Overview

Experience the beauty of the Lowcountry during golden hour as the sun sets over the tidal salt marsh. Your evening ecotour boat trip takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Charleston Harbor and crowded beaches into the quiet, remote waterways of the estuary.

Cruise through winding tidal creeks and keep an eye out for great blue herons, egrets, pelicans, ospreys, shorebirds, and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins as they move through the marsh. Each trip offers a unique opportunity to experience wildlife in its natural habitat while enjoying the peaceful tranquility of the marsh.

Relax on the water with Capt. Chris, a local guide sharing the stories, history, culture, seafood and ecology that make the Lowcountry special. Explore hidden creeks and untouched marsh views away from crowded tourist routes while learning how this ecosystem supports the wildlife.

Watch the sunset, discover the hidden side of the Lowcountry, and enjoy an unforgettable coastal adventure beyond the postcards.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Evening Cruise Around Remote Tidal Salt Marsh?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
