You’ll have the opportunity to see native wildlife in their natural habitat, including the possibility of seeing turtles, alligators, many different species of birds and fish, and beautiful flora and fauna.

The beautiful mirrored black water creates amazing photo opportunities. Come see why this is the most popular kayak tour location of the Amelia Island area!
