Exploring the Places We Call Home

Since 1992, we’ve been guiding people into the wild beauty of the South Carolina coast—by kayak, paddleboard, and boat—with the belief that meaningful experiences in nature change us for the better.

As naturalists, storytellers, and locals, we love sharing what we know about this place: its tides and trails, its wildlife and history, its hidden corners and open skies.

From Cape Romain to Beaufort, our waterside outposts connect people to the Lowcountry’s creeks, estuaries, and barrier islands. We’re here to make the outdoors feel close, accessible, and unforgettable.

Protecting the Places We Explore

In 2018, our founder Chris Crolley launched the Coastal Expeditions Foundation to take action for the wild places we guide people through every day. It began with a fight to restore Crab Bank, a critical seabird nesting island in Charleston Harbor—one of only five like it on the South Carolina coast. We knew we couldn’t stand by and watch it disappear.

Since then, the Foundation has grown into a year-round commitment to conservation. From protecting loggerhead nests in Cape Romain to preserving seabird sanctuaries and providing free environmental education to local students, our mission is clear: to care for the next generation of Earthlings—hatchlings and kids alike.
