Be sure to bring any personal emergency medications, such as for allergies, that you may require. Leave valuables that you do not want to risk dropping into the water locked up in your car or at home.

WHAT TO WEAR

Brimmed hat, cap, or sunvisor and footwear that you do not mind getting wet (sneakers, sandals, surf slippers). You may want to be prepared to swim in warmer months. If cooler Weather in the morning, then dress in layers since it can warm up rapidly during the day. If cold and windy, gloves and a windbreaker are a good idea.

RESERVATIONS

Reservations are required for guided kayak tours at least a day in advance so we can plan for equipment and personnel utilization. During the summer, tours often fill up. So as soon as you are ready to make a commitment, please call the store 9:00am-5:30pm Monday through Saturday at (843) 546-4840 or fill out a tour reservation request form and we will call you to complete your reservation. A Visa or MasterCard is required to hold your reservation, otherwise prepayment by cash or check is accepted. On the day of the tour you can present your Visa or MasterCard for processing, or pay with cash or check.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Your cancellation must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged. We plan for the number of guides and boats needed based on advance reservations and may turn away people if the tour fills up. Please do not sign up members of your party if you do not think that they will attend. We may cancel tours at our discretion with no charge to you in the event of bad weather or other circumstances. Special cancellation policies apply to private groups. Call for details.
