What makes Out Yonder Excursions LLC different?
Out Yonder Excursions specializes in small group trips to remote, quiet parts of the estuary far away from the busy beaches and hustle and bustle of the Charleston Harbor or Shem Creek to places that only the locals know about. We are dedicated to showcasing the natural beauty and ecological importance of Charleston's tidal salt marshes from a local’s perspective with a lesson on the culture and history of the area.
With a focus on educating our guests, we provide truly unique experiences that foster a deeper appreciation for our environment in quiet, isolated, natural areas that are well worth the journey.
This is not your typical harbor cruise or big boat trip with a few dozen strangers in a busy setting with a captain reading from a script. We provide an intimate opportunity to get away from the crowds and explore the REAL Lowcountry.

Our tours offer chances to see a variety of wildlife including dolphins, alligators, birds, fish, crabs and other marine life native to the marsh.

Well behaved dogs are welcome on our private tours, however we ask you leave your pets home for our public excursions.
