We loved our kayak nature tour! Our guide Zach was so knowledgeable about the island and wildlife and shared a ton of cool information with us! We saw dolphins swimming right next to us and a variety of birds! Zach even gave us some local recommendations since it is our first time visiting Hilton Head. I definitely recommend this tour!
Core memories made in Hilton Head!

We had a great experience on our Friday morning (10am) kayak tour! Our guide, Madison, was very knowledgeable and ensured everyone on the trip could hear and see her. The roundtrip was leisurely and our two novice teenagers really enjoyed the single kayaks. We spotted a manatee swimming alongside our group! The boat staff were friendly and efficient getting us in and out of the water quickly for more time to float. Highly recommend booking this 2 hour tour!

Wonderful experience! Our guide Helen was outstanding, very knowledgeable about the area and ecosystem. We saw dolphins, manatees, crabs, shrimp, oysters, and many birds. Our 14 year old daughter did conplain some about how tired her arms were, but she made it through without having to be towed. Lol. Definitely recommend!
