Sandlapper Tours, Inc. invites your students and teachers to step out beyond the classroom and onto our 45ft. US Coast guard Certified catamaran. Exciting and creative History and Nature Programs, based on SC Quality Core Curriculum Standards, await them in this natural environment. All programs are age appropriate and have been designed for students in Grades K- High School. We also have a Student Package Tour called "Waves and Walkways" where students get a historical walking tour and a nature tour on the Palmetto! Ans don't forget to check out the combo tour with the SC Aquarium called "From See to Sea" (available for all ages).
