Shem Creek Kayak Tour with Dolphins

A guided paddle through the marsh with dolphins, pelicans and shrimp boats. No experience needed.

Why it works

It's the morning-after reset: fresh air, easy paddling and a good shot at seeing dolphins up close. Coastal Expeditions launches from a quiet bend of Shem Creek away from the restaurants, with its own parking and bathrooms. Guides handle the gear and a quick lesson, so first-timers are fine. Paddle in the morning, then walk over for lunch on the creek. For more to plan around it, see our full list of Charleston bachelorette activities.
