5.00I was lucky enough to take a 2 hour Kayak Nature Tour and have Wayne, my guide, all to myself. It was a beautiful day, but in the off season not as busy. He was so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and good stories about Hilton Head. I would encourage anyone visiting now to get out on the water. The temperature is perfect. Enjoy.
Wonderful kayaking...

5.00We had a great relaxing nature tour with Michael, he was very informative about the area and the wildlife. We even saw a couple dolphins! He did a brief overview of how to kayak for any newbies in our group. We will absolutely return for another one of their tours the next time we’re in town.

5.00My two hour guided kayak nature tour on Broad Creek on November 5th 2025 was awesome. Casey is an excellent guide and as a native of the area his knowledge having grown up on these waters was excellent. He was able to share many insights on the wildlife and history of the area. This is a great experience that I highly recommend.

5.00My boyfriend and I did the 2-Hour Hilton Head Guided Kayak Nature Tour and it was an absolute vibe. From the quick, clear safety rundown to the smooth launch, the guides kept it easy, fun, and super chill. The marsh was gorgeous and there were plenty of wildlife moments. Pace was relaxed with just enough paddling to feel accomplished but not exhausted. Our guide Wayne was entertaining and he sprinkled in cool facts about the ecosystem, we took plenty of photos to remember the moments. Gear was clean, check-in was painless, and we finished right on time with zero stress.
Very relaxing paddle and...
