Immerse yourself in the beauty and wildlife of Capers Island on our eco tour!

Venture to Capers Island Heritage Preserve, a pristine barrier island only reachable by boat that is just north of Charleston, South Carolina. We will cruise through winding tidal creeks to find diverse wildlife living in this salt marsh ecosystem. Your naturalist guide will explain all about our local ecology and wildlife encountered along the way. Common sightings include bottlenose dolphins, bald eagles, and numerous shore and wading birds.

Along the way we’ll employ nets and traps for an up-close look at some of the marine life that thrives below the surface.  As you arrive on the island, you are free to explore it’s astounding natural landscape, “Boneyard Beach”and interior trails and ponds.

I loved every minute of it and learned so much about the salt marshes. It’s obvious that our captain is passionate about teaching all ages. He gave an amazingly engaging tour that I never wanted to end. Everything was breathtakingly beautiful. I recommend this tour to all ages!!

This was our third tour and loved it! Great guides and smiling captains make for a fun time for our family. On every trip we have seen wildlife in the water and on land - all framed by beautiful scenery as far as the eyes can see. We highly recommend this for your next trip to Isle of Palms!

Can't say enough good things about this excursion. The staff and captain were extremely informative, friendly, funny and engaging. Capers Island is an undeveloped barrier island and is truly a beautiful place to spend some time and to see the natural evolution of an island when left untouched. Definitely family friendly.
