Exploring the Lowcountry marshes
2hr Private Golden Hour Boat Cruise on July 27, 2026

If you're looking for an authentic Lowcountry experience, I can't recommend Out Yonder Excursions enough. Our cruise along the Stono River was the perfect combination of relaxation, wildlife and local history. Captain Chris was outstanding! His passion for the Lowcountry really shines through and he shared fascinating insights about the marshes, the river and the delicate ecosystem that makes this area so special. It felt less like a tour and more like spending time on the water with someone who genuinely loves what they do. One of the highlights was seeing so many dolphins and other native wildlife in their natural habitat. The scenery was beautiful and the entire trip gave us a new appreciation for Charleston's coastal environment. Whether you're visiting the area or have lived here for years, Out Yonder Excursions is an experience that's well worth your time. We'll definitely be back for another adventure!
