Overview

Naturalist guided tours to Capers Island Heritage Preserve. Trips depart from the Isle of Palms Marina and take you through winding salt marsh tidal creeks and the intracoastal waterway to Capers Island. Along the way you will learn about this amazing ecosystem and the plants and animals that call it home. Bottlenose dolphin, loggerhead sea turtles, and numerous birds are common sightings. Your guide will pull crab traps and throw cast nets to bring marine life onboard to put in our touch tank for closer examination. The majority of our scheduled trips are aboard our covered 40 passenger pontoon boat equipped with a restroom and beaching ramp. We also offer inshore fishing and private ecotours on our 6 passenger and 16 passenger boats. Trips include: Capers Island Wildlife Exploration, Dolphin Discovery Sunset, Blue Crabbing Excursion, Creek Fishing, Family Fun Day, and Beachside Cookouts.

Caper Island Eco Tour

Great!!! Guide Mike & Skipper Kathryn were very professional, informative and fun. The marsh tour was enjoyable, we saw several groups of dolphins. The stopover at Caper Island & the Boneyard was cool. Pack a lunch & beverage for your time on the beach

Two great excursions

We took a shark fishing trip and Capers island trip over the weekend and both were more than we expected. Excellent guides, well maintained vessels and great value. Quick communication while booking. We will be using this company again in the future.

A great way to see some of the more remote barrier islands

We loved our eco tour, especially the time spent on Caper Island. We saw pink birds and dolphins. The sunset was gorgeous. The crew were very friendly and answered all of our questions. We didn’t have children with us but there were children on the...More
