06. Kayaking
With a sturdy, unsinkable Kayak you have the choice to experience the wildlife and relaxation of the marsh, creeks, and rivers of the South Carolina Lowcountry, or get your blood pumping with the adrenaline-filled rush of navigating the breakers in the ocean surf.
No longer the unstable little watercrafts barely evolved from Pacific Islanders, most modern Kayaks are designed for the riders to sit on top, instead of inside. Even if you do fall off (and you probably will) they’re easy to re-board.
Whether part of a self-guided tour with a camera and a cooler, or a guided wildlife excursion, Kayaking in Myrtle Beach is a great activity — both on inland waterways and out on the ocean.
Affordable to rent, and easy for beginners to learn, Kayaks have become the only way to enjoy the water for so many, young and old alike.
Located at the Crazy Sisters Marina on the fabulous Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk, the staff and captains at Blue Wave Adventures are the experts in Dolphin Watches for small groups. Open seven days per week (March – November), enjoy riding aboard the 30-foot Osprey with a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain, who knows how to safely guide you to where the dolphins play.
