Top Trips at Coastal Expeditions Beaufort
Here are some of our most popular tours, cruises, trips, and camps…
St. Phillips Island Ferry
The reason why Coastal Expeditions came to Beaufort! In partnership with South Carolina Parks, Recreation and Tourism, we provide a land and sea excursion to an undeveloped barrier island that is home to old growth forests, freshwater swales, pristine beaches, and salty marshes.
Beaufort Dolphin & History Cruise
As we cruise along the waterfront, the captain shares stories about local history, beginning with Native Americans and into Spanish exploration, French settlement and English colonization. Along the way, we’re likely to see playful bottlenose dolphins, nesting bald eagles and ospreys on the hunt.
St. Helena Kayak Tour
Our most popular kayak tour! Beginners and experienced paddlers alike are welcome to join us on this 2 hour exploration of the expansive salt marsh that lies between St Helena and the barrier islands. This guided tour is a great intro to the area and sets you up perfectly for a kayak rental on your own when you come back to see us!
