Kayaking in South Carolina
from: Maxx Adventure TravelSouth Carolina is a state full of adventure, fun and relaxation for residents and tourists alike. There's something for everyone of all ages to enjoy no matter what part you live in or are visiting. With all of the beauty surrounding this all-American escape, it's only natural that one would take full advantage of the great outdoors. That's why South Carolina is known for some great kayaking, whether you're a rookie to the waters or an aquatic guru!
Nearly every major city in South Carolina has all the necessities to make your kayaking experience the ultimate adventure. And because kayaking is an easy and calm activity, it's the perfect outdoor excursion for people of all ages and ability levels. You can find professional guided tours through Calm Water Kayak Tours of South Carolina.
Although you may have experienced the busy waters of South Carolina's beaches, the guides of Calm Water have made it their top priority to show you the quiet and sparkling waters of South Carolina's lakes and streams. Calm Waters provides tours around Lake Jocassee, Saluda River, Lake Russell, Lake Greenwood, Lake Hartwell, and Lake Keowee.
While Beaufort, South Carolina is known as a busy city and is home to several United States Marines, it is also home to Beaufort Kayak Tours. You can choose from three different exploration routes, including Historic Beaufort, Salt Marsh Exploration, and Hunting Island. If you choose the Salt Marsh Exploration, keep your eyes peeled for the sight of a bottle-nose dolphin, as they are known to inhabit this area of South Carolina. You can also learn how to throw your own cast net to catch some of the saltwater crabs.
The Historic Beaufort tour provides a detailed, narrated excursion of the interesting history that surrounds Beaufort -- and you'll never even have to walk the streets to take it all in! Hunting Island explores the tranquil sights of the lagoon surrounding the nearby beach, and is known for the entertainment of jumping mullets.
Check out Cool Breeze Kayaking in Hilton Head for a relaxing view of nature along with your trip to the beach. Here you can experience the two-hour Dolphin Nature Tour which provides a first-hand look at these amazing marine creatures. You can also catch a glimpse of otter and osprey! Please be sure to make advance reservations for this kayaking tour, as space is extremely limited.
Most kayaking tours in South Carolina are available for around $40 per adult, $30 per child. Packages vary and can be accustomed to suit your needs and budget. In fact, some South Carolina kayaking tours even offer overnight excursions for those who want to incorporate the great outdoors as part of their vacation. Be sure to ask what is included with your kayaking package, as some packages will offer a picnic lunch, t-shirt, or other souvenir. Although life jackets are typically provided, be sure to bring one in case a member of your party is a child or can't swim.
With so many options available for a great kayaking adventure in South Carolina, you can't go wrong by trying this out-of-the-ordinary outdoor experience!
