What a way to experience the fireworks!

Spent a spectacular evening kayaking on Broad Creek with our guide Kelly W. She made the experience both fun and educational. After kayaking in the lovely breeze and watching the sunset, we experienced an amazing fireworks show that occurred immediately overhead. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. Well worth the cost.

Thanks Pat!!!!

We booked this very last minute and it was a great time! We had a little private tour since it was just us 3 and Pat. Pat was the best tour guide! He gave us lots of kayaking tips I had never known before. Lots of information about the wildlife and history of the area as well. Beautiful adventure. Would do again if we’re back in Hilton Head!

Great kayak tour

Loved our kayak tour with Michael. He was knowledgeable in the various bird species, plants, and aquatic life that we experienced on our 2 hour adventure.

Kayaking Adventures with John M

We had an amazing experience. Great meeting/ launching point, good equipment and our guide, John M, was exceptional. John was very knowledgeable about the local area and ecology, a good instructor, safe, very friendly and very patient. The trip length was perfect too. I’d highly recommend to others visiting the area. Mike B
