Fort Sumter Ferry — Attraction in Mount Pleasant

As we pulled into the parking lot of the Fort Sumpter Ferry, we were happily greeted by a wonderful lady who gave us directions where to park. At this point, we knew this was going to be an amazing experience! There was plenty of parking and parking for people with disabilities. After parking. We were shuttled to the front gate. We purchased our tickets. They do offer discounts, so be sure to find out what applies to you and your group. We boarded the ferry. There were accommodations for people with disabilities. The ferry ride was fun. The tour guides who were 3 Rangers were very knowledgeable. We observed several dolphins frolicking in the water. Once we arrived at Fort Sumter, it was amazing. The Fort is in great shape and so much to see. They give you one hour before you will need to get back to the ferry. There is a souvenir shop for you to visit. Oh yes, there are accommodations for people with disabilities at the Fort. There is limited seating available at the Fort. Our ferry ride was just as fun heading back. Once off the ferry, there was the shuttle to take is to our vehicle. While in the area. Fort Sumter Ferry is a must visit! You definitely earned your...

On the way back we even got to see some dolphins jumping, what a great way to end the day. I definitely recommend taking the ferry to Fort Sumter even though the price seems a little high but we only had to pay for us adults not the...

Fun ride! There are chairs with out arms downstairs and you can request them to bring up, if you cannot traverse the stairs.

The voyage is about 30 minutes. I sat towards the stern of the ferry, and we enjoyed watching the seagulls catching fish.

There is a restroom on the island but it up a flight of stair and the elevator was not in service.

There are also zero handicapped restrooms available… which they announced as we set sail. I thought that was an important tidbit to be aware of.

I happy that we went, but probably will...
