Charters & Naturalist-Guided Eco Tours in Charleston, SC
Winter is one of our favorite times to explore the salt marsh and Capers Island. The air is crisp, the water clears, and the sunsets are absolutely magnificent and long lasting. Dolphin feeding frenzies are common, numerous bird species are flocked together, and sampling oysters off the bank is a special experience. Few people are on the water so we usually have Capers Island to ourselves. If you are interested in a fishing charter, the redfish and sea trout are schooled up and it can be a really productive time of year to fish.
For over 25 years we have been giving folks of all ages and walks of life the opportunity to experience this beautiful place first hand. We hope to have you aboard one of our eco-tours to Capers Island or on an inshore fishing charter soon!
All trips Depart from the Isle of Palms Marina

About Our Eco Tours in Charleston, SC & Mission
Our goal is to promote awareness, conservation, and enjoyment of South Carolina’s coastal resources.
Barrier Island Eco Tours offers naturalist-guided eco tours to Capers Island Heritage Preserve, located just 15 miles north of Charleston, SC. Our trips depart from the Isle of Palms Marina and take you through winding salt marsh, tidal creeks, and the Intracoastal Waterway to Capers Island.
Along the way, you learn about this amazing ecosystem and the plants and animals that call it home. Bottlenose dolphins, loggerhead sea turtles, and numerous birds are common sightings. Your guide pulls crab traps and throws cast nets to bring marine life onboard to put in our touch tank for closer examination.
The majority of our scheduled trips are aboard our covered 49-passenger pontoon boat equipped with a restroom and beaching ramp. We also offer inshore fishing and private eco tours on our 6-passenger and 16-passenger boats through our sister website, isleofpalmfishing.com. Book your Charleston, SC boat tours online today!
