Fun Family trip! - We had a great time with our adult children on our Salt Marsh Maze trip. Our guides were friendly, informative and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this as a fun family adventure when you are in Myrtle Beach to get away from the commercial activities.

SO MUCH FUN!!!!! - WOW! What an amazing experience. If you have an ounce of hesitation... don't. This tour is way underpriced if you ask me - worth every penny and more: great tour, great guides, and amazing scenery. I am not a swimmer to start. I am pushing 50 and have just started swimming lessons. This kayak tour was my first experience on bigger waters, and when this was communicated to the guys, I was told not to worry (lifejacket) but that I was in good hands all around. And I sure was! I have never kayaked a day in my life, but the instruction and patience while we were taught the essentials were top notch. I really feel like I could do this again and really want to. I had a blast. Saw some amazing wildlife, the tour gents were very informative and friendly and everyone in our group (including the little kids who were on the tour) had a memorable time. Tips: arrive early so you can pay for your parking and get acquainted. Make sure you apply sunblock and wear some good water shoes. This was a real workout too so if you want, you can skip your morning beach jog and consider the two hours in the marsh your daily grind. Hats off to this team. I will be back and am bringing others with me.

Nice outing - Excellent outing with a great tour guide and nice equipment. Accidentally booked it for a time we couldn’t make and they very quickly and easily changed it to a different time for us. Highly recommend!

Great times with family in North Myrtle Beach - Our guide was one of the owners and he was fabulous! We have Kayaked before and that was a plus. We used this company 10 years ago with no kayaking experience and fell in love with it.

Amazing Impromptu Kayak Trip - We got lucky! After an unpredictable weather beach week we made the choice Friday morning to try to get a kayak trip in. We called and they made it happen within hours. This was a slow week so it was just our family on the water with our guide. He’s like a surfer scientist… he knew so many cool facts about the animals and had us kayaking like we were pros. We also loved the walk on the uninhabited island. So glad we made this choice. A beautiful time on the water.
