The Unforgettable Water Safari You Must Take In South Carolina This Summer
Visiting the South Carolina coast from out of town and want to make sure you go home with some incredible photos of the Lowcountry? If this sounds like you or someone you know, then this unforgettable water photo safari is the perfect solution!
Imagine going back home with stellar photos like this one because someone "in the know" took you to all the cool spots by way of a boat.
Hit the water in the Lowcountry with a Master Naturalist, and 30+ year veteran wildlife photographer for the " waterlife" photo opportunity of a lifetime.
On the tour you'll be joined by up to 4 guests on Horan's Carolina Skiff - perfect for getting into the shallow waters to snap those exquisite wildlife photos you'll want to show everyone when you get back home.
But wildlife isn't all you may see. The tour is so flexible that you could end up landside for a few minutes at one of the Lowcountry's uninhabited islands for beach photos.
Marsh vistas are only part of the waterscape opportunities you'll love on this unique photo safari. Yes, you can probably photograph marshes from land but there's nothing like being in the middle of a marsh to complete the story when you show that photo to others later.
Want to see and photograph those amazing shrimp boats the Lowcountry is so famous for? Just let Lowcountry Photo Safari Tours know so they can schedule you into a Shrimp Boat Tour.
Horan has spent so much time in the Lowcountry and on the water here that he instinctively knows where the birds (and other wildlife) gather, or nest - or both.
Dolphins are quite often photographed on the tours, like this cutie who popped up long enough to smile for the camera. Of course, timing has to be perfect to capture a shot like this one - and that's where you come in.
Here's a shot showing the dolphins "stranding," a term that basically means a group of dolphins forces a school of fish to the shore and the fish hop up on to the sandy shore - followed by the dolphins who jump up and eat lunch.
...then this is the wildlife photo water safari tour for you.
By the way, amateurs are welcome on the tour. You don’t need to be a professional photographer or have a camera lens as long as your arm to get great photos. In fact, all of the photos in this article except two were taken by people on this safari tour. For more information refer to this page on Eric Horan’s official website. You can also contact Eric at Lowcounty Wildlife Photo Safaris directly at this link. Most tours depart from the Beaufort/Hilton Head areas of the Lowcountry.
