"This
is not a journey to be lightly undertaken, for a wilderness island is what one
brings to it. It is a confrontation with one's self, and this can be both
terrifying and infinitely rewarding. One is apt to lose himself and find that he
can never be quite the same again. He may lose himself to pure ecstasy
strolling a deserted beach through flashing clouds of sea birds on Cumberland
Island, and on another day, storm tossed, when the rain is like a whiplash and
the surf roars in with savage fury, he may lose himself in the infinite sorrow
of life, in the cry of heart wrenching poignancy washed in from a thousand
unseen shores by the mewing of grieving gulls."

This
is what we love to do ourselves. The Georgia coast is so fascinatingly
interesting and beautiful. 1 night, 2 nights, 3 nights, or the whole week...the whole
coast if you like. Let us plan and organize your Georgia Coast Kayak Adventure.
Tides, weather, campsites, food, gear...we love this kind of thing. Or, maybe
you want to do all the ground work and just need a person with good local
knowledge...a Guide. You can use the itineraries below to help plan your
trip, or give
us a call with your idea/dream and we will try to make it a reality.
"Our trip was MORE then we expected in every
way!! The dolphins, salt marsh, bonus alligator...made it a trip to
remember! Nigel was an excellent guide, and we appreciate his knowledge
and expertise - as well as his awareness of ours! I've never camped on a
deserted island before, and it was a wonderful experience. " - Donna and
Don Becher, Kentucky.
NEW FOR 2008 FAST
and LITE CAMPING
TRIPS. These trips are
designed for those looking for the next step from day trips, with a
future desire to undertake their own self guided kayak adventures. These
are fully guided and instructional based adventures for paddlers with
basic foundation of skills. More ground is covered and clients are
expected to get involved in the 'infield' descision making and trip
planning. We use Little Tybee as our training ground during which time
we will attempt to circumnavigate the island. This program is not
recommended for those just starting out in the sport of sea kayaking. Cost
per person -$265

OVERNIGHT
ON LITTLE TYBEE
A
Great
Weekend Getaway for any ability - $195 per person
With
over 40 miles of creeks and waterways, Little Tybee is a somewhat deceiving
name. It's 4 miles of Atlantic beaches are home to no one but an
awesome array of wildlife, such as the mighty loggerhead and many
variety of shorebirds. We will part of the first day
paddling through the middle of L.T.'s salt marsh to a beach camp on the
southern end. Some late afternoon beachcombing, grilled dinner under the
stars, and an evening around the campfire make for the perfect day. After
breakfast and coffee at sun up, it's a relatively lazy paddle back to
civilization.
Although
times vary according to tidal conditions, this trip extends from early
morning on the first day through midday of the second. All boats, gear,
and meals provided.

Slideshow
Meet at St Mary's. Over seventeen miles of beach makes Cumberland
the longest of the Georgian islands. It is the only stretch that is designated
National Seashore. Great hiking trails cover most of
this very beautiful jungle island. On route to our base campsite, we
will stop for lunch at the palatial Plum Orchard Mansion. On the second day we will have the option of paddling around
Little Cumberland Island to Christmas Creek. One full
day will be given to hiking and island exploration. The last morning is spent breaking camp and paddling back. All
boats, gear, and meals provided.

SAPELO ISLAND
ADVENTURE
View
Slideshow
Want to experience something unique? Sapelo Island is, we think, one of the most interesting places on the east
coast of the United States. It is a sub- tropical island paradise that has been
home simultaneously to millionaires, scientists,
agriculturalists, slaves, and Native Americans. Charles Lindbergh landed
his plane on the beach on several occasions. The history of this place is intense and continues to play out today. All
boats, gear, and meals provided.

ALTAMAHA RIVER TRIP
The largest river flowing entirely in Georgia, the Altamaha is
undamed and fed by it's parent streams the Ocmulgee and the Oconee. Much of
the river is bordered by bottomland swamp forest, and vegetation along
it's banks consists of cypress, tupelo, maple, willow, ash, and sweet gum.
Sandbars and expansive natural beaches abound, making for great campsites.
First night accommodations can be
arranged in Savannah before heading out deep into the Georgia boonies.
Don't bring the banjo. Trips available in canoe or kayak. All
boats, gear, and meals provided.
