Kayak Tours – Murrells Inlet & Pawleys Island


The salt marshes at Murrells Inlet, SC.

A kayak tour of Murrells Inlet is a great way to experience the nature and wildlife of the area’s beautiful saltmarsh landscape. Paddling through winding creeks in a kayak, much further into the marshes than you could get in a boat, offers an active, intimate way to experience of the ecosystem and its wildlife.

Sunset kayak tours, or tours at sunrise or by moonlight, are also often available.
