A Few Local Tours to Consider
Folly River to Bird Key
Join us at the Folly Landing for a fun and relaxing trip on the Folly
River to Bird Key. We'll stop on a neighboring sandbar as Bird Key is a
protected seabird nesting preserve. This is a great beginner trip – and a
great trip for nature lovers. We usually see dolphins playing or
feeding along the beach.

Stono River to Kiawah
We’ll launch from the Sol Legare Landing (Battery Island Rd) and paddle
down the Stono River to land on Kiawah. This paddle takes us along
undeveloped salt marsh, to sandy beach and a view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sea birds, dolphin and beachcombing add to this trip's appeal.
Morris Island Lighthouse
Ever wanted to kayak to the Morris Island Lighthouse? This is your
chance. We’ll launch at the Folly landing and follow the Folly
River to Lighthouse Creek. We’ll spend some time on the Island
before riding the tide back home.
Cherry Point Landing (Wadmalaw) to Deveaux Bank
Seabird nesting colonies on Deveaux Bank are protected, so access to the
island is limited. Paddling to the access provides lovely views of the
barrier island habitat.
After Work Folly River
Oak Creek – around Oak Island: Relaxed Oak Island
circumnavigation. A gentle paddle on the Folly River. A very nice way to
spend the evening, and a great trip for beginning paddlers.
Advanced Beginner Trip – Capers Island
Garris Landing – to Capers Island. Start out in the Inter-coastal
waterway and make a crossing through salt marsh and channels to one of
South Carolina's unspoiled barrier islands.
Intermediate Trip: Folly Island Semi-circumnavigation
Through the marsh and around the ocean side!
Note: paddlers must be willing and able to verify their paddling skill level before booking this trip.
