Capers Island Wildlife Exploration

Barrier Island EcoTours

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 entertain you with their knowledge about our local ecology and wildlife encountered along the way. Common sightings include bottlenose dolphins, numerous shore and wading birds, oyster bed communities (we sample them during oyster season) and sometimes a sea turtle or manatee. Along the way pull crab traps and put specimens in our onboard touch tank for a closer investigation. We love to kids involved in helping pull traps and holding some of the marine life. We also have an onboard specimen table loaded with shells and skulls for all to hold and learn about. As you arrive on Capers Island, you are free to explore it’s stunning 'Boneyard Beach', a sculpture garden of trees left on the front beach as a result of erosion. Great trip for all ages! Our boat is covered with a restroom and beaching ramp. We spend about 1.5 hours on the boat cruising slow exploring the salt marsh tidal creeks. Kids stay entertained the whole time and are free to move around. We then stop on Capers for about an hour and a half where you are free to explore on your own. Our naturalist will be out there for any questions. During cooler months you can take interior trails to explore the maritime forest or interior ponds. You are welcome to swim as well. Bring anything you like to eat or drink in a small cooler or use ours. The boat stays pulled up on the beach so if you need to use the restroom or sit in the shade you are welcome to. Meet at the Isle of Palms Marina.
