Tidalwave Watersports

My boyfriend and I took a trip to Charleston last summer before school started back. We decided to go parasailing, much to my chagrin. Although I’m not much of a thrill enthusiast, Tidalwave delivered an awesome and fun filled time. Austin assured my that we couldn’t visit Charleston without seeing it from a height of 800 feet, so I followed him to Tidalwave with a heavy heart.
With our GoPro in hand we signed our waivers and got on the boat. This boat was beautiful, and wonderfully designed to comfortably fit the group that we had. The seats were comfortable and padded, and the speaker system was really spectacular. There were also really convenient storage areas for our belongings. Although the boat ride could be considered a little long, the tour guide and boat driver delivered a fun atmosphere. They played awesome music and pointed out all of the awesome landmarks we passed, including the Ravenelle Bridge and a house that had been put on the market for over 3 million dollars. They made it easy for me to forget my fear and just enjoy the ride.
The parasailing aid was a really great guy who was easy to talk to. He made it a point to make us all feel welcome and excited to be there. He was extremely helpful and quick when it came to putting on our harnesses for the parasailing, and very precise with the instructions for the ride up into the air. Although there were a lot of safety instructions to follow, he made it seem easy. Between Austin and the guide, I was excited for my first parasailing adventure.
Through the spirit of hospitality, the Tidalwave employees showed us a new side to Charleston. Although I have been to this coastal city many times, I have never experienced Charleston the way I did that day. Parasailing was a very scary and new concept to me, but this place made me calm and relaxed and gave me one of the most memorable and romantic moments of my life. I will never forget how small Charleston looked from 800 feet in the sky, and I will never forget how small you feel that high up. Thank you to Tidalwave for delivering a fantastic service to everyone who utilizes their business. They truly give a time to remember, and they were worth every penny.

Awesome trip!!! Went on a 1.5 hour jetskiing safari that was really fun. We started by going to an open area where you could practice jetskiing for about 15 minutes. Our staff member was really nice and helped us learn how to use the jetski. While practicing we got within 10 feet away from a swimming dolphin! That was the first really cool experience of the trip as you could see a real live dolphin up close and personal.
Next we followed a waterway down to an island with no structures or buildings and it was really peaceful. We walked along the beach and I found a sand dollar! It was really calm and pretty. After that, we just drove back to the dock. In the end, this was a fun and entertaining experience. I might have to update this review later as I will probably come back soon for a different type of trip

Great staff and great service! We did ski boat, parasailing and jet skis. The whole staff was wonderful! We will be back next year!

I can’t remember a time I had so much fun on jet skis! I don’t remember the name of our guide but he was a really nice guy originally from Seattle! I was so nervous at first but he assured me it was a great time! It was! I have to say from the phone reservation and all the steps that followed I was treated so well! We will definitely be back! Thanks again!
