What a way to experience the fireworks!

Spent a spectacular evening kayaking on Broad Creek with our guide Kelly W. She made the experience both fun and educational. After kayaking in the lovely breeze and watching the sunset, we experienced an amazing fireworks show that occurred immediately overhead. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. Well worth the cost.

Thanks Pat!!!!

We booked this very last minute and it was a great time! We had a little private tour since it was just us 3 and Pat. Pat was the best tour guide! He gave us lots of kayaking tips I had never known before. Lots of information about the wildlife and history of the area as well. Beautiful adventure. Would do again if we’re back in Hilton Head!

Great kayak tour

Loved our kayak tour with Michael. He was knowledgeable in the various bird species, plants, and aquatic life that we experienced on our 2 hour adventure.

Kayaking Adventures with John M

We had an amazing experience. Great meeting/ launching point, good equipment and our guide, John M, was exceptional. John was very knowledgeable about the local area and ecology, a good instructor, safe, very friendly and very patient. The trip length was perfect too. I’d highly recommend to others visiting the area. Mike B

Fun and adventurous!

It was a fun birthday activity but the winds made the water a little choppy. It was fine in the calm still water areas but when it started getting too choppy we had to turn around and go back the way we came, which was very taxing on the body lol BUT it was fun and we made it back safely. And we saw TWO dolphins.

Go during low tide,...

Go during low tide, that’s when the dolphins are out. We only saw one during the high tide. The tour guide was definitely new and in training and did fine, they just need more experience.

Excellent Tour!

We had an amazing experience with Outside for a family kayaking tour during our Hilton Head vacation. I can't say enough about our main guide, Hodge. He has such a fantastic personality and not only made the trip so much fun, but was also so clear with instructions, safety info, and interesting facts throughout the tour, and was so supportive and engaging with the kids in our group. You should go just to meet and hang out with this guy. Trent was another guide assisting us and he was also great, easy to talk to, adding to the tour info, and pulling up the rear to keep us all in line. The tour was a good length (2 hrs) and had the perfect balance of freedom to paddle and stops for chatting. Also love that Outside really seems to care about the ecosystem here and has initiated and maintains several efforts to engage the community and implement sustainability programs. Huge thanks to this team!

Wonderful Family Adventure

A great family adventure. Learned a lot about the saltwater marshes and tidal effect. Hodge, our guide, was a hoot and very engaging. He and our guide in training, Trent, were very knowledgeable and made it a fun, memorable adventure.
