We booked the guided tour. It left from Melton Nelson Boat Ramp which is about 10 minutes west of the beaches on a winding river. The trip took about two hours. If you have taken kayaks or canoes on a Florida river you will still like the scenery here and the relaxing tour of the river. But Kerri is a fun tour guide who makes it an adventure. She also brings free drinks and snacks. Tips: Take sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. You won't get wet unless you fall out, but it's good to bring waterproof bags for your wallet, phone, etc. and water shoes if you have them -- just to get in and out of the kayak.

This was the first visit for my husband and I to Amelia Island. Kerri was a wonderful guide on our two hour kayaking tour. We are not experienced kayakers, and she let us go at our own pace even though it ended up being over two hours. She pointed out wildlife and provided information about the area. She also took pictures of us along the way so we could just kickback and enjoy the experience.

Wonderful, perfectly paced trip through beautiful waterways lined with nature and lush green. Teens thoroughly enjoyed themselves. (They forgot about their phones for a few hours. ) Guides were very informative. Would highly recommend!
