Full description

Sail into Charleston’s rich history and Southern charm with a two-part adventure that blends a scenic harbor tour with a visit to one of the region’s most iconic plantations. Step aboard the classic Carolina Belle for a narrated cruise through Charleston Harbor, where more than 75 landmarks come into view—including Fort Sumter, the stately homes along the Battery, and the sweeping Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. Along the way, the stories of Charleston’s role in America’s past come to life, all while enjoying the fresh breeze and panoramic views from the water.
Afterward, explore Boone Hall Plantation, just outside of Charleston, where history and natural beauty meet. Known as one of America’s oldest working plantations, Boone Hall offers a glimpse into centuries of Lowcountry life. Walk through the iconic Avenue of Oaks, tour the mansion and historic brick slave cabins, and wander lush gardens filled with camellias, roses, and Southern blooms. With its blend of history, culture, and scenery, this Charleston experience is a perfect balance of coastal charm and historic discovery.
