Barrier Island Drop-Off Fossil Hunting Adventure!
Overview
Let a true local guide you to one of the best fossil hunting sites in the Lowcountry! Before you set off on your hunt, I'll share my knowledge of the area and some pro tips on getting the most out of your excursion.
You're sure to enjoy your experience finding one-of-a-kind treasures on this the beautiful barrier island.
Since this experience requires a good bit of walking, it is recommended to pack as light as you can while still bringing everything you will need for the trip. I suggest a backpack big enough to hold water, snacks, sunscreen and bug spray.
*There is a 2-person minimum required for this trip.
