Take a Kayak Tour and See the True Lowcountry

Yesterday I enjoyed the pleasure of going on a kayak tour with Paddlefish Tours. PaddleFish also offers eco-tours and other family activities:
- Turtle watching tours
- Dolphin watching excursions
- Shelling tours
- Sunset boat tours
- Private charters.
For my big adventure I met up with my tour guide Patrick for a 9:30 am start. He is a South Carolina native who grew up playing in the waters of Bohicket Creek. Patrick gave us the choice of paddling a kayak alone or with a partner. After a brief training and distributing of equipment we were off!
Patrick so knowledgeable and really adds to the whole experience. He knows so much about the biological environment through his formal education and growing up navigating the creeks and salt marshes. His favorite subject to talk about was the oysters and how beneficial they are to our waters. Paddlefish is part of a volunteer program to refurbish the oyster beds in our area.
During our tour we saw stingrays, blue crabs, fiddler crabs, various birds and yes we did see dolphins!! The tour lasted almost 2 hours. It was an amazing experience. One of the girls on the tour took advantage of the mineral rich pluff mud. She covered herself with it! Apparently it is really good for your skin and chances are you may have been covered with it at your local spa.
This is such a great adventure! Even if you have never kayaked before you should come out and try it! The guides are highly experienced and there to assist everyone.
Paddlefish offers kayak tours, turtle tours to Botany Island, dolphin watching and shelling tours, sunset boat tours, and even private charter tours! Call Mike to arrange for your lowcountry excursion….Tell him Sherri at Seabrook Exclusives sent you! Happy paddling!!! 843-330-9777
