Kayak Tour Reviews

I have taken a number of different kayak trips with them and consistently have a great time. I have done both marsh and blackwater tours. Guides are always friendly and well informed, giving all sorts of into and tips on the area and sights.

We were disappointed by our kayak tour on Shem creek. We initially were excited about taking a swamp tour with Nature Adventures, but were misadvised about how far the destination was by their representative (we're from California and this was our first visit to South Carolina) and would have been too late for the black water tour. So, instead, we were offered a tour of Shem Creek. We had hoped to experience an eco tour and see some wildlife, but there were almost no birds, no other wildlife, and definitely no wilderness at Shem creek. The "wildlife" we saw was all human. We kayaked amid bar noises, rock and roll music from restaurants, freeway noises, and other city noises. We did see some mildly interesting Charleston architecture because we kayaked near many houses, but this was definitely NOT what we had in mind. Our guide, while extremely affable and enthusiastic about Charleston, did not share any knowledge of local nature. If you enjoy urban kayaking, you may enjoy this trip, but we were disappointed.

We had a wonderful time on our tour yesterday. Our guide, Ben, was very informative and just an all round fun and funny guy. We saw an egret, a manatee and a two dolphins. Great experience, I’ll definitely be back!

It was a beautiful day. Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and helpful on this trip. I highly recommend booking with her.

Did the three hour kayak tour with Ed. Paddled up the Shem Creek seeing different birds and wildlife. Ed is very knowledgable about the area and the wildlife in the area. Drifted back downstream to the mouth of the harbor. Had three dolphins surface right near our kayaks! Company is a convenient location to Charleston, Mount Pleasant area. Would definitely recommend them and will plan to use them again.

Yesterday, we went out on a small women's group kayak adventure to Crab Island to search for sharks teeth. Elizabeth and Ben were great from beginning to end! Some in our group had never kayaked before and our instructions were detailed and put everyone at ease. Beautiful weather, great company, lots of laughter and two knowledgable pros!! I'm looking forward to our next trip.

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.

Nicole was terrific and the tour was actually very informative if you are into nature. There is one suggestion that I would make is that maybe put some bars on the sides of the pilings when you launch your kayak to give the kayakers a sense of stability as the leave the launch. I was a little embarrassed when I left the boat launch because I almost tipped. LOL ! The only reason I'm giving this a 4 and not a 5 is so that it is seen by the company.

We took a 3-hour guided tour of Wambaw Creek with guide Bryson, and had a great time experiencing the unique ecosystem of the blackwater swamp. It was just our family (2 adults & 2 kids aged 9 & 11) in two tandem kayaks, and our guide, so we were able to have a personal tour at our own pace. Except for one moment at put-in, we did not see anyone else while we were out there. Learned a lot from Bryson, and enjoyed the peace of the river.

We went with Ed as a guide kayaking on Shem Creek and would recommend this to everyone!! Ed was knowledgable about the sea life and the history of the region. He took us at a good pace around the creek and to the pelican island--we saw loads of birds, fish and dolphins.

We had a wonderful time kayaking for the first time in the ocean! Our guide was kind and knowledgeable about the nature in the area! Would recommend highly!

We took a 3 hour swamp tour with John, in the Wambaw Swamp. John was an old hand at kayaking, but still has a passion for it. He was great in giving us beginners pointers and basics. On our lesiurely kayak tour we saw many different types of birds and even some alligators. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us.

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

We thoroughly enjoyed our two plus hour guided tour of Shem Creek and the outlying area. Well worth the money! How good was very knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife, and he had a pretty good sense of humor too.

Guides are knowledgeable and group kept safe.

I’ve been wanting to do this ever since moving here and wow I’m so happy I did!! We loved our tour with Matt, he knew so much about the history of the area and even some new history (for those who have watched Outer Banks). We would love to go again and would highly recommend Matt😇

Josh was a great guide full of history and bird information. He was very attentive to our rowing abilities and short comings! Thank you Josh!

First time kayaking with the whole family. Our guide did a super job getting us ready. The kids had a blast and we saw and learned so much while just enjoying ourselves.

The tour guide we had was wonderful- had so many stories to share about the history of Charleston and the nature around. Would highly recommend!

Had a great time today with our group. Matt and Jay were great guides. Very knowledgeable. Very helpful and very informative.

We were lucky to have Sam as our guide! One of the best experiences of my life, never kayaked before being from Colorado.

Great time and great guide. Highly recommend!

It was a very fun and memorable experience! The guides are very knowledgeable and informative. It was worth the view and adventure. Would definitely recommend this activity to a must Things-to-do in Charleston!

Our guide, Teresa, was awesome. She was able to keep 5 teens / pre-teens engaged in the adventure for the full 3 hours. A couple of the boys had not kayaked before and she was able to get them up to speed quickly. We were able to see a number of alligators, barred owls, crab, a water snake, and overall enjoy nature. Definitely a day they will remember.
