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!

Excellent morning with Catherine of Amelia Adventures and her team! A great way to see a beautiful part of Amelia Island. We were also able to book a boat tour with Thomas during our stay to see Cumberland Island. I highly recommend both tours! Amelia Adventures knows all of the good spots - we saw baby alligators, turtles on the kayak tour and tons of dolphins during the boat tour as well as the horses on Cumberland Island. We will definitely be back to Amelia Adventures on future vacations!

We had a private, 3 person kayaking trip on Lofton Creek. We saw a few baby alligators and a few turtles and enjoyed the beautiful day. Catherine was a super guide and told us about the creek and natural history of the area.

Took the Cumberland Island Trip with Amelia Adeventures and it did not disappoint. Very reasonably priced and perfect for a group of paddlers with a mixed skill set. Amelia Adventures handled all the heavy lifting for the trip, all we had to do was show up with our sunscreen and bottled water. Launched from a great spot and the paddle to Cumberland required practically no effort since they timed our trip with the tides. Upon landing on Cumberland we were steps away from seeing the horses since there were some grazing in the tidal marsh, which left the group ample time for combing the pristine beach for shark's teeth & shells. The paddle back required a little more effort, mostly owing to a big uptick in the number of boats on the water, but the whole trip only took around 3 hours and left us with plenty of energy to keep sightseeing for the rest of the day. The boat landing where we departed was clean and well maintained and the kayaks and gear provided by the company were all in good shape and easy to use. But the best part was that Thomas took all the pictures and they were amazing. No need to bring a camera or a phone along and worry about trying to keep it dry & sand free; they have you covered on that front too. I highly recommend this company if kayaking or boat tours are on your Amelia Island itinerary.
