Prudence was wonderful, so personable and kind! We saw a lot of dolphins and one even wanted to play with us around our kayak!
Our guide- JD- was great. The dolphins were brilliant. And it was a picture perfect sunset. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Love your great review, and JD is an excellent guide. Folly River is one of the best spots in the world to watch the sunset. Glad you made it!
Wonderful experience. Kayaking up current may be challenging for some, but once you get to the dolphin area, it’s a once-in a-lifetime experience. We had Prudence as the guide, and she was fantastic. I told her that she was the only person mentioned by name on TripAdvisor, so she told me to leave a review saying she was “just ok” so expectations don’t get built up too much. Sorry, Prudence!
Thanks for the great review for the great experience on Folly Beach. Prudence is an excellent guide who knows where to paddle to see the dolphins.
We had a great time exploring the river and our guide Prudence was great!
So glad you could come enjoy your time on the water with us! Hope to see you back on the river again :)
The guide was very thorough, knowledgeable and personable. We had an amazing time on the sunset tour! Dolphins swimming, Pelicans diving for fish! Highly recommend this activity!
Andrew! Sounds like you guys got the ultimate taste of our Folly river. We are so glad y'all came out! Join us again soon :)
This was a great experience. We saw adult dolphins and one newborn. The guide was great and helped everyone get the most out of the trip. I highly recommend this adventure!
Lisa, thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you got to see the gorgeous nature in our back yard. Can't wait to have y'all back!
Our guide Prudence is a gem! We are in good shape, but novices in kayaking. She showed us how to kayak and then a 90 minute session on the water. Highly recommend!
Andrew, we're so glad you guys came out! Prudence is a gem, and we're so happy you walked away feeling capable! Hope to see y'all again soon!
Fun outing on a beautiful night. 2 couples in their 60s had a great time kayaking Folly Creek. We stayed in a condo on the ocean in Folly Beach and Charleston SUP was located within a ~10 minute walk from our condo. After a storm forced our first reservation to be canceled, they were great about finding a new spot for us and we were rescheduled for an evening kayak on a gorgeous night. Saw dolphins and lots of birds, but the best part was being out on the water. Prudence was a great guide.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing kayak experience with us! We are so glad the weather allowed for an amazing time. We hope to see y'all again soon!
We had a beautiful morning kayaking with the dolphins. Amazing experience. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing your review! We are so glad you had an amazing time. Come back soon!!
We booked a sunset kayak tour for 10 people through Tripadvisor. Tripadvisor unfortunately did not communicate our reservation to Charleston SUP Safaris. Tripadvisor sent me multiple emails ahead of our trip so I did not think to make sure the company had received our reservation. However, upon arrival, Charleston SUP Safaris went over and above to find us a river guide and make sure they could make good on our tour. Our river guide was the best and we had an up close encounter with a dolphin - very cool. Thank you Charleston SUP Safaris for turning what could have a been a very disappointing experience into an amazing experience!
Aloha, Thanks for the "Amazing Experience" review on your Sunset Kayak Tour on Folly Beach. Our guides are great at spotting dolphins and sometimes having close encounters. We love what we do and it shows! We're currently working with Viator to get the connection issue corrected so all of our guest will arrive with professionally trained guides ready to start the tour.
