A View from Charleston Harbor

Guests can relax aboard the Carolina Belle as they cruise the scenic Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River. Visitors to Charleston Harbor Tours will enjoy a 90 minute tour of the harbor as the captain gives guests history and insight on the landmarks and points of interest along the way. Patrons can expect to see various church steeples, army forts, and historic buildings. They may also be joined by pelicans and a curious dolphin or two. This is an excellent option for folks looking to put their feet up and cruise while taking in some beautiful scenery.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

    ~ Nicky H.
  • We so enjoyed our time in Charleston. Thank you for all your insight! I am recommending your services to everyone I know who is traveling to Charleston!

    ~Kathryn C.
  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.

    ~ Harriett H.
  • These Charleston pros do a phenomenal job in any setting. Audra was our point person and is a pleasure to work with. She is laid back and can work with any request.
