Your Outback adventure begins at Shelter Cove Marina, where you will meet your Captain, who is also an Interpretive Naturalist Guide and will be with you throughout the experience. You will then take a scenic boat excursion through the backcountry creeks and rivers near Hilton Head, stopping for dolphins and other wildlife along the way. Our destination is Outside Hilton Head’s private island, called Page Island. This remote location is only accessible by boat, and is most often compared to the set of a ‘Survivor’ show, the perfect outpost to begin this distinctive kayak tour. After briefly exploring the island, your guide will lead a paddling clinic to get everyone up to speed. Then your guide will launch you in your kayak from our state-of-the-art kayak launch dock. Both single and double kayaks are available, and all boats are safe and comfortable.
