Kayak Tour Reviews

We had a wonderful experience on our 2 hour guided kayak tour. It definitely was exhausting toward the end but so worth it. We saw a dolphin in the creek!! So crazy. The scenery was beautiful. Our tour guide Ethan was great! I definitely recommend!

Did the sunset kayak tour. Very scenic and fun. Nice way to spend the evening with family then grab some food right there at many great spots to eat

Our guide Matt provided a fantastic tour with his scientific & historical perspectives. He provided precautious instruction with the tide & weather issues. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kayaking for two hours was fun, and I learned a lot!

I had an amazing time on the 2-hour kayak tour with Shem Creek Nature Adventures. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the kayaks were in great condition. Paddling through Shem Creek was a delight, with stunning views and wildlife sightings, including dolphins. Our guide Ethan provided fascinating insights about the local ecosystem. Highly recommend this tour for a fun and educational outdoor experience! Will definitely be back!

Great tour for kayakers of all levels. Alex was a great tour guide. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic day trip. Went on the 2 hour Schem Creek tour and had an amazing time. The guide was very knowledge and engaging. I would recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors, and wants to see local wildlife.

Very convenient location and right next door to the Shem Creel Inn where we stayed. We are experienced kayakers and chose the two hour Shem Creek tour hoping a guide would be able to get us near wildlife (OK... Dolphins specifically.) While we did not see any dolphins, we enjoyed every minute of our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care of our group. I only gave four stars for the guide pointed out that a shrimp boat was returning and that dolphins should follow it in. He didn't show any urgency in having us paddle in though and actually stopped us. I have to assume there was a reason for that but did deduct a star.

Very good. Check-in straightforward and friendly - nice that they checked we'd parked in a free spot. Our guide took us well out which was fun. Always felt safe, as did my teenage children. Educational - he knew a lot about the local environment.

Great for kayaks and paddle boards. Did a kayak guided tour and had such a great time to paddle board. I’ve been to Charleston several times over the last 10 years and always return to this location and this company.

Matt was a great guide for our guided tour. This is a great option for paddlers wanting to see a bit of the When Creek area. Easy water access and no fuss putting in and taking out. Highly recommend this business!

My wife and I took the moonlight tour and it was amazing. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and humorous. Definitely recommend this activity to couples and teens.

Awesome experience. The guides were spot on with their timings for tide changes and it made for an easy paddle out and back. Tons of places to explore, lots of wildlife, and got to see the dolphins swimming right next to us. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful experience with Ben and saw amazing sites both on the Shem and Penny Creek. Highly recommend a must do!

Nice opportunity to get out on the water while visiting Charleston. Charlie was a great guide and shared some local knowledge. Scenery is okay…shrimp boats along creek, variety of birds, shrimp jumping into kayak. Dolphins and Manatees are always a chance but no luck on my outing.

Chose the 2:00 afternoon tour on Wambaw Creek.....excellent choice. John was a fantastic tour guide, pointing out many sites, creatures and nature while meandering on the black water creek. We were mesmerized by the reflections of the 1500 year old Cypress trees. We saw alligators, birds, vegetation, and yellow slick belly turtles while floating in the serene quietness of nature. We highly recommend this tour and would do it agin.

We had a great time. Tori was an amazing guide. Thank you.

We went kayaking with them this morning. Our guide Elizabeth was very personable and shared a lot of good knowledge about the creeks history. We were in a group of 7 which made me feel a lot more comfortable since I've never been kayaking. Overall we had a great time!

Although it starts off in a busy place among restaurants and boats, it was very peaceful once we got into Shem Creek Park and paddled along the grasses and a few very nice houses. For a very hot summer day, our choice of the 6:30 pm guided tour worked out well. The closer to sunset the nicer it became. In the busy Shem Creek area along Shrimp Boat Lane we did see a few dolphins. Our guide was very nice and went out of her way to help those who had any trouble maneuvering their kayaks.

Had a wonderful time kayaking in Charleston with my family. Our Nature Adventures guide was very familiar with the area and knew exactly how to get us views of the local wildlife. Seeing dolphins up close was definitely the highlight of the trip.

We had the best time! It was my first time in a kayak, but Clark made it so easy. He was an excellent guide. We saw several dolphins and hundreds of pelicans. Clark made it all very interesting and I can't wait to do it again.

Even though it rained beforehand, it was worth the wait. And rain made the dolphins more active. Bryson was an awesome guide. It was a first for a friend an me and so much fun! Will definitely return!

We took a kayak trip with a guide which was just what the doctor ordered. He was very informative and environment conscious & gave us our money's worth. Would definitely do it again.

Kathie was the BEST tour guide. It was even better that only 4 of us (another mother/daughter on their vacation just like us). We saw a Mom and baby dolphin towards the end of the tour and we had a leisure and pleasant/informative tour. I would do it again and I n usually don't repeat anything I do including vacationing in the same place twice.
