Brookgreen Gardens
Brookgreen Gardens is the place to go for a more relaxing day of adventures. You can hang out in the botanical gardens or take a peek at the three different art galleries around the gardens. If you want a little more pace, you can take everyone through the Lowcountry history tours by boat or bus or check out all the animals at the Lowcountry Zoo. This place has it all!
Atalaya Castle
This castle was built by Archer Huntington during the Great Depression as a winter home away from New York. The history of the castle is fascinating. During WWII, the Huntington’s allowed the US Air Corps to use it as a barracks until the war was over. It’s a striking blend of Spanish and Moorish design along with some of Archer’s own flare!

All of their prices are affordable and include everything from the boat, paddles, life jackets, and even taxes! They pride themselves on never overcharging or having hidden fees.
