Charleston Stand-Up Paddleboard Eco Tour

Overview

This 2-hour introductory paddle on the Edge of America will get you into the basics of SUP, all in the calm flatwater of the Folly River. All safaris begin with "ground school" or SUP instructions with your Lifeguard Certified Instructors. We'll explore alongside the numerous beautiful native birds and bottlenose dolphins. We'll go with the flow, following the tides and wind direction for a great beginning paddle. At low tide we visit a private beach and go for a swim!

Group photo is taken at the end of the tour, which will be posted on our social media pages.

My husband and I tried paddleboarding for the very first time in Charleston. I was nervous, but J.D. gave a good lesson before we started. It was easier to get up than I thought it would be. J.D. was very knowledgeable about the area and entertained us with stories and facts while we paddled down the river. About halfway through, we stopped and had our waters that J.D. carried for us. We had a ton of dolphin sightings, and they came up really close to us. So neat! Excellent tour even for newbies.

Aloha Richard, We're stoked y'all had an awesome time on your first SUP safari. JD is a great guide and local who grew ride down the street, so he's always ready to share his home with paddlers. Come back and see us now that y'all are experts!
