Morgan was a fabulous guide who brought us to many different spots along the way. She was very informative and knowledgeable about all the wildlife in the area. I would highly recommend this excursion.
Peaceful relaxing unique experience seeing Shem Creek and the Harbor by kayak. Very knowledgeable guide, Bo. Wildlife including dolphins and explanations of their roles in the ecosystem around Charleston.
This was one of the most fun activities I’ve ever done on vacation! My fiancé had no prior kayaking experience, but the guides were incredibly helpful, patient, and encouraging throughout the tour. They even provided dry bags for our belongings, which was a great touch. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin along with lots of other wildlife. Overall, it was such a memorable experience and I would absolutely recommend it!

Great fun! The guides were excellent . We could have just rented a kayak but having the guide lead us was much better with the added narrative and safety.
Morgan was a lovely tour guide! Had a great day on the water with our family-everyone had a great time!

We enjoyed our kayak trip down Shem Creek learning about the low country eco system. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable. I was traveling with my kids 13 & 11 and it was a great way to be active in nature while learning history at the same
time!
Taut was a fantastic guide. We were able to see lots of wildlife on our tour. Lucky enough to see dolphins and a manatee!
