Kayak Rental Reviews

Very nice and informative during the kayaking!

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and the dolphins were amazing. The views were beautiful. We will use Nature Adventures again

Friendly staff, accommodated some last minute changes and make for an enjoyable morning outing.

Had an amazing time out on Shem with Nature Adventures. They were able to hold onto our valuables and allowed my dog to join at no additional cost. Very easy to work with. Will absolutely be doing this again!

DO NOT COME AND RENT AT THIS PLACE!!!!!! This establishment does not abide by their hours of operation. They close early at their discretion whether you call beforehand or not. The manager, Elizabeth will gaslight you into believing that you are the reason why her employees needed to leave early if you do not show up at your non reserved time. Either reserve a spot with this rental place or don’t waste your time because they want to go home. Spend your vacation money elsewhere because Elizabeth is rude and condescending anyway.

Great place and wonderful employees! From arriving and checking in to leaving the water when your done it is just seamless! Great customer service and friendly guides. Will definitely be returning.

Gabe was kind, down to earth and helpful! We rented kayaks twice from Nature Adventures on Shem Creek, we had a great time, the kayaks were in great condition and clean. My boys’ wanted to fish on Shem Creek and Nature Adventures on Shem Creek made that possible. My MN boys landed their first Flounder and Sea Trout. Thank you Gabe and Nature Adventures on Shem Creek kayak rental.

Yesterday I went kayaking for the first time with family members. One of our party was an experienced kayaker, but three of us were fairly new and one did paddleboard for the first time. The staff at NAO were very friendly and helpful, and made sure we knew what we were doing before we left land. Call ahead to reserve a kayak and ask when the tides are coming in and out so you don't have to fight the current. There are some beautiful homes along the creek and the wildlife is amazing. There are lots of bars and restaurants around if you want to relax after your trip. Warning: Water's Edge restaurant, on the same side of the creek as NAO, will have you towed if you park in any of their not-well-marked parking spaces. When you ask their very rude parking goon where you can park for kayaking, he'll tell you he doesn't know. Park on the opposite side of the creek near Red's Ice House, enjoy kayaking, then get something cold to drink while sitting on Red's outdoor patio and watch the boats and dolphins go by.

Helpful staff, reasonable priced. I recommend using this company

Amazing time with my wife on a tandem kayak, it was my first time, the guides before we went out (they don’t go with you) showed, explained, and taught us all we needed to know to have a great time! Great place to see dolphins, boats, and many other surrounding areas! We will be back!

Love their happy hour specials!! Beautiful location, great kayaks, number #1 spot

Can’t say enough how great of a time I had! Can’t wait to come back for another adventure!

I had the BEST day !!! Starting with Natures Adventure on Shem Creek ! Employees were all super nice !! Kayaking to the island to find shark teeth , watching the dolphins play around our kayak within arms reach was amazing let alone the views of Charlston !! Thank you so much !! I will be back ❤️❤️🩷🩷

Went on July 4th they closed at 3 and we got there around 12:30.it was the perfect amount of time. Going out to the islands was a lot of fun we saw multiple dolphins around the fishing docks. A lot of the area is shallow-around a foot deep so we got stuck at times but it was no big deal Coming back to the direction of the ramp was a little harder. We also went futher up the creek and saw more dolphins there as well. I didn't expect to see so many dolphins so that was a pleasant surprise. Bring water a hat and prepare to get wet as well

This was a super fun experience and the staff were very nice and helpful in new waters. Definitely will be doing this again!

It was the first time Kayaking and it was a great experience, got to see dolphins up close.

It was good but for just renting a kayak it came out as the same cost as a tour which seems crazy to me. Didn't really see much and was disappointed the tour got cancelled and we couldn't get another tour so we paid the same amount to rent a kayak and do it our self. Seems pricey. But was alright

Incredibly helpful, would definitely go back again

Friendly staff & a great location for kayaking!

Great experience, places for easy relaxing kayaking and areas where more waves and little more challenging and great chance to see dolphins, had one right beside my kayak
