A UNIQUE TOUR EXPERIENCE

Kayak Charleston tours are a unique and personal way to experience Lowcountry rivers and streams, rice fields and wildlife in the Charleston area. Trips use river currents and tides so that paddling is easy and enjoyable for all levels of experience. The descriptions below highlight a selection of the many trip destinations that can be created for your unique experience.

 

 

ASHEPOO RIVER

The Ashepoo, Combahee and South Edisto (ACE) Basin represents one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the east coast of the US. The trip follows the gentle waters of Horseshoe Creek in the heart of the ACE Basin. We paddle upstream under a shady tree-lined canopy or downstream to view the rice fields and salt marsh habitats.

EDISTO RIVER RICE FIELD

Paddle on the Edisto River to a series of rice field canals. These canals were infrastructure used in the lucrative rice culture that made the Charleston area so wealthy in colonial and antebellum times.
