On Amelia Island, your whole gang can enjoy a fun outing with Kayak Amelia on their three-hour kayaking tour.
The tour explores a quietly beautiful salt marsh, the most productive ecosystem on the entire planet, brimming with wildlife like manatees, dolphin, mullet, birds and turtles. A professional naturalist guides the tour, sharing the local history as well as a wealth of fascinating information about the ecosystem.
The tour includes a stop on a sandbar, where you can enjoy a swim and refuel with giant cookies.
The tours are beginner-friendly, and you float with the current, so Ma Nature's doing a fair share of the work. Your duties include relaxing and soaking up the sun and the sights.
