Paddleboard Rental Reviews

This was my first time paddle boarding, and I went with someone who has done it multiple times. Our reservation was for 10 am on a Saturday morning, and they were very busy! Workers were running around trying to outfit tour groups, and if you weren't in a group, you had to stop someone to ask where you go to get life jackets, paddles, etc. We snagged a worker who was gearing us up, only to have our equipment taken away by another worker who said that equipment was intended for his group. So, our guy had to run off again and find us more. However, all the workers we encountered were very nice! When we got out in the harbor, however, everything was great. Loved the dolphins, sea turtles, and all the birds!! Be warned, though, that boaters DO NOT like paddle boarders and kayakers. We heard a couple of rude and impatient things being yelled by people on boats to those on paddle boards and kayaks. Stay out of the middle of the waterway, for sure!!

My daughter and I have rented paddle boards with Nature Adventures a couple of times - guided and unguided - every time is great experience - highly recommend.

We tried stand up paddle boards for the first time. With his help we got the hang of it pretty quick. Saw some dolphins , learned some history, got some tips, sweated our @#$% off and had a great morning.

My daughter & I rented stand up paddle boards for 3 hours & had an amazing time together. Shem creek was fun to explore on our own & the highlight was seeing the dolphins so close to us! The staff was kind & knowledgeable, we would definitely rent from them again the next time we visit Charleston!

My husband and I went paddle boarding with Nature Adventures recently and we had a blast! We had never been paddle boarding before, and they gave us some great tips and pointers before we got out. They also reassured us that if SUP was too hard, we could come back and swap for kayaks. They were very accommodating; we had to reschedule due to weather and there were no issues with things rearranged. I highly recommend booking with them!

The best in town! Love going out with them!

We had a great experience paddleboarding! The staff is wonderful!

Unfortunately, we did not have such a great experience. We are still in the process of trying to get it fixed, but waiting to hear back from the company. My daughter and her friend arrived to go paddle boarding. They insisted that they had a phone with them on the water so my daughter had to buy a bag that they sold there. It was a chain connected to a bag and you put the phone inside and then you wear it around your neck. 10 minutes into the paddle boarding, the chain broke and my daughters brand new iPhone fell into the water and sunk to the bottom of Shem Creek. She did not even want to bring her phone with her and asked if she could keep it in the car and they said that she had to have it with her. The chain came unfastened from the bag which caused it to fall off of her neck and sink. Nature adventures told her that she signed a waiver, and it was not their fault and there was nothing they can do. My husband spoke to Katherine and Elisabeth, who were both very nice, and we are waiting to hear back. They seem to blame it on the company who made the bags. Obviously, that is not our fault or our problem . Isn’t that why companies have insurance? Between the paddle boarding, Buying the bag and the cost of the iPhone, it was a $1300 three hours!!! We are still waiting to hear back from them to hear what they can do. Hopefully they will do the right thing and I can adjust and change this review.

Great time, beautiful paddle, nice people! Easy to recommend

I went paddle boarding with Nature Adventures not too long ago and I had a blast! It was such a scenic experience and I 100% recommend trying it out!

I had a really great time paddle boarding here! The staff was really friendly and welcoming and made sure me and my friends were prepared before starting . We paddled for about 3 hrs and saw dolphins as well! So cool.. And you can’t beat the price! Definitely will be coming back

Had a great time paddleboarding up shem! The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and prepared. We even got an up close encounter with some dolphins! 🐬

Super fun! My mom and I have a blast

Such a fun experience and such kind staff. Sean gave us the map tour and paddle instruction and he was very kind even to the disgruntled couple next to us.

Loved the friendly staff, clean and working supplies, and great views!

My friends and I went over Labor Day weekend hoping to go paddle boarding. We made reservations and were excited to get on the water! Unfortunately when we arrived, one of the group started to feel sick and wasn't able to go. Not wanting to split up the group, we all decided that we'd cancel our reservation right there. We didn't know it before but you aren't really able to cancel a reservation without getting charged. Kathie, the owner, came out to ask if there was anything wrong and we explained the situation to her. We were prepared to pay for the reservations she lost because no one likes to get screwed over but Kathie seemed to have a change of heart and didn't end up charging us. Thanks Kathie!
