Our focus at Botany Bay Ecotours is to provide content-rich programs that have a low impact on the environment. We offer a variety of tours and we're glad to work with you to create a custom tour during your visit. Kayaking is for people with an active lifestyle and children 14 and older. If you prefer less activity or have younger children, we recommend a motorboat tour.  Here's a sampling of our most popular tours...

Dolphin Kayak and Boat EcoTours: These trips focus on the ever-popular bottlenose dolphins. Paddle or cruise with the dolphins and learn about their amazing life history. Keep in mind that dolphins are wild animals and we can't guarantee their presence. However, we feel a trip on the water in the ACE Basin is always a worthy way to spend time whether the dolphins join us or not. Kayaking is for people who enjoy outdoor, physical activity. The boat tour is for people who prefer a more relaxed outing. $40 per person, 2 hours.

 

Island Safari: Grab a beach towel and pack a picnic and we will take you to a secluded island get-away. Explore a beach as it was hundreds of years ago with no houses and few people. On the way, we'll tell you about the amazing cultural history linked to the area. Once on the beach, there are plenty of wonderful beach treasures to explore which your guide can help identify. We support the ecotour principle of "take only photos and leave only footprints" so the treasures will stay on the beach for the next explorers to discover.   

 

Sunset Cruise: Unreel and unwind while your captain takes you on a cruise that is t he perfect ending to a day on Edisto. Watchthe birds heading for their roosts, the dolphins feeding and your cares slipping away. We will drop you on a secluded island to stroll the beach as the sun goes down. Bring a cold beverage of your choice or if you want to make it a perfect date night, schedule this one as a champagne sunset tour. $40 per person- 1 1/2 hours.
