Charleston Stand-Up Paddleboard Eco Tour
This 2-hour introductory paddle on the Edge of America will get you into the basics of SUP, all in the calm flatwater of the Folly River. All safaris begin with "ground school" or SUP instructions with your Lifeguard Certified Instructors. We'll explore alongside the numerous beautiful native birds and bottlenose dolphins. We'll go with the flow, following the tides and wind direction for a great beginning paddle. At low tide we visit a private beach and go for a swim!
Group photo is taken at the end of the tour, which will be posted on our social media pages.
Level: Beginners to Advanced. Ages 8 and Up
