My 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.
