Paddle Folly River’s marshes, creeks, and tidal flats with a local guide, then explore Folly Beach’s Center Street.
About this tour
Trade the shoreline for the quiet waterways of the Lowcountry on a Charleston stand-up paddleboard tour. From your board, Folly River opens onto broad marshes, winding creeks, and tidal flats where coastal wildlife thrives.
Meet your local guide at Folly Beach Boat Landing, where you’ll get your paddleboard and safety gear along with pre-paddle instruction. Then follow a tide-timed route across the river at a guided pace. Along the way, hear about the area’s wildlife, ecosystems, and local character while taking in a landscape best experienced from the water. The 90-minute outing offers an active way to explore, with conditions and effort varying with the tide and wind. Your guide can also capture free photos to remember the trip.
After your Charleston stand-up paddleboard tour, Folly Beach’s Center Street shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet, and bring water, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Book your paddle and discover the marsh from a fresh perspective.

How the score works and rating distribution in Folly Beach
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
