Join us on a boat excursion that’s all about birds. Whether you’re a lifelong bird enthusiast or only mildly interested, we guarantee you’ll love finding and learning about some of our feathered residents!
Bird Key is a small island just off Folly Beach, SC. Beginning around March thousands of birds arrive, build nests, lay eggs, and raise their chicks. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a glimpse of the lives of these wonderful animals. Humans cannot set foot on the island, so we stay on the boat and maintain a respectful distance so as to not disturb the residents.
This tour is typically 1.5 hours long and run first thing in the morning.
Species we often see include: brown pelican, black skimmer, oystercatcher, willet, sanderling, different sandpipers/plovers depending on the season, terns, seagulls, and herons/egrets on the ride over.
**Chicks often don’t appear until June. We will update when we have confirmed sightings. Until then this will still be a bird oriented tour with whatever species we find!**
