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!

It was a perfect Sunday morning for mom & me with our guide Catherine. Calm/peaceful river, 2hrs/3 miles paddle, a good insights to Lofton Creek & surrounding area, and a great bonding time for us... Mom has never been on a kayak before & I had minimum experience. Catherine was kind enough to paddle with mom. I just tried to keep up for the first 10 minutes. After that, it was almost a Zen moment on the black creek. No bugs, light breeze, early morning cooler weather... We will be ready to go back or take on a more challenging course.

I had a great time with Thomas kayaking on Lofton Creek. Thomas explained some interesting things about the creek, how it changes with the tides and why mosquitoes don't breed here ( a nice plus!) It was a nice way to get some exercise and an introduction to the area's habitat
