KAYAK TOURS
Kayak Tours
We have kayak tours for everyone! There is no experience required for any of our tours. Each tour begins with basic kayak and paddling instructions by one of our experienced guides. Our kayak tours are fun activities for individuals, couples, friends or large groups. We can take groups up to 20 people; schedule and availability varies by season. Fill out the ‘Reservation Request’ form by clicking “Book Now” below and we can schedule a time for you based on our availability!
Marsh Kayak Tour
The 2-hour Marsh Tour is a guided paddle following the shoreline for a mile before turning into the slow-flowing waters of Privateer Creek. This is the least strenuous trip we offer. The trip starts and ends at the beach or at our private dock in the salt marsh. Dolphins and shorebirds are often spotted. This is a relaxing trip, flowing with the tidal creek, so the trip is adjusted based upon tides. The tour can be booked during the day or at sunset.
Deveaux Bank Bird and Kayak Tour
This trip is a three-hour guided kayak tour to Deveaux Bank, located across from St. Christopher. The trip begins on the beach at St. Christopher before crossing the North Edisto Estuary and landing on the northern tip of Deveaux Bank, home to thousands of nesting, breeding, and migrating seabirds. It is the largest seabird nesting area north of Florida and stays protected throughout the year. However, between October 15 and March 15, areas below the high tide line are open to the public where you can observe and identify thousands of sea birds.
This is an annual trip that usually occurs in either October or November when Deveaux Bank opens and conditions allow. The 2025 trip will be on Saturday, November 1, start time pending. Registration will open on October 1. Spots are limited on a first-come, first-serve basis once registration opens. The cost is $75 per person. Binoculars provided.
Please contact Tyler Harris, Assistant Director of Barrier Island, at tharris@stchristopher.org if you have any questions. We look forward to exploring Deveaux with you!
Botany Shelling and Kayak Tour
This trip is a three-hour guided kayak tour to Botany Bay Island, across from Seabrook Island. The kayak tour begins on the beach of St. Christopher before landing on the closest shore of Botany. This secluded beach is a hidden gem in the Lowcountry. So much of the beach remains undisturbed, with sea shells and other marine life littering the seashore, come discover a world of seashells and learn to identify what you see!
