South Carolina

Charleston is the oldest and largest city in South Carolina, it reveals itself differently with every season. Spring brings blooming gardens and fresh seafood. Summer offers sunset harbor cruises and historic ghost tours. Fall transforms the marshlands into golden landscapes perfect for kayaking. Winter means oyster roasts, holiday lights, and peaceful beaches.

But the real Charleston lives beyond the guidebooks. It's the sweetgrass basket weaver sharing generations-old crafts. The chef who knows today's catch by name. The naturalist identifying bird calls in maritime forests. The historian with stories you won't find in books.

Your guests deserves more than a list of attractions. They deserve the insider's Charleston, all that is tucked away as only locals know and love, the predawn fishing charter, the pottery studio, the in-home and hands-free cooking class that connects food to culture. A photoshoot that comes to them, in their vacation rental, with their loved ones.

Explorabout connects your guests to authentic Charleston experiences. As we partner with vacation property managers, we bring curated adventures with local experts and the people, places, and stories that make the Lowcountry unforgettable.
