Word on the street
What locals are saying
Ryan Kennedy, a Seabrook Island native, has built Water Dog Paddle Co. into the definitive paddle operation for the Kiawah-Seabrook corridor — guiding groups through the salt marsh estuary with a low-country ecology fluency that separates it from a generic rental shop. The two-hour guided tours, whether dolphin-focused at dawn or sunset paddles at Bohicket Creek, run multi-guide with complimentary photo albums included; the Trophy Lakes freshwater outpost doubles as a calm, controlled learning ground for young kids. The one consistent gripe: after large group tours, the heavy gear haul back up the bridge falls hard on a small guide crew when guests don't pitch in.
