Adventure Kayaking = An exciting and unusual experience in a unique environment.
Ever wonder what it would be like to travel one of those blue lines you see on your
map instead of being stuck in all that traffic on the roads?
Wonder no more, come join us as we explore South Carolina’s Santee Cooper
Country. We are located just minutes north of Moncks Corner, South Carolina near
Lake Moultrie in Bonneau Beach, SC. Blueway Adventures offers paddling tours,
camping expeditions, wildlife photo sessions, guided fishing and kayak instruction.
We provide kayaks from Wilderness Systems, Dagger, and Perception lines and
carbon shaft paddles from Werner Paddles and PFD’s from Extrasport. If paddling
at night,say a full moon paddle, we provide head lamps.

Our guided tours are conducted by an ACA (American Canoe Association) certified
instructor who also has Wilderness First Aid certification.
With over 6 years experience guiding tours in the Low Country and a lifetime
of outdoors experience to offer we promise a safe and exciting trip. The area is
rich in history and wildlife so we are sure you can find some adventure we can help
you with. Bring your camera, sense of adventure, water shoes, bottled water, sun
screen, and big floppy hat. If we need bug spray I’ll bring it.
Trips on the lakes may include a break on a sandy beach were you can swim or
lay back and relax. Maybe we will start in the lake and travel through the Pinopolis
Locks to the Tail Race then paddle to a local restaurant for lunch. Trips on the
rivers and creeks may include stops at historic sites. You may see Indian pottery or
arrowheads laying along the shore of an island or find a meglodon shark tooth on
the bottom of a creek.
Lakes Moultrie and Marion were created in 1942 with the help of the Civilian
Conservation Corp. Lake Moultrie at 60,400 acres and Lake Marion at 110,600 acres
contain flooded towns, farms, and forests. With the Congaree and Wateree Rivers
feeding in from the west and a six and a half mile canal connecting the two lakes we
have 100’ s of miles of shoreline to explore.
Wadboo Creek, just outside Moncks Corner, SC is where the rice culture
started in the south. The Santee River winds it’s way for over sixty miles to the
ocean, we can paddle many sections seeing Wild Hogs, Swallow Tail Kites, White
Tail Deer, and Wild Turkeys. Huger and Quimby Creeks takes us into abandon rice
fields with Alligators, Great Blue Herons, Wild Rice, and many kinds of wading
birds.
If you have more time and don’t mind the drive there is Sparkleberry Swamp
at the far western end of Lake Marion. Sparkleberry Swamp is 16,000 acres of
bald and tupelo cypress trees standing in three to four feet of water. It is one of
the most diverse and beautiful places the area has to offer. A perfect place to
paddle.
