🌊 What Makes a J & L Kayaking Tour Different
For us, it’s never been about being the biggest — it’s about doing things the right way — every trip, everytime.

We don’t just guide tours — We tell a story by sharing a world we’ve spent nearly two decades exploring, studying, and loving — side by side.

🏆 Here’s what we bring to the North Myrtle Beach waters that you won’t find anywhere else or with anyone else:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐REPUTATION — With 2,400+ combined Google and TripAdvisor reviews, both holding a 5‑star rating, our guests consistently recognize the quality, professionalism, and heart we bring to every tour.

🛶 Longest‑active guides in the area — We’ve been guiding since 2009 and are still leading the tour ourselves. No rotating seasonal guides. Just us, committed year after year.

🚤 Top‑shelf kayaks & gear — We don’t use “house” boats that are "good enough". We invest in premium "top-shelf" equipment because your experience deserves the best.

🎓 The Only ACA‑Certified kayak instructors on the water — Real coaching, real technique, and real confidence for every paddler.

🌿 Deep knowledge of the ecosystem & history — Built through thousands of guest questions, constant self‑education, observation, and a genuine love for this place.

💪 Guides who are actual full time year-round kayakers — This isn’t a summer job. It’s our craft, our lifestyle, and our passion.

❤️ A husband‑and‑wife team for 17+ years — Consistency, chemistry, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.

🇺🇸 Proudly veteran‑owned — Service, integrity, and professionalism shape everything we do.

🦺 Safety is non‑negotiable — We carry all proper safety equipment and maintain nationally recognized rescue and safety training year‑round.

If you want a tour led by people who live this life, love this place, and take your experience personally — we’d be honored to paddle with you. 🌅🛶

We got to witness this Diamondback terrapin heading back to the water. These are our only Saltwater marsh turtle with feet not flippers! They are uniquely adapted to the environment and bring new meaning to salt-life! Learn more about them and other sea life on our uniquely developed highly educational kayak adventures!

🌿 If our April schedule has looked a little empty… there’s a good reason! 😄

This spring, J & L Kayaking has been off on a string of private, multi‑day adventures — exploring South Carolina from quiet lakes to hidden swamps to the heart of the Lowcountry in Beaufort. It’s been an incredible month of custom trips built around our guests’ interests, pace, and sense of adventure.

And here’s the fun part…
✨ You can book your own private adventure with us too!
We customize every detail — locations, timing, difficulty, wildlife focus, photography, you name it.

Don’t worry, though — our regular Cherry Grove day trips will be back in full swing in just a couple of weeks. Get ready to join the leaders and original kayak adventure crew of Cherry Grove for an unforgettable spring on the water.
