Kayak Tour Reviews

Had a great time kayaking! Charlie was informative and entertaining as well. Highly recommend. Some of us had never kayaked and it was easy.

Perfect Weather, Great Equipment, Knowledgeable & PERSONABLE GUIDE! If you’ve ever rented a canoe, kayak or other water vessel, the life jacket is part of the gig. THANKFULLY, these life jackets didn’t have the customary raunchy odor as has been my experience in the past when renting other places. Two hours went by so quickly. Charlie, our guide was GREAT at answering me rifling questions at him! I highly recommend this business.

Great experience and you’ve got a repeat customer for life. Love the personalization of tour based on your group needs. Very accommodating and entertaining for our young kayakers. We scheduled a sunset kayak trip for our second visit to Charleston and it was amazing!!

This was an amazing tour and our guide Cindy was the best! I would definitely recommend this tour; the scenery is beautiful

Went on a two hour kayaking tour of Shem Creek, led by Dan. He kept up an informal, interesting narrative as the small group I was part of paddled along. He pointed out the live oaks, birdlife, and the marshes. Before we set out, he gave a quick demo on paddling techniques. He kept an eye on everyone and pointed out where we should be in order to stay out of way of the boats

This was a great experience! Ethan was our guide and he did a great job sharing facts about the area and the marine life. My husband and I left learning a lot. The kayaking trip is beautiful and gives you a good viewpoint of Shem Creek. You're likely to see dolphins too!

Re: Wambaw Creek Trip. This is a peaceful beautiful paddle. Our guide, Jay, pointed out trees birds and of course gators. We were taught information about the eco system. On our trip we saw a Barred Owl , a Swallow Tailed Kite, Carolina wren, gators and more. Jay pointed out Cypress trees that are hundreds of years old. Great trip!

Nature Adventures gave us and our customers an awesome tour of Shim Creek! Our customers raved about the trip for the next couple days. I highly recommend this outfit.

these guys are awesome, very informative but laid back as well, gives recommendations on best practices i dunno i def recommend them!

Had a great outing! Charlie our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately the dolphins didn't make an appearance, but we saw pelicans and many other types of birds.

I was unsure about going out because the weather was on the cool side and it was a little windy. Ben was my guide, and he took me to sheltered spots out of the wind. It turned out to be a fabulous, gorgeous morning. Ben is so knowledgeable about the area and ecosystem we were paddling through. We saw small fish, a dolphin, egrets, herons, and pelicans. Outstanding experience that I would repeat anytime!

Shem Creek is a really cool place to visit. We had a great time on our kayak tour. Matt was very knowledgeable about the waterways and Charleston. It was neat to see the shrimp boats & pelicans as well.

So fun and informative. My tour guide Joshua was fantastic!

Recently went paddle boarding with Wando Adventure Club and enjoyed it so much. Would definitely go again, hopefully soon!

Our tour guide Nolan, was very knowledgeable. Took time and let us enjoy everything there was to offer during our time. We did get to see wild dolphins feeding on fish. He told us all about what was around us and explained each bird down to a tee, which was what he was a ornithologist. We had a very relaxing time. This was our first time Kayaking. We choose early morning which I highly recommend. Thanks Nolan!!

My husband and I did the guided tour at sunset of Shem Creek. Jay, our guide, was full of fun facts and knowledge of the local wildlife, plus he was interesting to talk to! The tour was 2 hours long, in my opinion the perfect length to explore the area. We saw a large group of dolphins swim right by our tour and so many different types of birds. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore in the Charleston area! Great value for the money.

I took the swamp tour of the Wambaw creek up near McClellandville. The tour was really really cool. I would highly recommend it to anyone - period. We went mid-March which isn't the best time to go, but we had no choice. None-the-less we saw several alligators, turtles, an owl, a waterbird. Don't worry... it's TOTALLY safe. Our guide Teresa was extremely knowledgeable of the environment. She provided a great understanding into the ecosystem of the swamp from the water, to the animals and everything in between. The great thing is you don't have to be a kayak expert or anything to enjoy this trip. She provided directions on paddling and maneuvering. The creek is pretty slow moving so getting out there and enjoying it is soooOOOoooo easy. About the only (and very small) thing was the raving on about saving the environment and creatures, which is very good thing, but of course a symptom of a bigger problem. Saving creatures won't stop a husband from cheating on his wife, or a teenager from messing up their life with drugs. It is about 40 minutes North of Charleston, a little closer from the Mt. Pleasant area. The road from the highway into the forest is a little tough, in fact, it's the toughest part of the trip. It's a hardened dirt road with potholes so drive slowly and you'll be fine. Again, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves adventure and wants to see some amazing scenery without a lot of effort.

Great experience! Guides very knowledgeable and engaging, very personable. Will definitely use again!

We decided to go kayaking on a guided tour. We had a a very small group of two couples and the guide. I would recommend going on a rainy day because you aren’t sweating while kayaking. We were able to go through some estuaries and the guide gave us some very interesting details.

My group of 3 had an amazing time kayaking up Shem Creek with Dan, our guide. His knowledge of the biology of the area combined with his genuine passion for it made it a spectacular day out. As novice kayakers, the pace was nice and slow and the 2 hour tour flew by. I would highly recommend this place, and perhaps you'll see Michael, the resident dolphin in Shem Creek!

Had a group of 10 who were all interested in doing a morning kayak on a Saturday. I was a little late at the planning of this so the online tours were already full. I called the office and they were extremely accommodating by creating an earlier kayak outing just for our group! We met up with Matt who took us out on Shem Creek. He was highly informative about the marsh, marine life and birds. We learned about how the tide being high or low can affect so many things including hurricanes. This was the perfect way to start our Saturday! Thanks Matt for a wonderful and informative tour on the Creek.

Excellent experience. Ethan was very knowledgeable and did an awesome job

We had an awesome time with our guide (Tillman) and look forward to our next trip out on Shem Creek. Unfortunately, we had to cut our tour short to 2 hours instead of 3 because people in our group couldn't take the heat - but in the fall, we hope to come back out for the longer trip. Well run company- worth every penny.

I talked my Sister and Niece - both whom have never kayaked - into doing the 2 hour Shem Creek and Crab Bank Island tour. We had visited the Saltwater Cowboys bar the day before so they could watch other kayakers going out and get feel for what was going to happen. As it ended up - we all had an amazing time - the guide was excellent and put any fears to rest that my Sister and niece may have had. We saw dolphins - my niece saw a turtle and we got some white water waves from one of the passing cargo ships that may have been coming in a little to fast. It was great fun - I'd do it or one of the other tours they offer again when I make it back to SC.
