Take your pick: You can see the beautiful Beaufort area on foot, from a bike, a bus, a carriage, a boat, or a kayak!

Whichever tour method you choose, the perfect starting point is The Point. The Point encompasses the eastern portion of downtown Beaufort, and includes several blocks of pre and post-Civil War mansions, all privately owned and lovingly restored.

Tucked into narrow interlocking streets and adorned by natural foliage and centuries-old, moss-draped live oak trees, this area is one of the focal points of the city's historic district, and is best viewed with a professional guide, either walking, by horse-drawn carriage, or bus. Additional fine homes from the Civil War era can be found in the western portion of town, many with unrivaled water views.

Step-on guided island bus tours, boat tours, and kayak tours showcase the history, heritage and natural beauty of the coastal Lowcountry. Sport fishing, bike tours, horseback riding and adventure tours also are popular year-round.

Tour tickets are available for purchase daily at our Visitor Center. Walking, bus, boat and carriage tours are offered by certified professional guides regularly. Contact us for varying pricing and current scheduling information.
