We had a great time on the water and saw a few dolphins. The weather was perfect and the tour guide was great.

Our group of 5 had a great time on our kayak trip. We had varying levels of kayaking experience, and our guide Joseph was great at making everyone feel comfortable and capable. Right after leaving the marina, we were lucky enough to encounter a couple of dolphins before continuing our trek across the creek towards Pinckney Island. We enjoyed the ease of booking, checkin, grabbing last minute supplies at the store (that had the most adorable shop dog ever!), and then enjoying a leisurely trip seeing the low country in a new way. Definitely recommend Joseph and the tour.

This was my second trip with this kayak company. I enjoyed my first trip out I scheduled a second one. Paddy, our tour guide was a wealth of information. Unfortunately, since it was high tide, we didn’t get to see the oyster beds but he still told us all about how they’re one of the four foundations of the eco system in HHI. The ramp they use for getting kayaks in and out of the water make this the easiest one for getting in and out of the water. I highly recommend.

We had the best time! We had quite the crew—-4 adults and 8 kids. We went out not expecting to see any wildlife, just a way to get our kids out on the water and doing something active. Our tour guide Will (we called him Will Turner) was so fun right off the bat, the kids loved him. He took us through a little marsh area, where we found shells and oysters. We rowed around an abandoned sailboat, which the kids thought was so cool. And best part—we saw dolphins up so close! Swimming right around us. Totally unexpected and SO COOL. We would’ve loved this tour even without the dolphins but it definitely made it a core memory for our family. Thanks for the best time Will! Highly recommend.

Our guide was pleasant but there was basically nothing to see. We went across the bay, did a turn, went to the shore but all we saw was a blue heron. There was an abandoned sailboat which a family of 5 explored but it left us bored and unengaged. Very different from the writeup.

We had a wonderful time kayaking. Our guide, Jospeh, was friendly and very knowledgeable on the area. Our experience was a little magical as a large pod of dolphins were swimming close to our group. Our kids really enjoyed seeing the dolphins.

We were a family of 8 adults. The tour started on time and ended up being just our family. It was leisurely and enjoyable but there wasn’t a lot to see. This tour provides a very laidback experience. Thanks William for a great time.
