“My wife and I did the Introduction to Stand Up Paddle board. It was an outstanding experience. Neither of us had every done any SUP before, but both had a great time. Fun and enjoyable. Charmaine was an excellent instructor, very experienced and knowledgeable. Her expert guidance had us out on the water in enjoying the day without any issues.” ★★★★★

Here’s what the people are saying:
“My family and I went on the 2 hour guided kayak nature tour and loved it. Bridget was our guide and she shared her knowledge and love for her native Hilton Head. The kayaking was fun and a good workout. We saw a variety of birds, lots of oysters and crabs and the highlight of our trip was a beautiful dolphin. The dolphin swam all around us and between our kayaks and was so close that we were able to hear him breathe!” ★★★★★

“My son treated me to a kayaking experience with Outside Hilton Head. Kevin was our guide. I had never been on a kayak before, so I was a little apprehensive while at the same time excited to try something new. Kevin was encouraging and patient with the group. We had three or four planned stops during our excursion in which he pointed out landmarks, shared some history, explained something about the ecosystem, or told a story. Kevin chatted with his guests and was open to questions. The two-hour adventure was great fun. Being out on the water was peaceful and the nature that surrounded us was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to do it again.”★★★★★
