What to expect

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which acts as your personal tour guide, audio guide and map all in one. This self-guided driving tour takes you from Savannah to Charleston, offering glimpses of South Carolina’s Lowcountry — a harmonious blend of wildlife, history, and culture.

Take a trip through the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, where you might see alligators sunbathing and herons gliding over the marshes. Stop off in Hardeeville and Ridgeland to hear tales of Southern traditions, barbecue, railroads and small-town charm. Then, venture to Saint Helena Island to delve into the fascinating Gullah Geechee culture at the Penn Center.

Next, visit the Old Sheldon Church Ruins, a poignant testament to colonial and Civil War history. Cross the Combahee River and learn about Harriet Tubman’s raid that freed hundreds of enslaved people. Nature enthusiasts will relish the ACE Basin, a vast estuary teeming with migratory birds.

Take a moment to visit the Pon Pon Chapel of Ease before marvelling at the 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree. Next, discover Drayton Hall, one of America's best-preserved plantation houses. Continue along Ashley River Road and keep an eye out for the quirky Coburg Cow sign.

Finish your journey at Charles Towne Landing, where the first English settlers arrived, before heading to Charleston with its cobblestone streets, pastel-coloured houses and stunning waterfront views.
