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.

We totally enjoyed the sunset tour. The guide was interesting and the paddling was relaxed. The long kayaks made for an easy and stable ride.

We loved this trip. Steven was an awesome tour guide - he offered so much history, lots of fun facts, pointed out all the wildlife, taught us about the habitat. We had a great time.

Nice paddling. Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable. Had a great time. And the restaurants/ bars in the Shem Creek area are also very nice. Cool area.

Every trip with them is awesome! I have developed a true love of paddling with them. Elizabeth is awesome!

Jay was a great guide. He explained quite a bit about the local wildlife, plants, and geography. The kayaks were solid. And Wambaw Creek was beautiful. Definitely recommend it.

We had a great time on our tour guided by Ethan. Tour was very relaxed. Ethan was competent and informative while allowing for some independence in paddling.

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!

We took the Shem Creek tour and had a wonderful time! Our guide, Bob, was excellent and had a special treat at th end of the tour. The kids loved it!

Nature Adventures was a great choice for kayaking Shem Creek. The water was too cold for the Manatees to be here, but saw a couple of dolphins pop out of the water. Our guide Matt was great, and gave lots of info along the way about history and nature. Fun way to spend the afternoon. I am not young and am not an experienced kayaker and did fine. I was in a single kayak but doubles are avay. Most of the time we were in the creek, but even in the open water of the harbor I didn't have a problem. Matt made sure to keep us safe and together as a group (5 of us). I recommend this tour. If you are an experienced kayaker you may want to skip the tour and just rent a kayak. But I liked the tour and it made me feel more comfortable as a novice.

We took the kayak tour of Wambaw Blackwater Creek in the Francis Marion National Forest with our two kids ages 10 and 13. It was a beautiful paddle up stream for an hour and 1/2 and then an even more relaxing paddle/ float downriver for another hour and 1/2. Our guide Jay was a good combination of interesting facts and guide as well as just letting us paddle and enjoy the scenery. We saw a couple small alligators, an owl and lots of birds. We had previously done a kayak trip with Nature Adventures on Shem Creek 2 years ago and enjoyed that as well. We saw lots of dolphins and birds on that trip. Two very different paddles, each equally enjoying. Good for beginners or experienced paddles.

We recently took a 2 hour guided kayak trip with Elizabeth as our guide. It was extremely entertaining with information about history of the Savannah area, ecology of the salt marsh, and the best of all- birds. We saw a lot of birds for the first time that we don't have in NM.

My wife and I have wanted to kayak the creeks and marsh areas for some time. Our two hour tour in a tandem kayak was great. Our guide (Ben) was fantastic. He had great knowledge of the area, wildlife, and ecosystem as well as being fun and making people of all skill levels feel comfortable in the water. We will definitely go again. As we move into summer I would encourage others to take the early morning trips to battle the heat. We went at 10 am and it was fine. We did have several dolphin sightings not far from us and that was super fun to see up close.

We loved our time on the water kayaking with Nature Adventures! Matt and Hampton were great, so knowledgeable! This trip was equal parts ecology, history and beautiful views. We did the Shem Creek 2 hour kayak and it was the perfect amount of time.

We had an AMAZING time during our guided kayak tour! We were able to kayak with ease and saw lots of great sights including dolphins, herons, marsh wrens and egrets. Matt and Brighid were so friendly and easy going. Matt’s knowledge of the marine life was vast and his appreciation and enthusiasm for the environment he calls home was contagious. He was able to answer all of our questions, and with two teachers along for the ride, there were plenty! Brighid took lots of great photos and shared them all with us, including tips on other places to see during our vacation. Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Great place to get out on the water near Charleston. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate, and pointed out a lot of things I would have missed otherwise. They will also give you directions to different places to check out that were not included on the tour. I ended up going back after lunch and paddled for the rest of the day by myself. Each guide seems to have their own area of expertise, and the tours are different from guide to guide, as well as time of day, as tides seem to play a factor in which "route" the guide takes. I have been three times now, and can't recommend this company highly enough.

We had a group of 9 people go on a paddle of Shem Creek. Most of the people were new to kayaking and they spent as much time as necessary. The tour guide was wonderful and gave us plenty of history along with pointing out various shore birds, etc. Highly recommend this company.

Enjoyable time. Was a nice relaxing tour.

Great sunset trip. Holly was a great guide and very informative on the birds and environment.

Will was a phenomenal guide. We had a great experience...we especially enjoyed the knowledge that he had of the area. I will request him in the future!!

We did the 2 hour sunset sup paddle with Ben. He was personable snd knowledgeable about history, plants and animals of the area. He got us safely across the river and up through the marsh. Also helpful suggestions on where to eat after the paddle. Thoroughly enjoyed our adventure!

We had a great tour with Tori! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Tour was relaxing and enjoyable. Saw dolphins, birds, crabs and even Outer Banks filming!

Awesome tour with very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was really cool to explore the marsh areas while our guide shared local history, stories about the old channel uses, and incredible knowledge of every bird that we saw. Highly recommended activity!

Staff were great! Only drawback was the tour didn't happen because not enough people signed up and tour guide wasn't there. So, book early if you can. Saw lots of dolphin and pelicans near the shrimp boats. It was perfect timing. Location is great! Can walk through Shem Creek and lots of great restaurants/bars along the water where you can also boat/dolphin watch.
