My boyfriend and I did the twilight kayak ride and had a wonderful time. The weather could not have been better. Our guide was extremely knowledgable, but presented the information in a way that was easy to understand. We left with a better understanding of our ecosystem as well as a wonderful kayaking experience. Highly recommend! Best kayak tour I've... More

We are very grateful for the kindness and hospitality shown to us by Cooper, Brad and Anna during our 3hr kayak expedition and 2hr paddle boarding outing. Myself, my spouse and two teenage children were all new to the Charleston area and to kayaking and paddle boarding. We greatly appreciated the patience of the staff in getting us up to... More

Thank YOU and your family for coming out and having such a great time! It was awesome to see all four of you standing up on your boards! Definitely a proud moment. I'm so glad you were able to come on two of our excellent excursions, I hope to see you again next year!! -Anna and the COA Crew More

We had 4 adults and 2 preteens with 3 paddle boards, a double and single kayak. We were given a lesson, a map and told where to go. We had a great time and the staff was wonderful. They gave us all the instructions we needed and let us go exploring. It was beautiful and fun!

We absolutely loved our kayaking trip with COA. Our guide Cooper took us out in the estuary of Folly Creek for two hours and we were able to see dolphins, storks, oysters and all kinds of other other good stuff! She was very knowledgeable about everything around us and we never felt rushed. My daughters (18,16 and 13) had a... More

We took the 2 hour Twilight kayak paddle tour and had a wonderful time. The scenery was beautiful, and the two guides on the tour with us were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the local marine life and about some of the conservation issues affecting the Charleston ecosystem. The trip was fun, easy (the paddling itself... More

We booked a paddle board tour and the Morris Island lighthouse tour today. My wife and I had a blast! Our guide Brad was highly knowledgeable about the surrounding ecosystems while teaching us how to stand up on the paddle board. I thought it was going to be really hard but Brad was a great help to us both. Then,... More

Fantastic that you and your wife had such a fabulous time! Couldn't ask for a more well rounded experience than trying one of each of our tours. You must have really had a great time judging from all of your exclamation points, and I hope to see you both out here again in the future!! -Anna and the COA Crew More

I booked a 3-hour morning kayak tour for the family. We lucked out and the tour was private. Our guide, Cooper, was awesome. She grew up in SC and studied geology in Charleston so she knows a ton about the environment/ecosystem. We had a great time learning about the estuary and local wildlife. She even pulled up some crab traps... More

So glad you had such an awesome time with Cooper! She's here this whole season and loves being out on the water. Come again after the seasons change and experience the different wildlife that the fall brings. Thank you for coming out with COA! -Anna and the COA crew More

We do kayak tours whenever we travel. This was an excellent one. It was an easy 2 hr paddle through the marsh. Scenery was lovely and we saw some great birds and wildlife (shark, dolphin). What really made the trip was our excellent guide/naturalist, Cooper. She was knowledgeable, friendly and clearly loves her job.

The Morris Island Lighthouse Charter, which is our most popular, is my personal favorite as well!! That's amazing that you were able to hear the dolphins and enjoy your time walking on the beach. Thank you so much for riding with Captain Joe and enjoying your time here with COA! -Anna and Staff More
