Beaufort Kayak Tours is a guided kayak outfitter based in Rincon, Georgia, offering a range of salt-marsh, creek, and coastal paddles that highlight the Lowcountry’s ecology and cultural history.
The company’s trip roster includes the Ebenezer Creek Paddle (a 2-hour, 4-mile beginner-friendly blackwater creek paddle), multiple Dolphin Ecology Tours (2.5-hour searches for Bottlenose dolphins in salt marshes and inlets), the Beaufort Ecology Tour (2-hour paddles past homes and tidal marshes), and the ACE Basin Tour (2.5-hour exploration of the Combahee River with rice-culture and conservation insights). Other options include the Salt Marsh Ecology Tour (downtown Beaufort paddling with low‑tide exploration, net‑casting, and a sandbar swim), the Hunting Island Sandbar Tour (a 2.5-hour paddle to a secluded sandbar with views of Hunting Island State Park and Fripp Island), oyster-focused outings at the Single Lady Oyster Hatchery with tastings, and private 2.5-hour guided excursions that come with expert guides and all necessary equipment.
Tours emphasize hands-on learning, wildlife viewing, and photography; guests are encouraged to bring cameras, binoculars, and water. Several trips are explicitly suitable for beginners, and the range of trip lengths includes short one-hour hatchery tastings as well as longer two- to two-and-a-half-hour paddles. Beaufort Kayak Tours operates seasonally from the coastal Georgia area and focuses on small-group experiences that combine natural history, cultural context, and hands-on interpretation. Private bookings explicitly note expert guides and included equipment, while public departures list meeting locations, departure times, and booking details through the operator’s reservation system. Tours accommodate families and solo paddlers alike.
