Artomarh - Lessons

Booked a morning, half-day kayak tour on Wambaw creek in the Francis Marion National Forest. We live an hour away and directions to the meet-up point were really easy. We met our guide Ian and he escorted us to the drop-in point about 10 minutes down the road. The road into the national park has some very deep potholes. Nothing to do with the tour company- but the FM national forest who is obligated to upkeep roads with tax payer $$$. This was the only mildly negative thing about the trip. Once at the launch site, kayaks, life jackets and paddles were distributed. A quick safety lesson and we were off. Side note that Ian and crew were extremely accommodating in that we had signed up for a tandem kayak but my 11 yo old son wanted a single. They had one on the trailer and had no problems with providing. Such a peaceful, relaxing day. The pace was slow so we could really look around and just explore. We saw Barred owls, baby Herron, alligators, turtles, wasps nests, leaches, spiders, lots of birds. It was just amazing! Bring water and a dry bag for your camera/cell phone. Use sunscreen and bug spray before you go. You will have the perfect day 😊. Oh and if you're hungry after the tour go to T. W. Graham & co. in McClellanville, SC. It is 3 minutes away from the main hwy and has great seafood and burgers!
