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!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience kayaking on Egan Creek. Before we even arrived at the docks Thomas took us by the Pippi Longstocking house because we mentioned we could not find it. This was an added bonus. We were the only people on the morning trip with our guide Johnathan. He made the trip interesting by sharing info about the wildlife and the area. We saw a ton of birds. The best part was cruising and weaving through the tall grass. I recommend taking the morning trip as it was not as hot. We would definitely book any excursion with Amelia Adventures!

10 y/o grandson attended a 3 day camp earlier in June. He enjoyed the experience. Saw lots of nature and especially like learning how to paddle board & kayak. The day after the camp even us old folks joined Catherine and grandson for a few hours of kayaking on Lofton Creek. Catherine & Thomas seem to do a top notch job of keeping the kids entertained. If you're ever in the area, call them and go kayaking. Absolutely worth the time & cost.

My husband and I were originally booked for the Cumberland Island tour. However, we were canceled that morning due to weather and wind. We were quickly rebooked at our request for the Lofton Creek tour. We were cheerfully met by our guides Susie and Jonathan at our launching point which had ample free parking and a restroom. Playfully referred to as their Zen tour, this creek tour is simply lovely. We had only one other kayaker. The black water is calm and the paddling effortless. Great trip for relaxing or introducing children to kayaking. We saw turtles, one shy alligatorand many beautiful flowered along the way. The kayaks were stable and comfortable. We kept quite dry. They take free photos of you and the trip along the way. Bring your own water and a snack. Neither were provided. Highly recommend for a relaxing, easy and pretty tour.
