Kayak Hilton Head Waters

Explore Hilton Head's natural wonders from a kayak on Hilton Head. Born and bred in the Lowcountry, we’re a family-owned and operated business committed to sharing the beauty of our coastal home with you.

This year Salt Marsh Paddle Tours celebrates 10 years serving Lowcountry visitors and our local friends. Our connection to the water runs deep as our business continues with the same traditions it was founded upon, a profound respect for our aquatic surroundings.

Whether paddling through serene waterways or marveling at the marine life that graces our path — each encounter with a playful dolphin reaffirms our love for this place we call home.

We are immensely grateful to be part of the laid-back and welcoming Lowcountry community, and we owe a debt of gratitude to our extensive network of family and friends. Their unwavering support fuels our passion and drives our mission to provide unparalleled experiences on the water. Join us on an adventure, and let’s create memories that will last a lifetime.
