Kayak Charleston, LLC features kayak tours on local rivers and streams,
generally using trips noted in the guidebook. We specialize in small groups
(no more than 6 people) in order to provide a personal touch for each
paddler. Our boats are recreational kayaks with large cockpits. These
are relatively stable boats and paddling novices generally have no problem
with their stability or maneuverability.
If you are visiting the area, or wanting an adventure for the entire
family, we have trips that fit your needs. We schedule trips to use river
currents or the tide to make padlding easy and enjoyable. Novices and
experienced paddlers are all welcome. This is the way to get out and experience
the Lowcountry rivers and streams, to see rice fields, and to see wildlife
up close.
We always plan to provide time to get out of the boats, take a break,
and enjoy various sandbars and open riverbanks.
Please contact me about scheduling a trip for you or
your group. I plan the trips around your skills, your timeframe, and the
tides for that day. Just call (843 509-3037) or e mail me with the particulars
and I will set something up.
Here are some coments from my trips:
Kayaking with Ralph Earhart - I am not an outdoors-type person by any
stretch of the imagination. My husband recently started kayaking and I
had read very good reviews of Ralph Earhart on here, so I told him to
set something up. We did a 3 hour trip on the Edisto River/through rice
fields/ending on Penny Creek. I had never been kayaking before and was
pretty nervous but I was at ease as soon as I met Ralph. I loved the trip.
It was a highlight of the vacation. Highly recommended! I saw things I
never would have seen otherwise. It was very "serene" also as
Ralph described it.
and
We had a fantastic time and we did get to see dolphins so my wife was
happy. She is telling everyone that the kayak trip was the most enjoyable
activity during our time in Charleston.
