He provided a cart to put our alcohol in and transport it down the dock. Our 3 friends were running late, so the crew picked them up on a tender and brought them to the boat when they arrived. Very nice of them! Drew, Casey and the rest of the crew were very friendly and didn't mind our groups choice in music (ha). We ran out of alcohol half way through our 4 hour timeframe, so the crew actually offered to run to shore and purchase more for us and we could pay them back. They were truly lifesavers!! The tiki hut is sooo much fun and the big float was great. I recommend for sure!!!

I'm not sure this is actually a reputable company. I have tried for five days straight to schedule…read moretwo fly boarding sessions I won at a silent charity auction. I have left voicemails and texted with no reply. I saw they have an active Instagram account that they have posted pics on all week. So I posted my request on there (see pic). Instead of reaching out to me to help me schedule, they deleted my comment. Not professional at all and not good for business. If you donate a good or service for a silent auction for charity, please know that the bidder may pay full or more than face value for the item as I did. While I love giving money to charity, I was also incentivized by the opportunity to fly board for the first time. I could certainly book a session online with a credit card but there is no mechanism for this company to follow through on providing a donated service. And I don't have the time to keep calling and leaving voicemails. I am sure this was a tax write off for this company so I will be sure to report this back to the charity. Very disappointed and I truly hope this company is not doing this on a routine basis.

It is okay if it's your first time, they taught my sister how to paddle, and it is very easy to learn. I would recommend brining water, sunglasses and a hat because depending what time of year it can get hot and sunny. Seeing the dolphins was such a beautiful experience.

It was the perfect day to be out on the water. There was a current heading out so it made it a nice arm workout. On the way back, it was almost like a lazy river as it brought us back. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and the area was beautiful and filled with so many amazing birds.

It's byob and snacks but they provide coolers and ice. We brought our own small cooler anyway to keep everything cold and it was a pro-move. When we arrived at the dock, it was a little confusing to figure out where we were supposed to be, but you park at brittlebank park and walk over to the ramp. There is no path or any signage for the tour so just trust your gut. We were ealy so we weren't concerned. They pulled up to the dock after gassing up and we all started to load onto the boat. There's seating all along the edges with coolers in the middle. The back of the boat is the captains area and the bathroom as well. Yes, there's a head on board, but it's strictly for #1. Don't get any poopy ideas because there's probably 5 stickers (piles of poop with a red circle and line through it) and reminders letting you know how uncool it is #2 on the tiki tour. We had a delay before we left the dock as a big storm was rolling by. The sky went dark and there was lightning off in the distance so we held tight and started with some drinks and getting to know our tiki tour companions. We also brok out our charcuterie and snack selection which was nice to handle while saddled up at the dock. We did get some rain sitting at the dock, but it passed quickly and we were on our way. We cruised through the charleston harbor taking in the sights, sunset, and musical stylings of Uncle Tim's Bench. Tim was probably my favorite part of the tour. He kept the mood light and fun singing some classic covers as well as a few originals as well. If you're a fan of Dispatch or OAR then you're gonna be a fan of Tim. The calm after the storm made for a beautiful evening cruise. We were going to stay out a little longer to make up for missed time at the beginning, but another pass of the storm was brewing so we doubled back to the dock. It was a good call because the rain came down about 30 seconds after we got in our car. Whether you're visiting or locals like us, check out the tiki tours of Charleston for a great time on the water. Extra pro tip: Tip your captain, deck hands, and entertainment. Some people didn't which leads me to believe that they either don't know that it's customary or they are rude. Everyone worked hard to ensure we had a safe and fun time so I was very appreciative.

What was being offered at the time was not going to work for the type of event or my schedule.

Plan early and make reservations if you want to fish or cruise out around Charleston.

Plenty of room for our group and loved the restroom facilities being so clean and accessible.

I will consider this place in the future if it turns out I need an event space. Highly recommend.

Coming prepared is important. Besides a bathing suit, it would be wise to have a long-sleeve shirt…read moreand hat (or a huge tub of sunscreen), some sort of water shoes, and some way of protecting your devices. I got a watertight bag for my phone. They say they'll store your keys, but they didn't remind me and in my haste to hit the water I somehow floated the entire distance with my super expensive electronic car key in my pocket, which neither fell out nor was any the worse for wear, miraculously. You have to pay to get into the state park where this endeavor begins, which in total brings the cost to around $40 a head or so. Which for me was not bad given the experience. I received help getting the tube down to the water and they had some watercraft at the end to gently bump me to shore. They say floating down the river takes two hours; it doesn't seem that long a distance but it is a slow-moving river and my trip took around two and a half hours in the water. Obviously, you can slow yourself down or speed yourself up. The shores of the river were verdant, with frequent houses and docks and a lot of signs saying to stay off of various people's private property (fair enough), but I still managed to find a bit of beach for a brief respite, and the trip ends at a sandbar. Various powered watercraft whizzed by, but they mostly just caused some pleasant waves. Conditions will vary, but I found the water immensely pleasant on a summer day, and on the water I didn't have a huge mosquito problem (I did apply repellent). The depth was such that during much of the trip I was actually floating and could not touch the bottom, but there were certainly places where you could. The inquiring mind wonders whether alligators, snakes, bull sharks, or some other river monster is hiding beneath the murky water, but I observed no such creatures (as a one-time Australian, there's no way I'd get into an Australian river where I couldn't see what was around me). The bottom was mostly sandy, but did occasionally have branches and things, and water shoes do help. I underestimated how much time my legs would spend out of the water and did not apply sunscreen to them; I wish I'd either done that or just carried sunscreen in some container. The end area had brightly colored trip employees to shepherd you in using watercraft, as well as a volleyball net and picnic area for those so inclined. A bus brings you in short order back to where you started. A trip through the surrounding countryside suggests a pastoral, relatively natural environment, and driving through it I always wished there were more tourist opportunities to experience this unique landscape and dodge the heat. Turns out, this is the place.
