Explore the Lowcountry Backwaters with Island Explorer. Starting at The Old Oyster Factory docks near the top of Broad Creek, we glide through the Lowcountry Salt Marsh, you'll see dolphins, many birds, and beautiful scenery.
Leaving Broad Creek, our fast, comfortable expedition boat brings us quickly across the Calibogue (pronounced "Kali-Bogee") Sound into the creeks around Bull Island and Barataria Island. Barataria Island is now owned by The Nature Conservancy and remains an undeveloped island surrounded by pristine marsh and tidal creeks.
We make this trip during the High Tides so that you have a beautiful view over the marsh. You'll observe many birds and a beautiful wildlife habitat. You may even want to bring a picnic to enjoy on the boat.
It's a nature lover's and photographer's dream trip.
After enjoying the serenity and beauty of the Lowcountry Backwaters, we'll travel back into the Calibogue Sound and along the oyster shell reefs where you'll often seen pelicans standing in a row.
We'll stop at Oyster Shell Reef near the entrance to "No Name Creek" just across from Dafuskie Island. You can step off the boat onto the the reef to sort through the layers of sun-bleached oyster shells and see the marsh up close.
This three-hour trip is offered only around the High Tide and on certain days of the week. Please call our reservation line to see if you can be one of the luckey few to make this journey.
