Visit Hilton Head Island, a South Carolina barrier island known for white-sand beaches and oak-lined streets. Take in its coastal setting during a stop on the journey through the Lowcountry.

The island’s landscape contrasts with the historic town centres elsewhere on the tour: maritime greenery gives way to broad Atlantic shores. It is a chance to appreciate the scenery that makes this stretch of the Southeast coast distinctive.

Discover Savannah’s historic district on a city tour through oak-lined streets and public squares. See the fountain in Forsyth Park, admire historic homes and take in the waterfront atmosphere of River Street beside the Savannah River.

As the state’s first sea turtle rehabilitation, research and education facility, the centre connects wildlife care with public understanding. Your visit supports its rehabilitation work and offers a closer look at the native animals that depend on healthy coastal habitats.

Walk among the sun-bleached trees of Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island. Explore the shoreline and see how erosion has transformed a former maritime forest into a striking spread of exposed trunks and branches.

The pale wood, shifting sand and Atlantic light make this one of the Georgia coast’s most distinctive natural scenes. Rather than a landscaped attraction, it is a visible reminder that barrier islands continually change shape under the influence of wind and water.

Visit Jekyll Island’s Mosaic Museum for an in-depth look at Black history through music. The Hearing History exhibition introduces Gullah ring shouts, a call-and-response tradition preserved by descendants of enslaved Lowcountry communities.
