Science by the Sea provides a private boat tour for two adults per tour and begins on the Beaufort Waterfront. The 3-hour tour ventures into remote areas of the Rachel Carson Reserve not accessible by the local ferry operators. You'll observe dolphins, turtles, shorebirds, and wild horses during your transit along the shores & tidal creeks of the Reserve. I'll guide your exploration of the natural history & ecosystem as we journey through tidal flats, sandy beaches, & upland growth of maritime forests. You'll learn about the history of the Reserve's most famous residents (i.e. , horses) and observe the equine marvels feeding and interacting along the edges of tidal marsh. We'll observe birds of prey & shorebirds that feed in this pristine ecosystem and explore the vital role Rachel Carson played in their survival. Located along the Atlantic Flyway, the Reserve provides a resting & refueling point for numerous migratory birds. You'll have opportunities to capture nature with your camera or collect seashells cast ashore with the tides. Your tour ends where it begins. Sunset Tours are also available. Look for the late afternoon times on the calendar. (Miriam is the owner/operator of Science by the Sea & has been guiding visitors through the Rachel Carson Reserve since 1997.)
