Very cool trip! - We had an amazing trip with our guide, Wayne. He was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area as well as the history. He helped us into and out of our kayaks, and gave us some tips on paddling. He also got some great pictures of our trip, which he was so kind to share with us. We went in the evening when we had a nice breeze to cool us off, and saw lots of wildlife. I would definitely recommend this. You are paddling around the marshy inlet area, not in open ocean so you are not fighting strong currents. I have some kayaking experience but not an expert, and I felt perfectly comfortable.

- The family had a great time. It was out first time kayaking and Michael had us comfortable with in minutes. We went out at low tide so we saw alot of birds, even some that were not so common to see. We loved learning about the area and eco system.

Great Excursion - Our family of four had such a fun time on this tour! Our guide, Zach, was really friendly and so knowledgeable about the area. We learned a great deal about the ecology of Hilton Head while paddling through Broad Creek. It was a great way to experience Hilton Head up close and see things we might not have normally seen. We even saw the dolphins feeding at the end of the trip! Would definitely recommend!
