Kiawah Island Nature Program
Kiawah Island is renowned for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and vast salt marshes, Kiawah has a mixture of lush maritime forests, brackish water ponds, and picturesque dunes.
Exploring this varied habitat gives you the opportunity to observe the tremendous variety of flora and fauna present on this pristine barrier island. During your stay on Kiawah, tour the island with our Naturalist staff as they open your eyes to the nature of Kiawah.
Our animal friends have a brand-new home inside The Treehouse Activity Center, offering guests an exciting space to discover and connect with Kiawah Island’s wildlife.
Stop by to see and learn from the wide variety of animal exhibits featuring local favorites like diamondback terrapins, alligators, and snakes, or join one of our guided wildlife tours.
Get up close with Kiawah’s incredible wildlife by land and by sea. Whether you’re paddling through winding creeks, cruising the open water, or scouting for creatures across our scenic coastal habitats, our guided encounters bring you face-to-face with the heart of the Lowcountry.
