LITTLE
TYBEE - MARSH & OCEAN
For
the adventurous beginner to experienced paddler. Same
great place, but much more paddling. We will do a 10 mile circumnavigation of
the best parts of Little Tybee. Along the way, we will have lunch on beaches frequented
by
flocks of pelicans, skimmers, terns,
and gulls.. beaches that are the nesting grounds of the mighty Loggerhead
turtles. This trip includes some ocean paddling. The chance of waves and
paddling through surf is moderate to high, and the possibility of capsize is
good. You want adventure, you got it! 5

THE
MOSQUITO RUN
Ladies
and gentlemen, start your engines! Here is a trip for people who
want to paddle. About eleven nautical miles in length, the route
goes through Jack’s Cut, down Little Tybee Slough, up Little
Tybee Creek, through picturesque Mosquito Ditch, and back on the
Back River. We’ll make an occasional stopover on the beach or
in a maritime forest, but mostly we’ll paddle! It’s five
hours of a great workout up and down the middle of a beautiful
island! 5 hrs - $75

SALT
CREEK TRAILS OF LITTLE TYBEE
This
six-and-a-half-mile nautical mile loop trip takes advantage of
three high tide passages—Jack’s Cut, MRS Cut, and Mosquito
Ditch—whose names could easily have inspired Henry David
Thoreau’s lament regarding American place names—“Such is
the poverty of our nomenclature.” Despite the unromantic
appellations, the trip they allow is well worth the effort.
We’ll set out from Tybee on an unusually high tide, cross over
to Little Tybee, and follow winding creeks into and through the
vast marshes of the Little Tybee interior. After sneaking
through a sketchy passage, we’ll take a break by a fishing hut
on a remote hammock. From here we’ll make our way by Long
Island (the largest of Little Tybee’s upland hammocks), and
then return to the embrace of civilization via Little Tybee
Creek. 5 hrs - $75

| WASSAW ISLAND
Paddle and hike... the Georgia Coast's most pristine barrier
island. It's a straight forward go-with-the-flow paddle down the
Wilmington River, into Wassaw Sound, and to the island.
Designated a National Wildlife Refuge in 1969, the ten thousand
acres include beaches with rolling dunes, live oak, and slash
pine woodlands. Enjoy a
hike on the interior trails before a lunch spread on the
oceanside beaches of Wassaw. Not to be missed. 6 hrs -
$95

OSSABAW
ISLAND
Designated
in 1978 as Georgia's first Heritage Preserve, Ossabaw
Island remains a limited access gem, with inland exploration by permission only.
Launching from Skidaway Island, we will soon be out in wide open
spaces and heading for a point low on the horizon. This is
a full day's journey, not for the novice or those looking for a
laid back paddle. It is very
beautiful and off the beaten track. Tasty lunch included. Sea Kayaking
experience is required. Good physical condition is
recommended. 8
hrs - $125

EBENEZER
CREEK
Gorgeous
Ebenezer Creek is a black
water swamp, lined with cypress and tupelo trees. It is a slow moving creek that empties into the
Savannah River, alongside the historic Ebenezer settlement. You will be
thrilled with the beautiful, lush, 'southern' scenery. Cameras
recommended. It's also a great place to see alligators.. crikey! 4

SKIDAWAY
NARROWS
A
twenty minute drive from downtown brings you to this beautiful, but
seldom-seen side of Savannah. The kayaking begins at Skidaway
Narrows. We paddle a short stretch along the 'Intercoastal
Highway' before cutting into the narrow, meandering, forested
creeks. Always a favorite on
this trip is watching the many osprey as they come and go from
their nests. Great birding, great scenery.. welcome to the south!
