Kayak Tour of Barrier Islands & Indian Shell Mounds from Charleston

Become enchanted and renewed by this wonderful tour that meanders through the saltwater marshes and barrier islands surrounded by the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge and along the Intracoastal waterway of the South Carolina Coast.

Cape Romain Refuge habitat is barrier island/salt marsh which extends for 20 miles along the Atlantic Coast. It protects close to 35,000 acres of beach and sand dunes, salt marsh, maritime forests, tidal creeks, fresh and brackish water impoundments, and 30,000 acres of open water.

Within the Refuge are waterfowl, shore birds, wading birds, and raptors and over 300 species of birds! It boasts the largest nesting rookery for brown pelicans, terns, and gulls on the South Carolina coast, as well as the largest nesting population of loggerhead sea turtles outside the State of Florida.

Ages 9 and up for single boats.

Half day, Full day, or 2 hour tours available. Lunch is included for the Full Day Tours.

The Cape Romain Refuge is rich in the history of South Carolina. Sewee Indians inhabited the area. They depended on the tidal creeks and bays for fish, oysters, and clams.

Native shell mounds are located on the Refuge and hold the history of these tribes. English settlers in South Carolina made their first landing in the New World on Bulls Island to resupply their stocks of wood, water, and food before proceeding further south. The English settlers eventually made the first permanent European settlement in South Carolina at what is now know as the City of Charleston.
