Savannah Canoe & Kayak - 'From our guided trip out to Wassaw Island with Brian and Savannah Canoe and Kayak - Tours Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I have been paddling for many years and this is one of the best shops I've ever been to. When I bought my boyfriend, an inflatable SUV and we had issues with it Nigel immediately offered to refund our money. He's honest and backs up his products. And he gave us incredible information about where to paddle around Savannah. He's just one of those great guys that loves what he does and just wants to help people. So much better than ordering something off Amazon or Costco. And he and his staff are a wonderful resource about where to paddle and when around Savannah. Just the best! read more

We went on the Ebenezer Creek kayaking tour. Our guide was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We were able to get a tandem kayak, so I did not have to worry about my mother getting tired. This was an easy going, good for beginners, trip. I really enjoyed going through the creek area with all of the beautiful trees. So much nicer than I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family. read more

This is a fun and unique activity to add to your Savannah itinerary. We booked the Little Tybee paddle the day before (you have to book over the phone) and the person we talked to was very informative and told us everything we needed to know prior to paddling. Our paddle was at noon on a Thursday -- we lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous fall day. We had zero issues parking and our group was small -- it was just four of us with our guide Cassandra who is very knowledgable and pleasant! She did a great job going over kayaking best practices, telling us about the history of the area, identifying birds, and locating starfish. We saw a bald eagle which was a first for me! And the time exploring on Little Tybee was very cool. If I had an additional day I would've loved to do another tour! read more

We recently ordered a Yakima Exo setup for our RV through Savannah Canoe & Kayak and couldn't be more pleased with the sales and service. Nigel was kind enough to install the system for us, which was great, since the components are heavy and assembly isn't intuitively obvious. read more

If you have even 1 adventurous bone in your body this is a MUST DO activity when you are in Savannah or visiting Tybee island. We went on the kayak trip in the am from 10am - 1 pm with Josh on a Tuesday. We ended up being the only ones and if left like more of a private tour. He gave us instructions on kayaking first and we felt very safe with him. We started in alley 3, and went out during he low tide, saw some beautiful dolphins right in front of us (truly amazing experience). We stopped at this sand bar that arises during low tide and walked for a good 40 + minutes and learned a lot about the wildlife around the area. What a relaxing/therapeutic way to start the morning. It also teaches you how to communicate with your partner when you are on the tandem and reminds you of the BEAUTY of LIFE. I believe this was the highlight of our trip and we highly highly recommend booking with the company. If we are in the area we will 100% be doing this again. read more

I highly recommend this tour company . Have used them multiple times. The guides were knowledgeable about history and ecology of the Ebineezer Creek. This is one unique creek with massive cypress and Tupelo trees. Crazy cool . One of a kind in the US. This company offers other locations such as Little Tybee Island, and well that is another awesome place. read more

We went on a 3 hr kayak tour to Little Tybee Island and it was great! Aaron and Rafael were excellent-- good teachers to us beginners-- patient, and kept us safe in the tide and surf. Aaron is a knowledgeable guide- teaching about the birds, marsh grasses and pointing out eagles and a big nest. We had a strong upper body workout too! Highly recommend. read more

While planning our Low Country trip, we wanted to do something unique, exciting and fun... Since we drive over bridges that run through swamps and marshes and have never explored a swap, kayaking an historic swampy creek really appealed to us. Using social media reviews (like the one you're reading here) we saw all the positive things people had to say about Savannah Canoe and Kayak, so I called and booked them. Emme and Liz were our guides and they were VERY helpful and knowledgeable about kayaking, the creatures we'd see/saw in the swamp, the trees, the area, etc.  We felt safe kayaking the creek with them and they sincerely cared about providing excellent service. The ride did last pretty much the entire 3 hours we signed up for, so plan on using the restroom before getting in the kayak (at Ebenezer creek, there's actually toilets there) and be sure to bring water, bug spray, sunscreen and wear a hat.  Also, you should wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet.  We didn't get our feet wet at all, but it's rare that happens. We did see plenty of huge turtles, interesting birds and an alligator.  We learned about the trees and saw plenty of very interesting trees, including one we could kayak through the center of. I highly recommend this tour!! read more

Just wrapped up a 3hr guided float through Ebenezer Creek. This was highly recommended by their office staff when contacted. Didn't disappoint. Amazing sight seeing and time on the water. Guides were very friendly and affluent with history of the area. They took the time to help my kids with concerns (1st timers in kayaks). Will definitely recommend and return one day. read more

We did a 3 hour SUP tour of the Skidaway Narrows. Our tour guide, Cassandra, was awesome! She started us off with a stretch, a SUP lesson, and then we were off. Cassandra obviously loves the area and takes great care to teach about and care for the land (and sea and everything in between). We learned so much about the history and ecosystem of Savannah. Cassandra showed us the beauty and importance of the marshes. She took pictures, gave us breaks as needed (by my rather inactive teen), and made recommendations for activities and dining afterwards. Well worth the cost, would definitely do again! read more

We did the Little Tybee Low Tide trip. We saw dolphins very close up and the island itself was so beautiful and isolated. We went on a weds during the summer. Our guide Anais was great! Very accommodating and knowledgeable, she obviously loves the area and is enthusiastic about sharing her respect and enjoyment. The dolphins were really amazing, the trip was so special and peaceful! read more

Cassandra was our tour guide and she was incredible. The tour is absolutely gorgeous/magical. A dream come true. We even saw wildlife along the way. Thank you Cassandra! read more

Highly recommend this company. We went on the 3 hour little Tybee trip. Saw lots of birds (including a clapper rail!) dolphins, and even came across a beached loggerhead turtle. Our guide clearly knew what he was talking about and reached out to people that could come escort her back to the safety of the ocean after getting stranded during low tide. Both of our guides frequently checked in to make sure we were comfortable in our kayaks. Definitely a great way to explore the area! read more

What a great paddle to Little Tybee Island on Thursday March 25th 2021. Our guide, Matt, was obviously an experienced guide and especially good at making all the guests feel at ease. Our paddle started with the end of low tide. We had an easy paddle out to Little Tybee and the bone yard. On the way, we saw a couple dolphins waiting for the tide to change. They seemed to be "napping" based on their gentle surfacings. As we approached Lil Tybee we saw both parental Bald Eagles return to their nest followed by the launching of two of their fledglings. Quite amazing. After arriving at Little Tybee and observing the Bald Eagle nest via binoculars, we continued to the boneyard where we meandered about tide pools and a wonderful beach of driftwood. On the way home, an unexpected fog bank rolled in on our return paddle but with Matt as our guide we were able to ride the incoming flood tide back to our launch beach with minimal paddling effort. All in all a tremendous, peaceful, vacation-ending-worthy paddle. Everyone should be so lucky on their vacation to Savannah/Tybee. Cheers, Chris gentle slack tide on the paddle out. read more

If there is even a question, go ahead and reserve with them. From the time I called to make the reservation to the actual tour. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Our guides were Cass and Chelsea. They were very knowledgeable and met us where we were at with our previous knowledge. We did the bee tour and I would do it over and over again. Highly recommend these folks and this tour. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I highly recommend tours with Savannah Canoe & Kayak! We went on two tours over July 4th weekend: the sunset kayak trip on the Skidaway Narrows and a SUP tour on Ebenezer Creek. For both, our tour guide was Emma, who was amazing! She is incredibly informative and knowledgeable on local history, flora and fauna; super nice and funny; and very understanding of and patient with newbies to paddlesports. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking on both trips, the equipment was great quality, and the customer service was wonderful. A truly can't-miss experience when visiting Savannah! read more

Aaron was an amazing guide - highly recommend!! Company seems organized and safety conscious as well.

My bff and I had a super-fun time thanks in large part to our excellent guide, Steve. He was not one of those loud-mouthed theme park kind of guides that ruin the nature by being goofy and telling wildlife anecdotes. And he wasn't one of those students-with-a-summer-job types reciting stuff everybody knows like, "The marsh is an important part of our ecosystem." Nope, our guide tried to teach my bff and I the math of calculating travel time with the tides. He also indulged my competitive streak by refereeing a quick race in our small group -- and gave me some pointers since I totally lost. When I got a blister from rowing, he had some fingerless gloves I could use! He even laughed when I said to my friend "I wish we had blades on our oars so we could play Mortal Kayak and cut each other's heads off!" And he kindly listened as my friend blabbed on, practically telling her life story. It was also my first time using a foot controlled rudder, and I really liked it. read more

Excellent tour for anyone wanting to experience Savannah's barrier islands and its amazing tidal environment. We went as a couple, with a tandem kayak, on a three-hour tour that was casual, relaxing, educational and beautiful. As beginner kayakers we felt safe and at ease. Our tour guides were excellent and gave us insights into the tidal waters eco-system and how barrier islands provide protection of the coast. We started at Tybee Island, with a low tide, and headed toward Little Tybee, which is anything but little. On the way we were fortunate to see a pair of dolphins, a mother and child. We also saw oyster beds and learned how important they are, numerous bird species, including a eddish egret doing a funny dance, and an eagle's nest. Our first stop was a sandbar that is exposed at low tide, where we explored and swam in the fresh salty waters. After about 30 minutes, we headed to Little Tybee and its tree boneyard, which provided a dramatic contrast to the open waters and blue sky. We spent about 30 minutes on the island, exploring like kids on a secret island. Our return trip included another dolphin sighting, and a casual ride. All the while our guides provided insights and information on the waters, grass environment, tides and history of the area. Thankfully Little Tybee has not been developed, it is a treasure of nature just as it is. If you want to get away from it all for a few hours, be informed and inspired, we can't think of a better way. We truly enjoyed every minute of this tour, and our slightly sore arms are more than worth it. read more

Josh was our guide on our Ebaneezer creek tour. He did a great job, starting with some basic tips and a short kayaking lesson. We started off slowly drifting down the beautiful tributary, learning facts and history about the area and wildlife along the way. Eventually, we were traversing through the groves of magnificent Tupelo trees. What fun that was. We had a pretty diverse group, ranging from a college freshman to an old man (me). I think I did slow us down a bit, but no one complained. We saw a Turtle and a gator and the college Kid screamed like baby when a frog jumped on him. A zillion little caterpillars tried to overtake us but we managed to fight them off. Josh was amazingly knowledgable, patient, and kind. I highly recommend this tour. read more

I was expecting more. All we did was kayak for 3 hours in open water. Rather boring. Guide was great.

Great shop! I went to their store once (when it ended up flooding during a thunderstorm). So we ended up staying for a while because people with me didn't want to run back to the car in the rain. It was a nice place to be stuck for someone like me who is into kayaking. Lots of cool books/boats/etc to check out. If you want a surf or sea kayak this is the place. They are the only dealer I have been able to find for Mega surf kayaks in the US. When you are getting into a niche sport like surf kayaking you need to talk to someone who knows the gear- and these guys do . Super nice people and a great selection of equipment. Even if you just need a pair of sandals or a life jacket I would check it out. read more

We scheduled the tour of Ebenezer Creek and it was a phenomenal experience! Our tour guide, Cassandra, was delightful, helpful and knowledgeable. We had some last minute changes to our group and the tour company accommodated very graciously. The creek was beautiful and definitely worth the short trip from Savannah. The kayaking was very relaxing; the activity was not strenuous at all. My mother and aunt (both grandmas) were able to keep up and had a great time. Highly recommend this company and the Ebenezer Creek tour. read more

These guys are great. We did the Little Tybee tour on a Saturday. Nick and Cassandra were super helpful guides. They provided all the equipment at the designated meeting spot, gave us a quick class on how to kayak, and we were off and in the water. We went together out to Little Tybee, explored the island for a bit, and kayaked back. It was a three hour trip for $65 per person. Includes all the gear. We even saw dolphins. Highly recommend for beginners to experts. read more

Every once in awhile if we are lucky we meet people that make the world a better place. Meet Nigel and Kristen Law, they are 2 of those people. I met them several years ago when my wife and I moved to Wilmington Island and wanted to enjoy the marshes and rivers around Savannah. Nigel and Kristen were our answer and since meeting them we have bought numerous kayaks from them and enjoyed the lifestyle immensely. Their store is packed with product , boats, vests any and everything needed. They will set up demos of several boats to make buying easier and then take you on guided tours through the low country. They have an amazing staff with varied skills that cover , kayak fishing, kayak surfing and fitness paddle. You will not go wrong trusting these very profession and kind folks read more

We booked guides for two days of personalized kayak instruction and touring and developed a rich relationship with these folks that I'm sure will last many years! We weren't just customers to them; we were treated like good friends and the overall experience was superb. As others have said, Nigel and Kristen are very special people, and our guides Matt and Mayme got us really excited about this sport and the Georgia golden isles. We are new to kayaking, and Matt and Mayme provided just the perfect mix of instruction and touring to make this a productive and memorable weekend. Everyone we met at SC&K was friendly and professional and we are eager to return soon! The shop has a number of new and pre-owned kayaks and canoes as well as a large assortment of clothing and accessories. Very, very highly recommended! read more

We had a wonderful time during the three-hour, Little Tybee trip a few weeks ago. Our guide was awesome and while I struggled with the foot rudder most of the time (my own lack of coordination), it felt awesome to be on the water, and see the ecological changes around us. The best part of the tour? Exploring Little Tybee barefoot, and feeling the wonderfully warm water on my feet. Great company. $55 a person for three-hours that you'll never forget? Heck yes! read more

Excellent SUP with Emma as my guide on the Skidaway Narrows tour. I had booked in advance and showed up a few minutes early. Emma was waiting with the boards and ready to go. She had a dry bag and kept my keys and phone so I wouldn't have to worry about getting them wet. I was the only person paddling that day and am an experienced paddler, but she treated me just like any other tour, pointing out wildlife and telling me about the environment, plants, birds, etc. We took a few breaks for water along the way. We saw egrets, herons, dolphins, blue crab, and a bald eagle. I enjoyed paddling through the marsh grasses. Not something that I get to do at home. read more
