Looking to see the Grand Strand in a unique way?

Taking a tour on the Grand Strand can take many forms: by road, water, and air, especially with multiple choices to scan the Strand from rides aboard a helicopter.

Many tours are seasonal, so check ahead and make reservations, whether for a shelling cruise off Georgetown, or a relaxing cruise on the Barefoot Princess Riverboat, which departs from Barefoot Landing.
