Top Trips at Coastal Expeditions Beaufort

Here are some of our most popular tours, cruises, trips, and camps…

The Coastal Expeditions Beaufort St. Phillips Island Ferry

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.
