To learn more about alligators, sign up for a one-hour guided alligator tour on the lakes within the Sea Pines Preserve. You’ll cruise aboard a comfortable canopied electric boat with a trained naturalist guide who will detail facts about the wildlife and the surrounding area, with special focus on the American alligator and its behavior.  The tour accommodates 12 passengers of all ages, including infants and toddlers. Advanced reservations are required.

Take a guided family wagon tour of the Sea Pines Forest Preserve.  Sit back, relax, and let the storyteller take you along a memorable journey.  You’ll learn about the Island’s history. You’ll go through the woods to search for turtles, alligators, birds and other critters.  See the old Carolina Gold rice fields and the ceremonial Indian shell rings.  You’ll pass by Lake Joe, Fish Island, and the Heritage Farm.  The wagon tour operates on a seasonal schedule so make sure you call ahead for the schedule.
