This guided kayak tour on Amelia Island offers a 2-hour 15-minute paddle through Lofton Creek, a calm blackwater channel winding through the forested wetlands of Yulee, Florida. The tour suits paddlers of all skill levels, including children and beginners. Participants use provided kayaks, paddles, and life jackets, accompanied by professional guides who also take complimentary photos during the tour. The creek’s water is dark due to tannins from decaying vegetation, and the surrounding ecosystem includes bald cypress, sweet gum trees, along with plants like pickerelweed and wild azaleas. Wildlife sightings often include turtles, alligators, snakes, otters, and sometimes manatees, plus birds such as pileated woodpeckers, red-shouldered hawks, and anhingas. The protected nature of the creek makes paddling here less affected by coastal weather. South-bound paddles offer marsh views, while north-bound routes lead through more remote forested areas.
