Kayak Tour Reviews

Spent a week in Charleston and every time it rained it was at night and wouldn't you know it, 5 minutes after we get there it rains. Jim did try to get us out twice but it just wouldn't stop raining and lightning. He wanted to reschedule but we had to leave but the kids still had fun. Definitely will stop there in the future when we visit Charleston again.

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!

Great time on the water with an excellent guide! Very informative and enjoyable. 10/10 recommend!

My husband and I recently took the saltwater two-hour tour with NAO. Our guide was great! Having a dolphin swim right next to my kayak was an awesome experience!

Took the family on a kayak tour ours of Shem Creek near Charleston, SC. We has a great time kayaking alongside dolphins and cranes and other birds. Our guide was great (Haven). Definitely a fun activity.

Nature Adventures gave us and our customers an awesome tour of Shim Creek! Our customers raved about the trip for the next couple days. I highly recommend this outfit.

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.

We had a really great time on Wamba Creek - the tour was relaxing and beautiful. It was also highly educational as our guide was a marine biologist. Highly recommended!

Best way to start July 4th. Laid back kayaking of Shem Creek with Dan, a marine biologist who has been on the area nearly a decade. Insiders tour of the ecology and stories of some of the local residents/boats. Dan is super knowledgeable and fantastic. Thanks, Nature Adventures for a Covid-free morning!

We went on an amazing kayak adventure, complete with tons of dolphin sightings! Our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and great with the kids! One of our favorite things we did on our vacation! Highly recommend!

Great views and knowledgable tour guide. Despite the shrimp boats not running right now, the dolphins were still out in the creek to visit us. We got to see a lot of birds native to the area and our tour guide was very knowledgable about the history of Charleston and the wildlife. He shared some interesting stories and we were able to kayak in the creek, the channel, and another waterway all in the two hour time. They prepare you well. The only note I would have for travelers is be mindful if you are hard of hearing. When the guide speaks to other members of the group or is facing away from you, you may lose a lot of what they say because of the open water.

Just came back from a terrific 2 hour guided kayak tour with Eric. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Shem Creek and the environment. I'm not a birder myself, but totally appreciated his ability to point out so many different birds, which made this tour so great and interesting! The last time I kayaked was probably 12 years ago, but Eric made sure I was comfortable and I had no problem. I would absolutely recommend signing up with Eric and would go back again! A great time!!!

Had a great paddle with Ethan as our guide. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. It was like having our own personal marine biologist. Because he is one!! He definitely went above and beyond and we had a very enjoyable paddle through the back water channels.

Learned lots from Craig. Great guide. I had my 14 year old niece, first time kayaking for her. We had dolphins right beside us. Lots of birds. Loved the brown pelican rookery. We beached combed and streatched our legs about half way throw trip. Bring a soft sided cooler, it's easier to store in kayak. Sunscreen and hat, sunglasses a must!

My girlfriend and I did the 6pm kayaking tour on a Sunday. Found out it was only us so we got a private tour. I guide was awesome and chill! Very outgoing and friendly. I think his name was Hana. We started off by seeing dolphins as soon as we got in. They swam around and under us which was neat. We pretty much got to go anywhere we wanted in our time frame since it was just us. We went out and around the bird island and saw the city skyline and the bridge. Tons of birds to see as well. We also went down a side creek. Overall it was really nice and would recommend doing it!

We took the 2 hour kayaking tour on Shem Creek and had a great time. Our guide was Cindy and she was really friendly and knowledgeable about the birds and real estate. It was a nice relaxing ride just listening to her and paddling along. We did see one dolphin, I was hoping to see more, but that wasn’t her fault! We went down Shem Creek and out to a little island where we got out and picked up some shells. She was good about helping us out so we didn’t have to get too wet! Then we went along and looked at the houses and kayaked under their piers. She pointed out lots of interesting things along the way.

We enjoyed a fantastic guided tour with kids and adults new to the experience. We discovered new ways to bond as a family during the difficult COVID times by getting outdoors and enjoying nature! We can’t wait to come back!

Saw a lot of cool wildlife and our guide was knowledgeable and fun!! Would recommend to people of all ages:)

Excellent tour, highly recommend! My husband and I took out a tandem kayak. We were the only 2 on the tour and loved getting to see parts of the beautiful harbor and backwater marsh! Even had chance to see a larger pod of dolphins with an adorable baby dolphin :)

Absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide Ben had lots of information about the waterways in Shem Creek and Charleston as well as the animals and nature. He was patient and helpful when we were just learning how to use the kayak. Overall a great experience, I would definitely do it next time I’m in Charleston.

Did a tour with family (two tandem kayaks). Great experience and very knowledgeable your guide!

We had a late afternoon trip with a guide named Ethan who was really patient and knowledgeable and really enhanced the trip for us with information about the marsh and all the wildlife, this was clearly a good time to visit because it was very peaceful. We all really enjoyed this experience

Matt was a great and informative tour guide.

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.
