are no restrooms available on the boat or the island. Those who cannot or prefer not to walk on Morris Island may remain on board during the stop.
