Blackwater Tours
Just 35-50 minutes from Charleston you can explore cool and shaded blackwater swamps, rivers and
historic rice plantations. Paddle through a flooded forest in a
protected wilderness area in the National Forest and see 1,000 year
old cypress trees or see a 300 year old church overlooking thousands
of acres of rice fields where eagles nest, full of wetland
wildflowers. Wildlife includes the shy and elusive alligator, turtles, wetland wading
birds, woodpeckers and sometimes river otters!Explore The Blackwater Tours Here
Saltwater Tours
Just 3 minutes to 35 minutes surrounding Charleston, the saltwater tours include a variety of habitats that include shallow bays with historic harbor views, sandy beaches with barrier islands, or saltwater marsh
creeks. Paddle to 4,000 year old Indian ruins in the National Forest and journey back in time! Wildlife includes
dolphin and nesting colonies of thousands of Eastern Shorebirds. Manatees and Sea Turtles are seasonal and are seen about
10-20% of the time during summer months. Our Shem Creek & Crab Bank Island tour has the most wildlife and chance for seeing dolphin, but you’re welcome to also explore the waters surrounding the Cape Romain
National Wildlife Refuge just up the coast.Explore the Saltwater Tours Here
