Kayak fun
Did not hear much to make it a Eco tour. Hard to hear with all the boat traffic. Tour guide was very friendly. Didn't see any dolphins.

We loved the kayak tour....
We loved the kayak tour. Our guide Allie taught us about the oyster beds and local waterways. We were treated to a small pod of dolphins feeding all around us. Seeing them at their level and as close as they were made it an experience we won’t forget! All of us have kayaked before so we felt comfortable with the distance and the currents.

Awesome kayaking experience!!
Our tour guide Beth was amazing!! She had great fun facts about wild life and the surrounding area of HHI. We kayaked with a small group having 6 of us and the tour guide. It was really nice and private compared to other over crowded tours :)! This tour is worth your money!

Relaxing kayak trip
We enjoyed our kayak trip. It was short but sweet. We ended up having a private trip since our family was the only one booked, which was amazing. Our guide was the best! Very friendly and knowledgable. The only small adjustment would have been to paddle faster so we could have gone much farther, but overall it was a nice relaxing experience.

Like A Dream
The trip was about 90 min but it went buy so fast! We did get to see a dolphin, a lot of various birds, fish jumping, and oyster shells on banks! The grass growing through the water is so beautiful, it is a somewhat surreal experience, or maybe that's just me!

Amazing!!!
Awesome!! One of our favorite activities during our vacation! The kayaks are ocean kayaks, so very stable and good for all levels, we had people who never kayaked and people who kayaked a lot—it was good for everyone. Our guide, Cindy, was amazing! She was good at teaching everyone how to kayak and she was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun!! We saw lots of different wildlife and the highlight was when the dolphins swam over to visit us! The 90 minutes went fast, I would have stayed for another 90! It was great! 10 out of 10!

Kayaking Excursion was Excellent Experience! Highly recommended to everyone who truly loves the ocean and Hilton !!Head!
Exceptionally fun and relaxing! Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to have an enjoyable time on the water. Highly recommended!
