Our Tours

Georgia has over 100 miles of coast and a third of all the eastern seaboard’s marshes. Only 3 of Georgia’s 15 barrier islands are developed. With 2000 miles of tidal shoreline and remote river lowlands, the paddling opportunities on our coast are endless. The ambient climate allows for day trips to be planned year-round, while the cooler months (Nov.-April) are best for camping . Click here for our updated Calendar of Trips.

We run our 2 and 3 hour tours daily and year - round!

Brunswick Kayak Tour ( about 2 hours ) $40

Learn the basic skills of sea kayaking while exploring the scenic “Marshes of Glynn.”  Launching from our private dock, this trip is an easy and informative way to discover why kayaking is one of the fastest growing sports today. Discounts for kids’ groups.

2 Hour Full Moon $45 See the moon rise as the sun sets on our monthly  trips.

 St. Simons Kayak Tour ( about 3 hours )$55

Join our experienced local guides as we discover the magic of sea kayaking.  We’ll teach the skills needed to safely enjoy the sport as we watch the abundant wildlife in the marshes and on the beaches of St. Simons and Sea Island.  Anyone can enjoy the stable, expedition quality sea-kayaks used on our trips.  We take a break on a beautiful remote beach for a little birding and shelling.

Half Day Tours $75

 St. Simons Sound Tour

Paddle across St. Simons Sound to Jekyll Island and take a break on Jekyll’s beautiful north end “boneyard” beach.  We’ll catch the tide through the “Marshes of Glynn” arriving at our Brunswick Store. About 4 hours.

Village Creek to Coast Guard (St. Simons) Tour

This trip explores the marsh and rivers between St. Simons and Sea Island before arriving on the beach at the south end of Sea Island.  We can swim, shell, or bird watch before resuming our paddle through Gould’s Inlet, crossing sand bars along the way and landing at Coast Guard beach. About 4 hours.

Cathead Creek Loop

A short tour into the upper part of Cathead Creek near Darien. This tributary of the Altamaha River gives one a sense of the majesty of this mighty river’s floodplain. Narrow rice canals and cypress swamps characterize this trip. An easy way to see this unique ecosystem. About 3 hours.

Day Trips  (lunch included) $90

Altamaha River Day Trip

Spend the day exploring the low country of Georgia’s mightiest river. Listed as one of the Nature Conservancy’s 75 last great places in the world. Typically 4-6 hours of paddling in this remote, wild area.

Satilla River Day Trip

Cruise the beautiful black waters of one of Georgia’s most pristine rivers. Blinding white sandbars grace every bend.  Cypress trees and wildlife abound. This is a mellow river, ideal for families and kids.

Beaches of Little St Simons Island Day Trip

We paddle through Village Creek on St. Simon’s past Little St. Simon’s and the north end of Sea Island to have lunch, and a panoramic view, on the spit. The wide, sandy beach is great for shelling, birding, and enjoying the ocean breezes. 5-6 hours total.

3-Day Cumberland Island $350

Paddle to and camp on the north end of Georgia’s largest barrier island.  After paddling the most sheltered route to Cumberland’s remote north end campsite, we hike winding trails and explore some of the 16 miles of pristine beach for a glimpse of wild horses.  Most definitely the “road” less traveled.

           Sapelo and Blackbeard Islands - prices vary          

We offer daytrips, camping, meals, tours, and lodging in the historic community of Hog Hammock. 2 and 3 day tours with indoor accommodations. We offer kayaking to Blackbeard Island’s untouched beaches from Sapelo. See R.J. Reynold’s mansion, miles of empty beaches, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Georgia. Ask us about your options if you are interested in spending a few days exploring these one-of-a-kind places.

Altamaha River Camping

From a day trip exploring ancient cypress swamps to 5 days traversing diverse ecosystems - the Altamaha has it all! Georgia’s mightiest river, with an exciting history, ecological abundance, and a water flow comparable to that of the Nile.  It serves as a refuge for at least 130 species of rare or endangered plants and animals. A kayak can slip you straight into the heart of this natural paradise.

Lewis Island Overnight $250

This trip incorporates the route of the Altamaha Day Trip into a one night camping trip.  Much more time is available to enjoy the area.  A hike into one of the only remaining stands of virgin tidewater cypress is an option.

3 Days and More

Longer trips enable you to descend the Altamaha all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.  The transition from cypress trees to salt marsh and the ocean is a true wilderness adventure. We camp along the way as the river carries us toward the sea. Let us plan a trip for you.

Satilla River

The Satilla begins in SW Georgia and winds like crazy for 260 miles before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean between Jekyll and Cumberland Islands. The narrow black waters of the upper Satilla provide a serene setting, mild current, and endless sandbars perfect for sleeping under the stars!

Overnight Satilla $250

21 sinuous miles for the entire trip. We usually camp  at a sandbar just downstream from the confluence of the Little Satilla. A great trip for introducing kids to camping in the great outdoors.

Satilla River Lodge

For families and larger groups, the Satilla River Lodge can be used as an excellent base for day trips down the river, and makes  for unique accommodations while visiting the nearby Okefenokee Swamp and Cumberland Island. This is the site of our Women’s Kayaking and Yoga Retreats, as well.

Pelican Spit Overnight $225

Follows the same route as our day trip to the beaches of Little St Simons but allows for more exploration of the surrounding beaches and creeks. Being lulled to sleep by the lapping waves of the Atlantic Ocean  is another fine incentive to spend more time on the Spit.

Custom Trips

  Birding, fishing, photography, educational. Group rates are                                available.   Never hurts to ask.

FISHING CHARTERS!

 Learn to fish from a kayak - beginners welcome! Half-Day fishing includes all equipment and tackle and guide - $200 for one person / $75 each additional

2008 Calendar of Trips

“I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our kayaking trips with you last week. The places you took us to were interesting and the guides were great. We were especially pleased that the guides were so helpful without being condescending. I appreciate the way they managed that. I hope to get back to your beautiful island again soon. If I do I will be looking you up for another tour.” -  Jean Reger

“Thank you for such an educational, interesting, and relaxing tour. My son, David, and I enjoyed the three hour tour. The guide was great also.”  - Mary Melvin

“We had a great trip as always, but this might have been the best kayaking trip we’ve done with Southeast (I think we’ve done 7 now). The group was strong, the weather was great and Cindy did a great job in every way leading the trip. The girls all responded really well to the cooking, camping and paddling. Thanks for putting it all together...” -  Todd Wells - Chattanooga Girls Prep School
