The activity is nonstop with songs to sing, , water cannons to blast, treasure to find and maps to read, there is no time for lolligagin!

This was such a treat for our family! A wonderful adventure that continued for many days afterwards, as the kids could not stop talking about how much fun they had. I cannot say enough about this adventure and the crew that operates the pirate ship. They were amazing! This was money well spent and I highly recommend this to all families.

The Ocean Course

Highly recommended golf course with dramatic views of the Atlantic.

Reviewed By Tochdown - Atlanta, Georgia

We teed it up at the Ocean Course on a Saturday morning and had a great experience. The corse was in excellent shape. The layout was better then I imagined. The property lies in a lowlands marsh area along the Atlantic Ocean. This gives it unique views from every hole. No out of bounds and no bunkers, just waste bunkers made it fun to play as well. Unless you hit in water, you can normally find the ball with the great caddie help. If not, it is played as a lateral to speed up play. It truly is one of my favorite courses. It helps that I broke 80 too!
We played Osprey point that afternoon and enjoyed it as well. The island has a private feel and if you are lucky to play on a not so busy day, it felt like you are playing at a private club. 50 minute drive from downtown Charleston where we ate great dinners every night.

A wonderful tour, affordable, and only an hour or so. Lots of fun information by a local guide with lots of stories. Highly recommend as a short alternative to the larger plantation. Also, its near the Angel Oak (another great site).Hi Kay, thank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and found our tour guide fun and interesting.

Reviewed By David A - Singapore

We took a group aged 11-48 for the 6:45am paddle and it was wonderful. A perfect cloudy day (cool, for August). Our guide made sure we knew what we were doing, as we were all novices. We saw amazing wildlife - birds, crabs, Stingrays, dolphins - with just enough naturalist info to keep us learning while having fun. A very professional outfit - highly recommended!

Kiawah Island

A major golf course, beautiful beaches and miles of conservation land make this private island a desirable attraction.

Reviewed By ChrisFromCincinnati - Cincinnati

Kiawah is a beautiful, heavily tropically-wooded island about 30 minutes south of Charleston.
It's mostly an island of just homes and world class golf courses. A top end hotel and a shopping village called Freshfields.
Endless beaches that are never very busy with sand so firm you can ride bikes on it!
A lovely bucolic spot of paradise!

Kiawah Beachwalker Park

Reviewed By Tracy D - Houston, Texas

Loved this beach on Kiawah Island!! So clean, peaceful and not crowded. Compared to Sullivan's Island, Kiawah is so much more secluded and nice. The sand is soft, water is pretty clear and you don't feel like tourists have taken over! $10 for parking and you can bring your own cooler with food/drinks. Restrooms are clean and there are outdoor showers for you to rinse off after. Worth the drive from Charleston- would highly recommend as a must see when in SC!

Several small restaurants, an ice cream shop, a couple of shops and a lovely view. It's a cute place to take your kids. Probably not the best hang out for twenty-somethings. It is a good but smaller alternative to Freshfields next island over.

Freshfields Village

Freshfields Village is a perfect (and perfectly charming) mix of shops, businesses and restaurants in a timeless and peaceful setting designed to evoke an era gone by. So much more than a spectacular place to shop, Freshfields Village is where Charleston residents and visitors alike meet to find the perfect gift, enjoy fine and casual dining and share unique cultural events like outdoor concerts, art exhibits and festivals.

Reviewed By Vesver - Charleston, South Carolina

Freshfields Village is a great little shopping center. There are several restaurants, shops and a Harris Teeter. Shopping is not cheap. There are several gift shops with full “retail” prices. Clothing shops were interesting but prices were high. We were there the day after Thanksgiving but walking around was easy. No one was in a hurry nor did they seem to mind if they had to wait in line to make a purchase. It was a delightful area to just walk around.
