I had an outstanding experience with Coastal Expeditions. Captain Jim and First Mate Morgan were both friendly and knowledgeable. They took us to Morris Island where we found several shark teeth. On the return trip, it became a bit cold, but Captain Jim provided sleeping bags to keep us warm and shield us from the wind. I highly recommend them, and I will definitely return to book with Coastal Expeditions again.
The pricing was fair, and the organization was excellent. My friend and I enjoyed a delightful morning on the water while taking in the sights of Charleston.
I organized a sunrise kayak tour for our 12 staff members, and it was an amazing experience. Our guides, Madison and Miles, were friendly, enjoyable, and very informative about the area's history, wildlife, and ecosystems. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins! The booking process was smooth, and the communication was clear and comprehensive. I highly recommend this tour.
We had an incredible experience with a very knowledgeable guide and a small group, making it an accessible adventure. We definitely plan to come back.
I organized a tour for about 20 people from Boston to Charleston, highlighting history, preservation, and art. On the final day, we explored the harbor's marine ecology. Morgan was an engaging guide who expertly discussed the delicate balance between urban development and nature. She introduced us to numerous bird species, shared insights on the shrimp and fishing industries, and ensured we spotted dolphins as well.
Fantastic experience! Olivia was excellent, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins.
The kayaking trip around Shem Creek was a standout experience during our time in Charleston. Spotting dolphins was exhilarating! Coastal Expeditions demonstrated excellent organization and a strong commitment to customer service. Although we are experienced kayakers, they made the experience accessible for beginners as well. Our guide had remarkable knowledge about the area and its wildlife. The only downside was that we wished it had lasted longer.
The kayaking adventure was fantastic. Our guide, Jacob, who is nearing graduation with a biology degree, was exceptional, and the entire tour exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the choice between solo and tandem kayaks. Coastal Expeditions demonstrated a high level of professionalism and stood out significantly compared to the other outfitter on Shem Creek, which had an unkempt and unpleasant appearance.
The morning dolphin viewing boat ride was a fantastic experience. We spotted numerous birds and gained valuable insights about the local environment. Our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend this activity.
The training was excellent, and the route through the area was fascinating. Graham was very personable and shared a wealth of knowledge. I gained insights about the Outer Banks filming in the Shem Creek region.
