Summer isn’t over yet and there’s still time for the perfect family getaway. Soak up all that the season has to offer before back to school season kicks in at Montage Palmetto Bluff with these summer adventures.
1/6 Discover Dolphins
No trip to Montage Palmetto Bluff is complete without exploring its peaceful waterways. Float through the lush landscape in one of the canoes or kayaks available complimentary. For a truly memorable experience, let an experienced captain take you out on a Dolphin Discovery Tour. Sail through hidden creeks and undeveloped islands and experience Atlantic bottlenose dolphins up close. Other great family options include a fun-filled day on the water designed just for kids and teen tubing excursions.
2/6 Explore Daufuskie Island
Take a day trip and head back in time. Tucked between Palmetto Bluff and Savannah and accessible only by boat, the island provides a glimpse into the Lowcountry’s rich history. Beyond the culture, the white-sand beaches and elegant homes set the scene for the perfect day. Unplug, stroll the rustic roads and enjoy a day of family bonding.
3/6 Hit the Trails
There’s no better way to explore the Montage Palmetto Bluff property than along its winding trails. Walk, jog or grab a bike and head out into the breathtaking maritime forest. The Maritime Loop is perfect for families, where you might even spot white-tailed deer and birds of prey. Go off-road on a mountain bike or take it easy and try out an electric bike. Or, head to the stables and enjoy a horseback trail ride. Pony rides are also offered for younger guests.
4/6 Learn a New Sport
Weaving throughout the May River Forest, the May River Golf Course is an 18-hole, Jack Nicklaus Signature Course featuring several holes overlooking the banks of the river. Take a private golf lesson to get up to par or take a swing at the world-class practice facility. Take the kids to the tennis courts or basketball court to work up a sweat or spend a day on the lawn playing croquet or bocce ball for some good old fashioned fun.
5/6 Take a Field Trip
School may be out for the summer, but that doesn’t mean the learning has to stop. Explore the vast outdoor classroom at your fingertips and head out on a field trip with the Palmetto Bluff Conservancy. The Conservancy educates hotel guests on the landscapes and wildlife areas throughout the Lowcountry both inside and outside the property.
6/6 Attend a Summer Concert
Lowcountry is famous for feet-stomping music like blues, jazz, Southern rock and bluegrass. Take advantage of the music scene with a one-of-a-kind experience at Montage Palmetto Bluff. Enjoy musical guests at the May River Chapel for an evening of live music set along the banks of the May River or take part in the Summer Concert Series, which brings out the best of the Lowcountry tunes to celebrate on those hot summer nights.
