Kayak Tour Reviews

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 crew, handlers, office staff, etc. Steve was our guide for a group of 10 and he was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We tipped them for their hard work and great attitude. Thanks for a nice day.

Our family of four had a wonderful time on the two hour tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable - our 7 and 9 year olds really enjoyed it - especially when the dolphins came right by our kayaks.

Went out with Ben and had a fantastic time with the Family. We were able to see some Dolphins, the beautiful nature of the area along with some local history. All and all it was a absolutely amazing time with the family that I would recommend to anyone!!!

We love to kayak, and were excited to find Nature Adventures. We opted for a self guided kayak trip and lucked into a group of dolphins! We were able to follow them for about a mile. It was by far one of the coolest experiences ever. Aside from seeing dolphins, the scenery is beautiful along the marsh! We will definitely do this again!

Did the 2 hour tour with Charlie. He was great and so knowledgeable when it came to Charleston history, birds and other wildlife! Saw three dolphins, a bunch of turtles, and soooo many types of birds. Such a great trip.

My husband & I booked the 3 hour kayak tour and were not disappointed. When we arrived & checked-in we found out that we were the only ones that had a booked this tour & Nature Adventures did not hesitate to take us on our own personal adventure. Our guide Matt was so knowledgeable about the area, marine & bird life & environment. Matt's tour was so informative and he did his best to answer all of our questions. We started out in the harbor and much to our delight there were 2 dolphins feeding in the shallows & the dolphins allowed us to watch up close. After venturing out into the harbor we then took on the creeks. This tour is not an adventure tour where you are paddling hard but more of an eco-tour where you paddle slowly to see wildlife & learn about the importance of the marshes & creeks. Matt is one of the best guides we have ever had and we would not hesitate to use Nature Adventures in the future!!!

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.

Giro in kayaks in 4, io, mia moglie e due ragazzini. Avevamo una guida solo per noi. 4 ore (invece delle 3 previste) ad un prezzo assolutamente ragionevole. Immersione nella natura, silenzio, luci, colori ed alligatori (oltre a ragni giganti, mantidi, serpenti e, soprattutto, vespe giganti). Davvero memorabile esperienza, la raccomandiamo a chiunque (ma non sotto i 10 anni).

Our guide Ryan was knowledgable about boats and the flora and fauna in the area. He also had good histories of the area. Very fun.

We had a great time on the tour with Ethan. He was full of information and it was a lot of fun. We didn't see any dolphins, but it was a beautiful day. This was my first time kayaking and would do it again. The crew was very helpful and it was much easier than I expected.

My wife and I did a two hour kayaking trip and it was definitely a highlight for my vacation in Charleston. We had a great group and guide Jim who was extremely knowledgeable with the history and animal life. We were fortunate to see a number of dolphins and manatees and birds and a sea turtle all up close. Very relaxing and fun for groups or couples. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

We decided to do the two hour kayaking tour experience to explore the area. Our guide took us out into the harbor and down one little muddy "river". We spent most of the time floating instead of paddling. I guess we expected more due to the pictures featured on the website. We wont use them again.

We had a great trip on the water for a 2 hour guided tour. Matt was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw lots of wildlife, including dolphins swimming around kayaks! The equipment was clean and in good condition. The entire staff was friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend for couples or families. Kids would love this activity!

I don't normally post on tripadvisor, but I was on the same 3 hour trip as the previous reviewer and wanted to address a few points... 1. The trip is advertised as a 3 hour trip - you booked and paid for a 3 hour trip - why would you then come online and complain that it was too long for your children. 3 hours for the cost is excellent value and frankly any less would have been less enjoyable. plus - having to listen to your child moan constantly from the second he got in the kayak was pretty much infuriating. 2. "No wildlife" - sorry but did you actually look around you, we saw tons of birds, alligators, nests and the trees and facts about them were well explained by our guide. 3. The guide - my friend and I both spoke after the trip about how he provided good factual informative info about the flora and fauna & history of the area without being intrusive and letting us enjoy the scenery for ourselves... He pointed out lots of birds & their nests & the alligators and was happy to answer all questions. Maybe on said trip he was quiet because we had to constantly listen to "why do we have to be in a swamp for 4 hours" - I'm sure it was more than mildly insulting to him. For anyone who wants a kayak trip through beautiful, quiet scenery with a guide who knows his stuff this is the trip for you. It is exactly as advertised on the webside and HIGHLY recommended. And to the people who came on here & bashed the tour & guide with mostly lies - if you didnt like it, that was your own fault not anything to do with NAO who provided my friend & I with an excellent, thoroughly enjoyable trip on the same day as you. Anyway great trip, great value, thanks!

My wife and I had a great experience kayaking with Clayton as our guide at Nature Adventures. Clayton planned the best route for our group, and he has plenty of expertise on the area and its ecology! The “variety” of waterways we toured was excellent. Great way to get out, get some exercise, and see the waterways around Charleston. Nice selection of restaurants nearby also.

Excellent choice! Keegan was our tour specialist & he explained the ins & outs to perfection. The whole staff went way above to insure our safety & enjoyment.

I really loved our tour of the blackwater swamp outside of Charleston. If you are driving from Wilmington, it's the perfect thing to do on the way out of the city while driving back north. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, and made the trip both fun and informative. She told us all about the ecosystem, history of the area, and pointed out many animals I never would have noticed otherwise. We also got to see a gator, which was awesome! I've only been kayaking a few times, but her instructions made the trip easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend doing a tour through this company.

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.

Great kayak trip! Beautiful sunset! Awesome guide! This was a great way to enjoy the Charleston outdoors.

We did a three hour guided tour on the Wambaw Creek. There are plenty of alligators swimming in the creek and sunning on logs - they aren't a danger to kayakers though! Lots of really neat birds and wildlife. The guide was awesome and low key - but let us know plenty about the local environment and the history of the area.

Thanks Matt for a great kayak tour....Very knowledgeable & friendly! The weather could not have been better! The Nautilus Home Management team had a blast!

Was a great first-time kayaking experience. The entire staff was friendly and tour guide Steve was excellent.

My tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had as a beginner. Nature Adventures is highly recommended for those interested in an affordable and enjoyable kayak tour in the Charleston area. From the equipment in use, to the guides and administrators, I have no complaints.
