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!

Wow, where can I begin? The staff are A++, knowledgeable, passionate, fun, and friendly. They knew every detail of the 3 adventures we took. And since this was our first experience in kayaking the staff had patience to ensure our minds were at ease before we started. We toured Lofton and the Cumberland Island by kayak. Amazing wildlife and scenery. And we also did a evening sunset tour by boat. Very romantic setting even with the kids along. Thanks Thomas and Cat!

It was so much fun meeting you guys. How was that for an Amelia Island Adventure Week! Meeting amazing families like yours and sharing the beauty of Amelia Island is why we do this. Sincerely, Thomas

We are locals who wanted to see more of our own wild backyard. We booked the Lofton Creek kayak trip and the entire experience was first rate. Catherine was our guide and provided a safe, relaxing and informative float. She knows the waterways, wildlife, and flora. The pace allowed for great nature photography and conversation. I would definitely recommend Amelia Adventures for a family excursion or something different to do with friends. The peacefulness and quiet makes you feel like you're miles into the wild, it's shady and you never know what you may see around the bend. We look forward to booking another kayak trip and sharing the experience with family. The rest of you locals should try it! Susan E.

We had originally made reservations for the Cumberland Island paddle but due to the weather forecast we had to make some adjustments. I called and spoke with Cat who helped us plan not only one but TWO adventures!! We did a private sunset tour with Captain Thomas!! He was so knowledgeable of the area!! He took us over to Cumberland and we saw a wild horse, saw several dolphins feeding in the Bay Area, went near the marsh and saw beautiful spoonbill birds! It was a wonderful trip for us as we started our vacation! The next afternoon we did a paddle with Cat! Lofton Creek was beautiful!! (Originally I didn’t think it would be as exciting) we saw several large and small alligators, turtles and beautiful flowers along the creek side. The paddle was so beautiful and extremely relaxing. It was my husband and sons first real paddle! Cat and her assistant were amazing and helped my husband relax and really enjoy the tour!! We will DEFINITELY be back and recommend this company to our friends!! Thank you for TWO wonderful memories!!
