Fantastic - Relaxing trip down the creek. CJ, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the area and the local flora and fauna. He was a great photographer also, lol! Bonus, he steered us away from all of the gators!

Beautiful and beginner-friendly - Had a great time paddling down this lazy waterway and noticing all the nature around us. Our guide made sure to point out the yellow-bellied turtles and baby gator (!) and shared fun facts about the ecosystem. It seems if you come in spring it could be extra magical with blooming wisteria. It was a little windy on the way back but definitely still doable. It's such a nice bonus that you get the photos from the tour sent to you afterwards.

Serene Kayak ride on calm river in Amelia Island - Easy, picturesque and highly enjoyable! Our guide had been kayaking his whole life and quickly adjusted for beginners to more advanced. Lots of knowledgeable nature and native animal tidbits as you stroll down the river. Do you know where the saying “money grows on trees” is from? I do now, after this ride!
