Enjoy a 3.5-hour boat excursion as we venture to Capers Island, one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands. We will cruise through winding tidal creeks to find diverse wildlife living in this salt marsh environment. Common sightings include bottlenose dolphin, osprey, pelicans, bald eagles, herons, egrets, and more. Along the way we'll employ various nets and habitat traps for an up-close look at some of the rarely seen marine creatures that thrive below the surface. As you arrive on Capers, you will have about an hour and a half to explore its pristine "Bone-yard Beach" and interior freshwater ponds. Capers provides excellent opportunities for shelling and bird watching.

5.00Barrier Island Eco Tours took our school group of 5th graders on a fantastic tour. The students loved learning about the crabs, dolphins, turtles, and clams. Our guide and boat driver were wonderful. They even grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch on Capers Island. It was a delightful experience! I highly recommend this journey to anyone and everyone!
Capers Island Wildlife Exploration is great!

5.00This was our 4th trip on the Capers Island Wildlife Exploration with Barrier Islands Eco Tours, each one taken on a special occasion or with family visiting from out of town. Mickey, our guide yesterday, shares her vast knowledge of all things related to marshes, estuaries, coastal birds, dolphins, crabs and oysters, fielding questions and giving everyone a chance to see things close up. We always learn something new! Capers Island provides a wonderful 40 minute or so walking break on the boat ride where we see the boneyard beach. The Capers Island Wildlife Exploration is for everyone!

5.00Great day for a trip to Capers Island. Boat was clean, comfortable and Captain Robert was awesome. He grew up on and around the water and is very educational. Saw a couple dolphin: stopped by an oyster bed/bank; retrieved a crab pot which had blue crab and stone crab. Captain Robert taught us about each species. Roberts’ canine side campanion (Isabell i think was her name) was a hit on the boat with everyone. We had plenty of time to explore the island before heading back. We would recommend this trip to family and friends.
The highlight of our Charleston trip

5.00We did the Capers Island Wildlife Exploration Tour with Mike (and his Fourth Mate, Polly, who is an absolute delight and a highlight in her own right), and it was genuinely the best activity we did during our entire trip to Charleston. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and wildlife, and he has a real gift for making that knowledge accessible and engaging for adults and kids alike. We had our six-year-old with us, and Mike kept everyone captivated the whole time. We got up close with dolphins, learned a ton about the area, and spent time exploring Capers Island with no one else around. Just us, the beach, and the most beautiful "boneyard" you've ever seen. It was fun, educational, unhurried, and memorable in all the right ways. If you're visiting Charleston and looking for something to do that's a little off the beaten path, stop looking. Book this tour.
Capers island excursion was excellent!
