Little Tybee Island
Little Tybee Island is a chain of inland hammocks and small barrier islands connected by a maze of tidal creeks. Largely deserted even in summer months, the area is accessible only by boat. A graphic example of dune formation and maritime forest evolution, Little Tybee has a progression of palm, juniper, bay, pine and live oak trees. It is inhabited by dolphin, raccoon, gray fox, mink, feral pig, deer and alligator. There are no permanent human dwellings. The island has several miles of beachfront, accessible from inland rivers flowing to the sea. Thus, you can beach camp without having to paddle through the surf zone. On the other hand, if you like surfing, Little Tybee offers some of the best on the Georgia coast. Wild, scenic and wonderful, it is a great place for forest camping in the winter months or beach camping in warmer times. Primitive camping is the accommodation style for Little Tybee.

Wassaw
Wassaw Island is a full day trip we love to paddle, when we are camping overnight on the south end of little Tybee. Wassaw is a national wildlife refuge open to the public during daylight hours. It has mature maritime forests and miles of deserted beach. The landscape is famous for the Bone Yard, a grove of live oaks taken by the sea, dead but still standing in the sand and exposed to the roots at low tide. Crossing Wassaw Sound to the island can be very exciting. We love the hiking and navigation opportunites on this trip.

Ossabaw Island
Ossabaw Island, rich in cultural history as well as natural history, is Georgia’s first Heritage Preserve. Traveling by kayak gives us a unique perspective of Ossabaw’s intricate estuary and wetland ecosystem and it’s undisturbed wildlife habitat. It is host to a wide array of wildlife, such as dolphins, osprey, herons, endangered wood storks, wild turkey, Sicilian donkeys, wild pigs, alligators, and endangered loggerhead sea turtles. This trip provides an amazing opportunity to learn about Georgia’s barrier islands in an extraordinary and dynamic classroom. The landscape of Ossabaw is not unlike what the first Europeans encountered upon seeing what is now the Georgia coast.

This 26,000-acre barrier island is located 20 miles south of Savannah, Georgia. Approximately 17,000 of the island’s acres consist of marshes, rivers and creeks. The remaining 9,000 acres are highland wetlands, hammocks, and 9.5 miles of pristine beach.

Island tours by vehicle, led by staff naturalists with the Ossabaw Island Foundation, are included in the trip cost. Camping and lodge accommodations are available on Ossabaw.

Cumberland Island
The largest and southernmost of Georgia’s barrier islands, Cumberland Island was designated a national seashore in 1972. The island is steeped in human history, offering visible remains of ancient Indian cultures, the Revolutionary War, and the turn of the century grandeur of the Carnegie era. Cumberland’s beach is glorious and spacious. Today’s visitors find a ridge of slowly migrating sand dunes encroaching upon an impressive live oak forest. The forests are home to wild turkey, armadillos, white tailed deer, feral pigs, and wild horses. The native bobcat has been reintroduced with great success. Nestled under the gnarled canopy of Cumberland’s ancient maritime forest, our camp is minutes away from the beach. We will explore the forests, marshes, and beaches of this beautiful island by kayak and on foot. Our evenings are spent around crackling fires in Sea Camp. Primitive campsites are also used as we combine kayaking with hiking.

Sapelo Island
A combination of adventure and cultural experience, this trip is designed to challenge paddlers progressively while taking time to enjoy the great diversity of southern culture. We explore the area around Darien, GA a small coastal fishing town, then cross the Doboy Sound to Sapelo Island. Sapelo is the last intact community of the Gullah people, descendants of several African nations who developed a common language and a distinct cultural identity. Most were freed slaves who were granted lands on this island. Sapelo is beautiful and rich-it’s a great place to slow down. Camping, B & B, lodge and other accommodations are available on Sapelo.

Cabretta Island
One of our favorites, this island is connected to Sapelo. We combine walking visits to Sapelo with camping on Cabretta. Cabretta has excellent surfing and rough water training opportunities. This camp is our favorite next to Little Tybee Island. It is a 15 mile paddle to the camp, where will will base for 2-4 nights as we surf, explore, relax and spend some time unplugged from the world.

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
The Okefenokee, with its vast prairies and thick, almost impregnable cypress swamps, is one of the largest and most pristinewilderness areas in the eastern United States. It is in extreme south Georgia, on the border of Georgia and Florida. There are two rivers that flow out of the swamp; the St. Marys, which flows into the Atlantic near Cumberland Island, and the Suwannee River that flows into the Gulf of Mexico, near Cedar Key Florida.
At the headwaters of these rivers, deep inside the swamp, the tea colored water reflects beautiful moss covered cypress trees that line the lakes and canoe trails.
The Okefenokee swamp is more than 438,000 acres, of which 396,00 make up the Okefenokee National wildlife Refuge. Inside the refuge almost 354,000 acres is designated a Wilderness area, which means special protection for the plants and animals that live and grow in the swamp.
Vegatation is dense in the swamp and includes giant tupelo and bald cypress trees festooned with Spanish moss, brush, and vines; where sandy soil is above the water, pine trees predominate. 
Wildlide is abundant. Over 200 species of birds and at least 40 species of mammals, which include raccoons, black bear, deer, bobcats, for, and otter. Alligators and 50 other species of reptiles are found, as well as over 30 species of fish. 
On the NAtional Wildlife Refuge wildlife and plants are the first priority.
Wilderness Canoeing
There are over 120 miles of canoe trails in the swamp. Depending on the trail, you will paddle through cypress forests and scrub-shrub areas, across lakes and wet prairies. Visit some island where Indians and early settlers lived.
Nights will be spent on raised platforms. There you can relax, explore the surrounding area, or fish for the elusive chain pickerel while a dinner is being prepared.
Witness nature in its natural environment. Canoeing in the swamp is a true wilderness experience.

Rivers of Southern Georgia
The rivers of southern Georgia are some of the most beautiful in the country. Our trips range from small rivers and creeks to some of the largest rivers on the east coast. Here we can spend 2 days or 2 weeks, paddling through the interior of Georgia. 
These rivers have beautiful, sometimes large sandbars where we can set up camp for the night.
Floating in a canoe, kayak or SUP is very relaxing and peaceful. Sometimes you can go for days and not see a person or a cabin. Birds and wildlife are abundant, and the fishing is great also.
Come join us for a trip you won't soon forget.
