Training-Lesson Reviews

Good price, great instruction, booked the night before and got on the water right on time. We took a tandem kayak and did not have a professional guide, but the area was awesome to kayak and the instructors even correctly pointed out where we might see some sea turtles! Great experience. We will be back.

My goal for taking the intro SUP class was to be able to stand up on a SUP. Goal achieved! Of course I eventually fell off so then I was taught how to get back on the board and start all over! I also learned all the basics about weather and water conditions, basic SUP strokes and of course info about the SUP board itself. Great job guys!

My wife and I took a beginning kayaking lesson with Matt. He is an outstanding instructor! Matt was thorough, knowledgeable, calm, compassionate. In addition to the kayaking, he took time to point out numerous aquatic birds and other wildlife. All the staff was courteous and professional.

We went kayaking with nature adventure outfitters. There's a three minute lesson on how to paddle, then a great two hour tour. Elizabeth was very knowledgeable. Equipment great. Dollphins swam next to our canoe in shem creek. Two hours was plenty!!!

This was my second kayak tour with Elizabeth as a guide. She is very pleasant and informative. First trip was on Shem Creek. The second on the Wanda River. The kayaks are comfortable and easy lessons are given to make you comfortable and more productive at rowing. Both trips were equally enjoyable and I look forward to my next time on the water in a kayak.

My husband and I took a Quick Start Kayaking class from Teresa and she was thorough, thoughtful and professional and made our time together fun as well. She gave us the safety tips and paddling skills to help us be confident in the water, as we had just purchased our own kayaks. We can't recommend Teresa and Nature Adventures Outfitters enough for their classes and instruction!

This was my first trip to Charleston to visit a friend. To avoid overcrowded beaches we decided to go kayaking at Shem Creek. We called in the morning to reserve kayaks for the afternoon. We didn't need to do this, there was more than enough kayaks when we arrived, but we just wanted to be safe. We noticed there was sit on top kayaks which we wanted to use on a trailer. We asked the staff if we could use sit on top kayaks and they got them off the trailer for us. After a quick lesson we were off to adventure. Since my friend has rented here multiple times we didn't do a tour. Going down Shem Creek towards Charleston Harbor was amazing. The dolphins would swim up next to you. The only advise I would have to anyone leaving Shem Creek into the Harbor is to hug the shoreline. Some of the people driving boats don't know what they're doing and don't pay attention for people on kayaks. Renting a kayak and going off on an adventure was much better than laying out on a crowded beach. When I am back in Charleston I would definitely do this again.

Booked the two hour tour. From start to finish- courteous informed staff. Highly recommend!

Ben asked me to help him out with the odds and ends of a team building event for a group of MUSC residences and I was happy to oblige. The day started off with close to 40 young adults arriving at Nature Adventures and while the kayaks were being prepared, Ben and I did some preliminary personality games and teamwork warm-ups with the residences. Breaking up into 4 teams we then got on the water for some more competitive activities. Working as a group and understanding personalities was a major focus for the day and everyone had a great time. Highly recommended to any class group or business looking for team building outing. Ben is very professional yet fun and easy to get along with and it is always a pleasure to help out and participate in his events.

Great lesson! My son was the on,y one in the class as it was October so great first experience paddleboarding. The instructor kept him in a two line since he is light and the current can be strong. Dolphin sightings are always a bonus.
