While visiting Charleston, South Carolina a few months ago, I ended up trying something called Tiki Tours of Charleston. It’s a small tiki-style boat ride, nothing fancy or expensive, but it turned out to be one of the most fun and relaxing experiences of the trip.

It reminded me that some of the best travel memories don’t come from the big-ticket attractions, they’re just little, low-cost things you stumble upon. Has anyone else found any surprisingly fun, cheap activities while traveling in the U.S.?
