Join your friends from SHL on a nature adventure to Capers Island Heritage Preserve. Capers Island is a pristine barrier island just north of Charleston that is only accessible by boat. We will cruise through winding tidal creeks to find diverse wildlife living in this salt marsh ecosystem. A naturalist guide will explain all about our local ecology and wildlife along the way. Common sightings include bottlenose dolphins, bald eagles, and numerous shore and wading birds. When we arrive on the island, you will be free to explore its astounding natural landscape, “Boneyard Beach” and interior trails and ponds. You are welcome to bring your own small cooler of whatever you would like to eat or drink.
Tickets are $55. Buy tickets at

Accessibility:
The departure dock was recently ADA certified for wheelchair access, and the tour company has had groups with handicapped patrons in the past. Once the boat gets to the island, there’s a ramp that connects the boat to the landing which consists mostly of hard pack sand. The destination ramp can be a little tricky to navigate, but is doable, and the sand can make wheelchairs a bit hard to push. After that, the terrain is flat, hard-packed dirt and sand. The tour director has seen guests come with wheelchairs adapted with wide rubber tires that work very well.
