Get Your Hands Wet and Learn How the Marsh Works

Do you like getting a bit dirty, working for your dinner, exercising patience, and have a desire for a true Lowcountry Experience? If so, let us introduce you to crabbing! If you’ve ever wondered where the tasty blue crab comes from, this is your chance to roll up your sleeves and see for yourself.

Crabs are one of the most visible — and fascinating — residents of the salt marsh.

Our Crabbing Adventure is an interactive, naturalist-guided experience designed to introduce guests to marsh ecology through hands-on participation. Guests learn about crab species, food webs, and responsible handling while exploring how the marsh supports life along the coast.

This experience is seasonal and condition-dependent, and activity levels vary naturally.

This is a catch and release, hands-on experience.

Learning Through Participation

This experience encourages:

  • observation 
  • questions 
  • hands-on learning 
  • respectful interaction 

It’s especially engaging for kids and families who learn best by doing.

Who This Experience Is Best For

  • Families with curious kids 
  • Hands-on learners 
  • Guests interested in marine life 
  • Visitors looking for an active, educational experience

Please call for day-of bookings as seats are not always available online.
