Beaufort History & Ecology Kayak Tour
WHERE HISTORY AND ECOLOGY CONVERGE
Beaufort was meant to be seen by water. Hop on a two-hour kayak tour departing conveniently from the Downtown Beaufort marina to learn all about human and natural history.
WHAT WE SEE ON THE BEAUFORT KAYAK TOUR
Eastern brown pelicans, great blue herons, ospreys, bald eagles, blue crabs, gulls, marsh hens and terns live and feed on the Beaufort River, and in the summers we may even see a loggerhead sea turtle pop up!
You’ll see downtown Beaufort from a new perspective, and by the end of the guide’s narration you’ll have a new appreciation for human history of the area.
THE EXPERIENCE
The guides at Coastal Expeditions are experienced naturalists with a knack for storytelling. As they lead you through the saltmarsh, they’ll share tales of the area’s history, pointing out our native wildlife along the way.
As we paddle around the Beaufort River, you’ll see iconic Lowcountry views of the Woods Memorial Bridge and sprawling estuaries while learning about the unique ecology and human history of the area. It is sure to be the highlight of your time in Beaufort.

“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.
