Hunting Island Boat Tours

OUR HUNTING ISLAND BOAT TOURS ARE ONE OF A KIND!

Come out with our team of naturalists and captains and enjoy an adventure to explore the estuary and hidden creeks.

Learn about native bottlenose dolphins, hike the trails of St. Phillips Island or relax on a sunset cruise. You’ll enjoy the engaging stories that the captains tell as we take in the beauty of the Lowcountry. Our campus is located on Ward’s Creek on St. Helena Island. Tours daily!

“WHEN I CAME TO BEAUFORT I HAD STRUCK UPON A LAND SO BEAUTIFUL I HAD TO HUNT FOR WORDS.”

We share Pat Conroy’s affectionate descriptions of Beaufort. Seeing it on a Coastal Expeditions tour allows you to slow down and take it all in: the endless fields of marsh grass, dolphins breaching nearby in the creek, pelicans diving for fish, a golden sunset. It never gets old.

ON THE MAP

We’re Located on Sea Island Parkway, just a few miles from Hunting Island State Park and Fripp Island. Our basecamp is your gateway to the sea islands, and the perfect point of departure for boat tours from St. Helena.
