Capt Joe's knowledge of history, science, the Eco System.....was so vast, I can't even begin to tell you how much we learned and how much fun we had! There were sharks and dolphins all around us throughout our tour. .....Out O'Fallon the beach tours I've taken around the world, this was at the top!! I can't imagine any other captains... More

We did the sunset tour and had an amazing time. You pick the pace. Our guide was born and raised in the area so she had great stories and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and history. Saw 3 dolphins about 20 yards away which was the icing on the cake!

This was 2 1/2 hours of delight and great scenery. It is well worth the $45 per person, and it is a trip that I will take visitors on in the... More

Not being experienced paddlers, we opted for the 2 hour "family and friends" in the Folly Creek area where Charleston Outdoor is based. As it was a weekday morning before the family vacation season, we were delighted to learn when we arrived that it would be just us and our guide, Cooper. Cooper grew up in a SC river town... More

Thank you so much for coming out with Charleston Outdoor Adventures! You must have really enjoyed yourself to remember all of those details! It was certainly cold on the water for our 6am early morning staff water training, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Having a private tour is certainly a bonus of coming in early May before...

Captain Joe and Tripp are excellent guides to the lighthouse. We had a great time and learned a lot about the wildlife and Eco-system. Plenty of time on the barrier island for shelling. Best boat tour in Charleston!

My husband and I also were on this tour with Will on 4/27/13. It was the best experience. Even though we were experienced kayakers we knew nothing about the flora and fauna of the Lowcountry. Will was an excellent guide who was quick to spot birds, turtles, dolphins etc that we might be passing (including a shark which passed beneath... More

Our family (couple with 17 yr. old son) had a wonderful eco-tour with Will on our kayak tour... saw dolphins, turtles, and so many different varieties of birds, which Will was able to locate immediately and identify to us which I personally loved as an newbie bird-watcher. He was very informative regarding all our questions about the eco-systems, and all... More

We rented a tandem kayak from COA this week and had a fabulous experience. Great kayaking on tidal inlets - saw dolphins, egrets, herons - and had excellent customer service from Anna. COA has a wonderful location for enjoying the water!

We went on a sunset chartered boat cruise. Our captain and guru of all Eco matters was Joe who made the 2 hours + very enjoyable, such a nice guy. We were lucky enough to see over 20 dolphins, stunning views of the water way and finished with a beautiful sunset on the water. Definitely money well spent. Very entertaining,... More
