Excellent customer service for my friends and I. We're mostly inexperienced so just rented opposed to a time commitment of a tour. I think I would take a tour next time as I feel I could have used more hands on advice. Still a great day! Thanks Jon:) Colleen, Tina, Carla and Donna

Great experience for my first time paddle boarding. Our guide Trey was extremely knowledgeable on the ecosystem and local area. Would recommend this to anyone!

For a SUP'er who can handle the surf and chop, the lighthouse safari is an excellent excursion. John, the owner and guide on this tour, was on time and prepared. Great guy, very conversational, calm, encouraging and nice. We were on the beach 20 minutes after I arrived and in the water moments later.We drove to the beach, launched through... More

We took a large group (one 10 year old, some preteens, some older teens and all the moms and dads) out for paddleboarding with Big... More

We had such an amazing morning paddleboarding with our guide. Kenny was fun patient and informative! We learned really quickly and saw some dolphins and other sea life. They weren't in a hurry and were focused on making sure we had a great time. Def. would go back!!

Charleston SUP Safaris was a great group of people...they were fun and were very clear on not only HOW to stand up but were very good on your safety. We had a large group of people...(just my husband and myself in our party) but total people was about 19. This company had three guides to take care this large group... More

We did this as a group of 3 adults and 5 children aged 8-13. It was a blast and much easier than I anticipated. We had Phil and Richard as our guides and they were helpful, fun, and patient. They love their job and it shows. We didn't get to see dolphins up close but you can't control nature. It... More

Richard and Andrew were great tour guides and kayak instructors. They led three families up the Folly River and through the low country marsh grasses at high tide. We saw beautiful birds and a pair of dolphins. Everyone loved it.

I recently vacationed at Folly Beach and tried out SUP Safaris for paddle board lessons. John, Lindsay and my instructor, Kenny, were terrific. The lesson was practical and fun and I liked it so much that I rented a paddle board for a couple of days and was hooked. Folly Beach is a great place to try out paddle boarding... More
