Departing daily from the Downtown Marina of Beaufort, this 1.25 hour tour aboard the Prince of Tides offers you a scenic tour of Beaufort and the Beaufort River that you won't see anywhere else. Fully narrated, passengers are provided information about the ecology, the wildlife and the homes of the planters. Playful dolphins vie for your attention, though, as the stately osprey soars overhead.
