Amelia Island Guided Kayak Tour of Lofton Creek

Overview

The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is perfect for paddlers of any level, including children and beginners. It’s an intimate nature experience in which participants can expect to get up close and personal with turtles, alligators, snakes, otters, and occasionally, manatees. The terrestrial nature of the forest attracts pileated woodpeckers, red shoulder hawks, and the curious anhinga, sometimes referred to as the “water turkey.” The protected makeup of Lofton Creek means paddling here is “weather resistant” to tumultuous coastal conditions. A south-bound paddle on Lofton Creek provides picturesque marsh views, whereas a north-bound paddle is a more remote, forested experience. The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is a guaranteed good time for everyone in your group!

Great experience all around. We called first thing in the morning to assess availability and they were able to squeeze us into an early morning kayak on Lofton creek, which was our preference. We appreciated them being flexible and helping us out, as we were a bit last minute. The instructors / guides were very friendly and personable and provided information about the ecosystem and wildlife, as well as good conversation throughout, including recommendations for good food and other activities in the area. The photos provided afterwards were a pleasant surprise. All in all - it was a great way to start our day and we would recommend this activity to others.

My 13 year old daughter and I took my husband on the Cumberland Island Kayak Tour for Father's Day this last weekend and had such a blast!! In full disclosure, it was my daughter's first time kayaking and I didnt know that the paddle across would be as long as it was (completely my fault!) but Jeff and Stacy did a wonderful job of teaching her prior to departure and guiding and encouraging her along the way. She had a VERY good night's sleep and has already asked when we can go kayaking again! There were other kids around the same age in our group who did great as well, so if you are thinking of booking this as a family activity, I would definitely recommend. Moreover, Stacy and Jeff we wonderful guides and pointed out every detail along the way and were very well versed in both Amelia and Cumberland Island history. Cumberland itself was beautiful and we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the beach. I have been on a few other excursions with other companies but this has by far been the best experience. Not only will we book with them again, we will highly recommend them to all of our family and friends!

We loved the tour and Catherine (owner and Guide) was awesome. We are a family of 6 and all of us enjoyed it. My youngest (10 and 11) were able to be in tandem 2-person kayaks so that was perfect for them. Great sights, relaxing paddle. Catherine took pictures for our family and was very knowledgeable about different reptile species and flowers we saw along the way. We would highly recommend and even booked another tour with them this week.
