Charleston Paddleboard CO., Charleston

During Charleston Paddleboard's wildlife tour—the company's most popular SUP tour—you're liable to cross paths with any number of local creatures, including dolphins, pelicans, and turtles. It might be your first time running into such critters, but not the company's guides: they grew up on Charleston's waterways, so they know them better than just about anyone. Their knowledge shines through during the company's various tours, of course, but it's also apparent during an array of other offerings, including standard SUP lessons and even SUP surfing lessons.
