    Highlights

    Experience Charleston from the water, historic streets, and Boone Hall Plantation with admission to three separate attractions. Schedule your harbor cruise first, then enjoy the carriage ride and plantation on the same day or different days.

    • Cruise Charleston Harbor aboard the 80-foot Carolina Belle with narrated stories and views of Fort Sumter, USS Yorktown, and waterfront landmarks
    • Ride through Charleston's historic district on a narrated one-hour carriage tour
    • Explore Boone Hall Plantation, including the house, Slave Street history tour, tram tour, gardens, and seasonal Butterfly Pavilion
    • Spot dolphins and pelicans that may appear along the harbor route
    • Plan your own transportation to Boone Hall Plantation, about 10 miles from the harbor departure point

    Important details

    • Arrive 20–30 minutes before your scheduled harbor cruise
    • Your scheduled time applies to the harbor cruise only; the carriage ride is reserved separately, and plantation tours are scheduled on site
    • Fuel surcharge applies and is not included in the listed price
    • Do not bring your own food or drinks aboard the Carolina Belle
    • Boone Hall Plantation has very limited wheelchair access due to its period architecture
    • Board the Carolina Belle by ramp; stairs are required to reach the enclosed, climate-controlled lower level

    Cancellation Policy

    Nonrefundable. Reschedule at least 24 hours ahead, subject to availability. If the operator cancels due to severe weather, mechanical breakdown, or low participation, your ticket will be rescheduled or refunded.

    Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens

    Admission included

    Few entrances in the American South are as iconic as the three-quarter-mile Avenue of Oaks leading to Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens. Spanish moss drapes the ancient branches overhead, casting dappled light across a lane that has stood for nearly three centuries in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Beyond the oaks, Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens opens into formal butterfly gardens, a Georgian-style mansion, and a row of original brick slave cabins that stand as a sobering and essential part of the story told here.

    Charleston Harbor tours consistently deliver a relaxing, educational experience on the water, with knowledgeable guides sharing history about Fort Sumter, the bridge, local sea life, and the surrounding waterfront. Friendly, accommodating staff are a recurring highlight across reviews, and the sunset cruise option gets particular praise for its laid-back atmosphere, yacht rock playlist, and gorgeous views. A few reviewers noted that the top deck can fill up quickly, and sightlines can be an issue when it gets crowded, so arriving early to grab a good spot is worth the effort. One tip that keeps coming up: the starboard side tends to offer better views. The good news is there's an air-conditioned lower deck if the top fills up. Overall, this is a well-loved way to experience Charleston from the water, with high marks across a large number of reviews. Staff go out of their way to be helpful, even assisting guests with mobility needs. Whether the vibe you're after is scenic and educational or relaxed and social with a drink in hand, there's likely a tour here that fits the bill.

    This was a much needed relaxing sunset sail this mama and dad needed! Our captain was personable and made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. His mates, Nate and Alicia, were also fantastic—both were attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the sail. Even though it was a gloomy evening, the sunset ended up being absolutely beautiful, and the smooth sailing made for such a peaceful experience. It was the perfect way to enjoy Charleston from the water and take in the scenery. Highly recommend
