Join us on an active 3-day/2-night trip for an in-depth look at the varied habitats within Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.  

Expert guides lead you through the weekend, creating a Lowcountry experience that is unmatched in service and knowledge. You’ll see the best birding spots, track bobcats and deer, explore the beach at sunrise, and hike alongside alligator-laden ponds. You’ll learn the history of the island back to the Native Americans and to the present. This is an immersion in local history, geology, biology, and marine science. You’ll spend most of each day in the field, returning to the house for group meals and a good night’s rest! Participants should be able to walk several miles each day at an easy to moderate pace.

Daily excursions include:
Sunrise at Boneyard Beach
Sunset boat cruise around the island when conditions allow
Birding at freshwater impoundments
Exploring pristine wilderness beach
Extended hikes to see historical sites or significant wildlife

Adventurous, Birding, Dolphins & Wildlife

Just outstanding! Our guide/naturalist, Gates was so knowledgeable but he did not make you feel like you were in a lecture, but rather he was sharing his knowledge and excitement. He was assisted by an enthusiastic guide Katie who has a smile that lights up the dawn. The island is so interesting on so many levels and we explored a lot of it. And Papa Mo made sure we were the best fed group anywhere. I don't often write a review, but this experience was so extraordinary that I felt I should.
