5Really fun
Had a great time, did a sunset paddle for a couple hours in the bay right outside their shop in Folly Beach. We saw dolphins, lots of sea birds including a blue heron, and even deer. Our guide was great and had tons of interesting info.
5Definitely a top priority activity!
Top rating for this tour! We did the sunset dolphin paddleboard safari with Big Jon. What a fabulous activity! Jon was a great guide and took into account everything we wanted to see and everyone’s skill level. The area is so serene and gorgeous at sunset, and we had a lot of dolphin activity and actually got to see them feeding! A great time, and our 14yo loved it. Thanks Jon!
5Newbie Kayakers had great time!
Great trip on kayaks for our group of three. We had 14 people and 2 guides. Perfect experience on the folly river
5Amazing sup tour
This sup trip was such a cool and amazing experience. Our guide was great and we felt very comfortable with him! Had so much fun. 100% recommandation. Thanks for this great tour und time.
3Beware of Parking Rules
Quite a lovely little beach town, but the parking situation is rough. There are several odd rules. We parked on a side road and got a ticket for $60 within 15 minutes.
5Sunset Paddleboard - Samantha was great!
This was a great experience. Samantha was our guide. She gave an excellent prep with clear directions and a few tips for getting better movement. We saw dolphins and had a beak to play in the pluff mud and swim a little. Samantha gave great instructions on getting back and kept an eye out to ensure that no one was struggling or left behind. Her knowledge of the area was great and we really enjoyed our sunset tour with her. I don’t think it would have been as enjoyable in the heat of the day, but the sunset was beautiful.
