One of the kayaks
Marissa W.

Had a wonderful time after renting two kayaks. There are dry bags supplied if you need more than one you just have to ask. Wonderful area to kayak to, the island is nice. Watching out for the tide and seeing how the land changes is so fun. Definitely will be coming back!

Pawleys Island Creek with Pawleys Kayaks

What fun! We had the most amazing day on the creek! Pawleys Kayaks made our day! They made it so easy to get the boards, paddles and PFD's. Being out on the creek with all of the gorgeous wildlife made our vacation complete! We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Paddle boarding all day! So much fun!

No online booking but you get to talk to the owner who is nice and helpful and will even recommend…read moreother kayak businesses in the area if they're not what you're looking for. I did my research ahead of time and knew they were what I was looking for. I wanted a sunrise kayak by experienced people who will not sell me gimmick and promises, just straight up the service I want and preferably a private tour. This last bit, of course, seemed impossible so I would have been willing to settle for non-private until I found their services! Yes, private. As small as 2 people in a tour. For us, it was only my husband and I. Shawn and Toni Rae are fantastic people. I booked ahead of time but was told since I wanted an open ocean kayak, the day could change based on tide conditions which is totally understandable for everyone's safety. Fortunately for us, the whole week was open since we were intending to catch the sunrise and there's nothing to do at 5am anyway. The day of, we drove over to their address, signed waivers, left our things for safe keeping at their house and headed to the beach. After getting our kayaks situated and safety instructions were given, including how to enter and exit the ocean safely, we were off. While we've done kayaking plenty of times on lakes, we've only ever done open ocean kayaking once before this time. Yes, it is more difficult and you do need to follow the instructions so you don't hurt yourself or flip your kayak. Shawn and Toni Rae were very helpful and clear with their instructions. He was also close by to make sure my husband and I got on and passed the waves and paddled safely away from the beach. We waited about 15 minutes before sunrise and he took a bunch of beautiful photos and sent them to us. No additional fees for the photos! After the photos, we headed back to shore and successfully made it back safely. The biggest take away from the experience though was that, it was truly exhilarating. We've both been kayaking on the Pacific ocean before by ourselves but I don't think we would have been brave enough to do it in the dark, before daylight. This experience was truly one of a kind and we had the best time!

Shawn was an amazing guide for my first paddleboarding adventure. Even my friend who paddleboarded…read morebefore learned a lot from Shawn about getting up, balancing, etc. I couldn't figure out if he was a marine biologist, a historian, or a geologist as he knew so much about so many things. It was just by chance that we picked MB Paddleboard and Kayak Adventures, but I am so glad that we did. Don't hesitate, just book these guys and have a wonderful time. :)

*****Look at the unverified reviews and you'll see tons of happy customers whose only Yelp review…read moreis of this awesome couple. Since it's their only review, Yelp flags them as unverified. Trent and Meghan are passionate about everything they do. They set up a non-profit because they're passionate about training, about the environment, youth programs, safety, you name it. I went with 2 of my sisters in law, 1 of which I've paddleboarded with before, and the other was pretty nervous since she had never done it before. All 3 of us left the day sad it ended, ready to do it again, and big fans of Carolina Waterman. They take tons of professional grade pictures during the excursion, at no cost, and will post them on Facebook along with sending you a google drive of them. That's a crazy good added bonus!!! Go look at their Facebook page and you'll see their work. The reserve is beautiful - clean, calm waters, and you get a glimpse into the ecosystem and the animals that breed and grow up there. They can tell you stories about specific animals and their habits etc. Pretty cool. These folks are providing the community with a great service, you won't regret giving them your business!!

Just returned from our week-long vacation in Myrtle Beach and had to come review Trent & Carolina…read morePaddle Company. Everyone in our group named our standup paddleboard outing as the highlight of our vacation. Our group was three adults (mom, dad, teen) and three kids (10, 9, 6). All three adults ended up paddling and so did my 10 year old daughter (very athletic, good balance and very confident). My 9 year old rode on the front of daddy's paddleboard, and my six year old rode on the front of Trent's board. Highlights: Trent had us fitted to our boards and paddles, briefed on paddling and safety and out on the river in no time. The site of the tour is beautiful and Trent shares his knowledge of the area and the wildlife. Trent is FANTASTIC with kids. My six year old was wiggly & chatty and Trent was a natural with her. He was very encouraging with my 10 year old who was growing tired toward the end of the outing. Other good stuff: Trent answers emails quickly, the online scheduling tool is easy to use, and he takes pictures of your group during your trip and emails them to you. Overall a wonderful experience! We will definitely be going again!

Kicking off this review by making it clear that kayaking was not my idea of a vacation day well…read morespent. Sure, I consider myself somewhat outdoorsy ... I like hiking and biking as much as the next gal ... but I was NOT stoked on kayaking for four hours through potentially alligator-infested waters. But keep reading ... because my experience with Water Dog Paddle Co. totally changed my mind. From the initial booking process to the communication before we actually even got on the water, Ryan was great! He sent us a pin with the exact location we'd be embarking from ... and made sure we had his phone number if we somehow got lost along the way. He also pushed back our planned launch based on the tides, so we would get the best experience possible out on the water. You do have to sign a waiver, but Ryan walks you through all the details once the whole crew has arrived. As I mentioned above, I was scared about coming across a gator ... but Ryan explained he can count on one hand the amount of times he's seen one while on a tour, and reassured us that they don't usually venture out into the salt marshes. Water Dog provides all the gear you need ... life jackets, kayaks and oars ... plus water bottles for your group once you're actually out on the water. Once you're actually in the kayak, Ryan is an amazing tour guide. He's been paddle boarding all over the world, and he told us all about his travels in between pointing out some of the incredible South Carolina wildlife. We even saw two dolphins during the tour, which was an unforgettable addition to an already awesome day. I will say that kayaking is not as easy as everyone says it is. I got stuck in the reeds several times because it's kind of hard to stop once you get started ... but my fiancé pulled me out by my oars and helped get us back on track. Thankfully - I did not fall in the water. That was my number one concern ... and I managed to come away mostly dry. At the end of our kayaking voyage, Ryan gave us each a Water Dog sticker ... and explained the story behind the company's name (no spoilers! You have to book a trip and find out for yourself). He also took several pictures of us while we were kayaking ... and emailed them out to us within one day so we could post the photos if we wanted to! That was a nice touch, considering the last thing you want to be focused on while you're kayaking is pulling out your phone to capture the memory. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Water Dog Paddle Co. the next time you're on Seabrook or Kiawah Island!

We had a great day on the water this afternoon with Ryan. He is clearly passionate and…read moreknowledgable about the area and the sport. He made it super fun for all ages. We were paddle-boarding through the marshes along pathways that would barely have fit a kayak. He made an effort to point out unusual bird nests and great facts about the area and wildlife. We all really enjoyed our guide's cheerful conversation and relaxed way of engaging the group - and he took lots of fun photos we are eager to see tomorrow! Beautiful way to spend an afternoon in the area.
