About

MYSTERIOUS. ENCHANTING. ETHEREAL; These are just a few of the words that describe what is waiting for you on the back roads of South Carolina. Unlike any other experience you have ever had, join our guides as we usher you onto dirt roads that once led to plantations that have now since been destroyed. Although the homes of the Old South may be long gone, the Live Oaks and Spanish Moss that line these lanes are waiting for you to capture them.

On this half day excursion, we'll venture into the lesser-known areas around Charleston. Surrounded by marsh, and with a jungle atmosphere, this photo tour will give you everything you're looking for. This will be an experience you never forget.

Accessibility

For this adventure, you'll encounter marshes and both gravel and dirt roads.

Bonus

As an added bonus, all guests will receive a code for 1 FREE month in the online mentorship program, SHARPEN YOUR SHUTTER!
