You’ll have the opportunity to see many native species such as atlantic bottlenose dolphins, loggerhead sea turtles, osprey, oysters and a variety of other wildlife.
“We had a great time. Our guide, Cabe, was extremely knowledgeable. He mentioned he sometimes feels like he talks a little too much as he wants to provide a lot of info on the tour and justify “getting paid to kayak all day”. I’d agree. He could have taken a few breaks and just let us enjoy the kayaking and the waterways. But he knew some really interesting facts and is a smart guy… so it was overall a great time. We will be back and we will recommend this to others.” ★★★★★

“My husband and I had the best experience ever with the captain this morning going out by the lighthouse and walking the island. There were many dolphin sightings along our way and we got tons of fascinating information. Such a memorable part of our trip. Highly recommend this trip as we will be coming back soon and bringing more family! This is a crucial part to your South Carolina adventure and will have you wanting to come back.” ★★★★★
