My 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.

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.

It was a great experience. I wish the guide had talked to us prior to getting out on the water about what we may see and experience, because once on the water it was hard to hear what he was saying. Otherwise, he was very knowledgeable, and answered questions without any problems
Memorable kayak trip
