Charleston Small-Group Kayaking Eco-Tour
Kayaking in the tidal marshes around Charleston is a must-do for wildlife lovers, but without a guide by your side, you’re likely to miss a lot.

While you never know just what you’ll see, creatures that live in these waters include Loggerhead turtles, bottlenose dolphins, and more.

While paddling through the estuarine waters behind Folly Beach, your local guide will introduce you to the area's wide variety of wildlife.
