Page Island Tour - Captain Pipi was the best! Very knowledgeable and engaging. Even got to catch some dolphins at play. Kayaking around page island is always a treat of wildlife.

Excellent Way to Spend a Day on HHI!! - I participated in this water boat/kayak adventure as part of the Women’s Association of Hilton Head Island (WAHII) “On the Water” interest group. We did a kayak tour of Page Island. It was a glorious day surrounded by lovely nature, beautiful water and like-minded women…all looking to spend a Saturday meeting new friends and learning interesting facts about this wonderful place we live. Pippi Itkor was the captain of the boat I was on. She was not only fun and FUNNY, but she was exceptional at her craft….multi-tasking at its finest. Her knowledge of the ecosystem - and all things barrier island specific- was top notch. I learned a lot, got some (quite a lot) of exercise, and came home happier than expected! Her co-captain Grant (different boat) was an excellent guide on the kayak portion I experienced with him. All-around applause for the entire Outside team. I will return again! **This tour started at 10 am and went until approx. 2:30 pm.

Great time kayaking! - I am new to HHI and wanted to do something fun. I went solo to The Outback excursion and it was great! Captain Sebastian was so knowledgeable, funny and safe! We saw dolphins, went kayaking and saw the lighthouse. For someone who doesn't go to the gym and is of a certain age, I was able to do everything and had a great time!

Extended family - our ‘annual’ Outside HH adventure! - We chose 4 hours to give everyone ample time for the activity of choice (water ski, knee board, tubing) - 4 participants.

Fantastic Tour With Captain Sebastian--Good for Adults & Teens - Four adults (ages 45-51) and three teens (ages 15-18) booked this tour because we wanted a "longer" adventure than "simply" kayaking. Even though we did not request a private tour, it kind of felt that way since there were seven of us and only another party of two--who were very friendly. Per the website, we did pack a few sandwiches and granola bars and brought our own water. However, there was a large cooler stocked with plenty of cold, bottled water for us on the boat. We were grateful to have brought a little bit of food because we did get a little hungry being in the sun so long and starting early in the morning. So definitely pack a snack. The first 45 min - 1 hour was a boat ride to Page Island. This consisted of long periods in scenic no wake zones, as well as times when we experienced bumps "like a washing machine" while going through the channel. Captain Sebastian said that is what the channel sometimes can feel like, and he was not wrong. We were a little shocked at how bumpy the ride was, but it really was only like this for a 10-min stint. We all were laughing, but I could see some people/small kids being nervous about the speed/bumps. However, Sebastian, an experienced boat captain (with Navy experience), was in complete control and told us when speeds would pick up and slow down and to prepare (take off hats, hold on tight, etc.). We NEVER felt nervous with him at the helm. Captain Sebastian told us all sorts of stories about homes and sights along the way. He knew so much and really seemed to love his job and being on the water. Once we arrived at Page Island, we got off at a dock and went to an open area with a bathroom. Note that the dock ramp can be extremely steep and rises and falls with the tide. Here, we could use the restroom and grab a bite to eat before boarding our kayaks. (For an island, the bathrooms were amazingly clean.) We were able to decide at this time whether we wanted a single or double kayak. Once we were all in our boats, Sebastian gave a quick lesson on steering. From there, we went off and explored as a group. We saw lots of different birds and a few dolphin pods who followed us and even swam under and played around one of our family members kayaks. They were so cool to see up close. Sebastian told us all about the rising tides and other interesting facts about the marshland. One thing he pointed out was that the water that looks like it is "boiling" was shrimp swimming around. At the start of the trip, he said they may jump into our kayak and not to freak out. I thought this was a joke, but it happened to me and one other group member. It surprised me, but I only mildly freaked out. He just instructed us to pick it up and throw it back in the water. That was pretty startling, but very cool too! We kayaked for about an hour, and then went back to Page Island. Then, we got on the boat to head back to the docks. The ride back was not anywhere near as bumpy as the ride there. Not sure why? The weather was calm in the morning and afternoon. I would really recommend this trip for a long adventure. You do need to be able to get in and out of your kayak, as well as the climb in and out of the boat. Captain Sebastian was helpful with a hand if we needed assistance, but I feel like you need to be fairly able bodied to do this activity. It is also hot (duh...you are in the sun with no shade), so keeping up with water and a bite to eat is essential. Great trip! Would do again. The only thing that I would change is that I wanted more time on the kayak. :)
