John our guide had an easy laid back way about him while being super professional at the same time. He shared a lot of great info about the area, gave fantastic instruction and took excellent care of us. Really couldn't ask for more.
We almost never give 5 stars - owl eyes, whatever they are. Being from the corporate world, we need to walk on water (no pun intended) to get a 5 star review of our annual performance so we tend to use the same system. You need to go above and beyond to get 5 from us...and John did:
We originally scheduled an ocean SUP wave catching surf trip...we surf, but have never surfed with a paddle and the light to moderate waves of the east coast would seem to go hand in hand with SUPing. He called before the excursion to let us know the forecast was looking flat and allowed us to reschedule. That day came and he also said it would be flat, but offered to take us on a different tour. He could have kept the original appt - what we asked for - and we prolly would have been disappointed, but clearly he wanted to make sure we had a good time. This attitude of caring about his customers carried through during our time with him and earns Charleston SUP Safaris...a 5 eyeball review.
So yeah, go to Charleston SUP Safaris if you are in the area, good people offering a really fun activity.

Aloha,
Thanks so much for awesome and thorough review about your experience SUPing with us. We're a family company and like to treat everyone like they're part of it. We say all of our tours are organic, meaning that Mother Nature is in charge, and we always have to be ready to go with the flow. It also helps that the ocean and Folly river are only a few blocks from each other, so we can change a SUP surfing lesson into a Dolphin Tour on the same day.
Thanks,
Jon
