Amelia Island has serene beaches, but there’s also a backwater tributary that offers a glimpse into Old Florida splendor. Minimal water movement makes this a relaxed, low-impact experience for all skill levels. Keep your eyes peeled for the locals, too; mainly, gators, waterfowl, fish, and turtles.

What To Expect
Come experience the beauty of a real Florida adventure! Paddle down this beautiful black water tributary of Amelia Island, lined with trees and filled with the sounds of nature. 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. This wetland waterway is not as influenced by the tide as direct coastal waters, so it makes a great tour for even beginner kayakers at any time of day. 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!
