Tour Overview
Savannah to Charleston Bike Tour
Ride part of the low country, a 200-mile stretch of coastal South Carolina and Georgia that exudes an aristocratic charm draped in southern hospitality, fascinating history, charming Victorian and Antebellum architectures, delectable cuisine, and a quintessential scenic character. Enjoy 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. Cycle the spectacular South Carolina town of Beaufort, Sullivan Island, Fort Moultrie, and Fort Sumter National Monument, famously known as the starting point of the American Civil War. Enjoy a lowcountry boil and learn about the Gullah Gechee’s history and traditions.
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. This Savannah to Charleston bike trip offers moderate temperatures and great weather in both the spring and fall.
