Led by licensed Captain Bryan, these walking tours will show guests the important ecological and historical nature of one of Charleston’s oldest commercially used waterways. A myriad of aquatic life can be seen including but not limited to crabs, dolphins, birds (osprey, pelicans, egrets, and herons) and the rare manatee. This tour also includes discussing the deep and historical roots this waterway had on the growth of Mt. Pleasant and Charleston. Guests get a behind the scenes look at several shrimp processing facilities and markets along with a small local snack. Tours are tailored to each outing, no experience necessary.
About Charleston Historic Tours
The one of a kind perspective from cruising the water of Charleston Harbor provides insight into how this historic city developed since its founding in 1670.
The vessel used is a 22 foot bay boat going over the same seabed that saw a pirate blockade by the dreaded Blackbeard, one of the first major Revolutionary War Victories at the Battle of Fort Moultrie, and a Civil War naval blockade and battle that would inspire movies like ‘Glory’. Captain Bryan will provide history about 5 historic sites (Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter, The Battery (Oyster Point), Castle Pinckney and the site of Fort Johnson.
Along these tours you will also have the opportunity to see a multitude of native wildlife including the friendly bottlenose dolphin and diving pelicans.
