Tour Overview
Georgia's Savannah and South Carolina's Charleston
Bike | Walk | Kayak
Bike part of the low country, a 200-mile stretch of coastal South Carolina and Georgia, from Savannah to Charleston soaking in the aristocratic charm draped in southern hospitality, through fascinating history, charming Victorian and Antebellum architectures, enjoying delectable cuisine, and a quintessential scenic character. Explore enthralling corridors of history including the Wormsloe Plantation ruins, the famed St. Helena island of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and an authentic Gullah Geechee dinner at a plantation.
Home to breathtaking scenery and Southern cuisine, this tour also features a kayak trip along the sleepy Ebenezer Creek, a national historic landmark and the site of the Ebenezer Creek Betrayal.

In addition to the numerous historical landmarks and activities, guests will be treated to Sojourn’s version of southern hospitality staying at award-winning accommodations, including TripAdvisor’s 2019 #1 Overall Hotel in the United States, and dining at some of the region’s most acclaimed restaurants.
