Join Carolina Wildlife Care for a fantastic evening and witness a natural phenomenon that you must see to believe! Come with us aboard Lake Murray's newest and largest air conditioned charter passenger yacht, the "Spirit of Lake Murray" as we set sail for an evening of food, drinks and purple martins!

Our destination, Bomb Island, the largest purple martin sanctuary in North America where close to one million purple martins converge on the island each year before making a grueling 2,000 to 5,000 mile-long journey to their wintering grounds in Mexico or South America.

Watch alongside friends and other nature lovers as purple martins arrive overhead from every direction before forming a circling funnel cloud of birds. Learn more about the purple martins and their care during rehabilitation from CWC Executive Director, Joanna Weitzel. And if possible, share in the thrill of releasing a rehabilitated purple martin into the roost that evening! There is nothing else like it!!
