More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Palmetto Bay Marina as the air cools and the marsh exhales salt and cedar smoke. On a two-hour loop around creeks and the Intracoastal, conversation quiets and the sky stages its daily finale: bands of gold and pink folding into deep blue while the wake writes a path behind you.

History
Hilton Head’s waterways have long supported fishing, oystering, and the Gullah-Geechee culture; communal seafood boils evolved as social meals tied to the harvest.
Conservation
These marshes are sensitive to disturbance and rising sea levels; avoid feeding wildlife, listen to crew guidance, and pack out waste whenever possible.
