Easy to make reservations, but its not guaranteed to go unless they have enough people. The boat is huge and accommodates a lot of people. Bathrooms were clean, snacks available, plenty of historic information. It's good for tourists, a nice relaxing ride.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and lead us to the wild horses. Well worth the trip!

I recently took the Beaufort Cart Tour with Rich. I had a great time and got to see more of…read moreBeaufort than expected as we took a detour to the Beaufort Hotel to pick up others then made some stops along the way. Rich was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the town. We went to Hammock House that is one of the oldest houses in the state. It was used by the Union Army in the Civil War. It is thought to be the "White House" that was used to help those at sea navigate the shoals and harbor entrance. I am interested in architecture so the tour was tailored to that somewhat. Beaufort houses tend to have a white fence with sharp tops so that the chicken and pigs didn't get loose. Neighbors were allowed to kill the animal to eat as long as half was donated to the church. The three sided roof is another Beaufort style to cover the front porches as a form of air conditioning. Some houses are a story and a jump which is a one story house with a sleeping space for children The Old Burying Ground was interesting learning about. Captain Otway Burns is buried with a cannon on his grave. I got attraction and restaurant recommendations too. This was a fun and educational tour that I highly recommend.

My family and I had the pleasure of going on a boat trip with Captain Monty this past weekend, and…read moreit was truly a wonderful experience. We joined Captain Monty and Roy from Royster's Oysters for a tour of the local waterways, along with a visit to Roy's oyster farm. Both Captain Monty and Roy were exceptional hosts--friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The experience was a highlight of our trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and unique outing.

While we hoped to see horses, the incoming storm scared them away. Despite this, we saw dolphins, birds, seashells, and learned so so much about the area, environment, history, and marine practices. We recommend this to anyone considering it and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We took the ferry boat out to Sand Dollar Island. It was a neat experience. The ride out there was…read moreabout a half hour, we spent 2 hours on the island, then we spent an hour on the boat coming back. You could go out into the water as far as you liked to search for sand dollars. I only went about ankle deep. I found a couple broken pieces of sand dollars. I couldn't believe the size of the shells I found! I had quite a collection when we left. We also found some creatures there. The person driving the boat was fun and knowledgeable. We also saw some wild horses and dolphins on the way back. It was fun.

Save your money and do not book this tour if you do not want to waste your money…read more They literally leave loads of people who have already exploited the very small pile of dirt (sandbar) they leave you on to bring more and more people onto a tiny crowded space. All the private tours have already gotten all the sand dollars before their ferries hit the sand. We booked the Sand Dollar Island tour and went as far out in multiple directions and found nothing. There is also a very fierce current going out which could be extremely dangerous. We booked online less than 24 hrs in advance & during the night my military son's pregnant wife came down with Covid and had to be rushed to the ER. I explained how we could provide medical letter and proof and they refused to have extenuating circumstances policies. So basically keeping the money for themselves is more important than customer service. They were rude and care only about their profit, not people nor our service men and women.

When I returned to Beaufort, NC, I knew that the Beaufort Visitor's Center would be my first stop…read more I bought a ticket for the Double Decker bus tour as that seemed like the best way to get better oriented. Seating on the bus is either on the lower level or the top level and it is possible to switch if it gets too hot up top with the sun. It is a 1967 bus. A tour guide narrates as we went along discussing Beaufort's culture and history. The tour covers a lot of areas and the bus driver did an awesome job of getting us into tight spaces. I was fascinated about the spy Emilene Pigott who was a spy for the Confederates during the Civil War. She hid items in her hoop skirts. She even ate documents so they wouldn't be found. The Josiah Bell house was a Victorian styled house built in 1825. The Leffers cottage was built in 1778 and is an example of a story and a jump. It had a demonstration of weaving. I also got to visit the Courthouse which is where people came to be entertained. It was built in 1796 and is wood framed. I saw the Old Jail where one person was hung. It has 28 inch walls and was a home as well as a jail. The building was built in 1829. It has a pillory outside. The Apothecary Shop and Doctor's Office, was built in 1859 and has various items sold in the shop and the doctor artifacts. The bus tour and the historic sights are must sees while in Beaufort.

Clean bathrooms that are open to the public, which is a welcome treat when walking around for hours. You can put on some costumes and take pictures, add to the weaving or shop in the small gift shop. The outside houses several old buildings which all have a great history. A nice, clean place to go when you are new to the area and need some direction on what to do and see!
