Calling all nature lovers! Come out with our top-of-the-line naturalists once a month to see the best parts of Bulls Island each season. These fully guided excursions will include a boat cruise to and from the island, easy-to-moderate hiking, and safari-style transportation on the island to bring you to our favorite views and wildlife hotspots. Details are included for each month below!

September 10th – Wildlife Safari & Boneyard Exploration

Your guides will transport you to the Observation Tower overlooking Jacks Creek – a 500-acre freshwater impoundment with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop. You’ll soak in the panoramic view before walking the levees that cut through the stunning freshwater habitat. Expect to see alligators, wading birds, birds of prey, and much more as the naturalist leads you to the iconic Boneyard Beach at low tide to search for shorebirds, beach treasures, and skeletonized trees stranded on a wilderness beach!

October 28th – Wildlife Safari, Sunset & Full Moon

Join us on Halloween Weekend for a walk on the wild side! Your guides will transport you to the densest population of American Alligators outside of the Everglades. You’ll walk the levees of Jacks Creek, spotting dozens of alligators and hundreds of birds! We’ll be back on the boat to look for dolphins at sunset and to witness the Hunter’s Moon rising over the quiet creeks of Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.

November 26th – Wildlife Safari & Boneyard Exploration

Your guides will transport you to the Observation Tower overlooking Jacks Creek – a 500-acre freshwater impoundment. You’ll soak in the panoramic view before walking the levees that cut through the stunning freshwater habitat. Expect to see alligators, migratory waterfowl, and much more as your guide leads you to the iconic Boneyard Beach at low tide to search for shorebirds, beach treasures, and skeletonized trees stranded on a wilderness beach!
