Beaufort River History Cruise

This tour leaves from the Waterfront Park Day Dock. We cruise past the historic homes in the Old Point. We learn about the history of working waterfronts in Beaufort from Factory Creek, Downtown Beaufort, Spanish Point, and we end up at the working waterfront in Port Royal. Along the way, we visit historic Fort Frederick, watch dolphins, and learn about marsh ecology.

Morgan Island Tour

This tour has become one of our most requested. We leave from Sam’s Point Boat Landing on the far northeastern side of Ladies Island and run to the infamous “Monkey Island.” The boat landing itself will bring back memories to anyone who has seen “Forrest Gump.” The shrimp boat scenes were filmed here. Morgan Island itself has a fascinating story and seeing rhesus monkeys in the Lowcountry landscape is nothing short of surreal. Please see the following link to a video about Morgan Island. The video was produced by one of our former clients we took to the island!
