Review & FAQ:

Barrier Island Ecotours offers boat and pontoon cruises up the intracoastal waterway to Capers Island Preserve, a pristine barrier island just a few miles north of Isle of Palms. These family-friendly excursions boast sightings of bottlenose dolphins, turtles, ospreys, pelicans, bald eagles, herons, egrets, and other animal life. Private charters offer a full day of fishing, crabbing, shelling, and exploration of the salt marshes. Evening festivities include beachside cookouts, bonfires, s’mores, and outdoor games. During the summer months, a marine biology day camp is offered to children ages five to 12 years old. Kids who attend camp get to see, touch, and learn about the ocean’s inhabitants and seaside wildlife.
