Description
Since 1992, we’ve been guiding people into the wild beauty of the South Carolina coast—by kayak, paddleboard, and boat—with the belief that meaningful experiences in nature change us for the better. As naturalists, storytellers, and locals, we love sharing what we know about this place: its tides and trails, its wildlife and history, its hidden corners and open skies.
From Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge to Beaufort, our waterside outposts connect people to the Lowcountry’s creeks, estuaries, and barrier islands. We’re here to make the outdoors feel close, accessible, and unforgettable. We look to our staff to make this goal a reality.
