Reviews
"Claire was so helpful and friendly! The equipment was in great condition and I loved paddling around the river and seeing all the lovely beach houses. Highly recommend!"
"Highly recommend. The instructions by Captain Henry on how to paddle were great. Nice to know the right way to paddle as it came in real handy when navigating the wind and rain we fully expected arrived We were each fitted to our kayaks and instructed on their use. First time using a kayak with foot pedals and rudder. All the equipment was great and was easy to use. We were given a map and downloaded the AllTrails map along with a drybag . Navigation through the marsh was easy due to good markers. We had a great time along with a great workout. Weather conditions and tides are a big factor. Check both for the best experience."
"Mike and Erik were great! Erik shared a lot of knowledge while Mike was able to safely and efficiently navigate us. We watched several pods of dolphins for quite a while, and I loved every minute of it! I would definitely recommend that you partake on this tour during your visit to Beaufort area, whether it be for the history or just to watch the dolphins, you'll have a guaranteed great experience!"
"We did the Hunting Island Dolphin Tour and it was simply amazing! This isn’t your average dolphin experience - Annie, our incredible guide, was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the ecosystem. We learned about dolphins and dolphin behavior as well as the marsh and how even the smallest microorganisms impact the environment. We were able to see several pods of dolphins right beside the boat. Even though it was a full boat of 28 people, everyone was able to have good views of the dolphins. We even saw a baby dolphin with her Momma! We all left on cloud 9 from the experience and can’t wait to rebook on our next trip to Fripp Island! Thanks again for the amazing experience and memories we will all cherish."
"A group of friends celebrated my wife’s birthday on a pleasurable tour that left from Russ Point on St Helena this morning.We enjoyed many dolphin encounters as well as meeting a resident bald Eagle and other feathered friends. Claire and John were wonderful guides on our trip today. They really know the area and it’s wildlife. Highly recommend for all ages."
