Overview

The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is perfect for paddlers of any level, including children and beginners. It’s an intimate nature experience in which participants can expect to get up close and personal with turtles, alligators, snakes, otters, and occasionally, manatees. The terrestrial nature of the forest attracts pileated woodpeckers, red shoulder hawks, and the curious anhinga, sometimes referred to as the “water turkey.” The protected makeup of Lofton Creek means paddling here is “weather resistant” to tumultuous coastal conditions. A south-bound paddle on Lofton Creek provides picturesque marsh views, whereas a north-bound paddle is a more remote, forested experience. The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is a guaranteed good time for everyone in your group!

What to expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Yulee, Yulee, Florida

Our Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is a calm, blackwater channel that meanders through the forested wetlands of Yulee, Florida.

Stop At: Lofton Creek, Yulee, FL 32097, USA

A primordial waterway, Lofton Creek features water that is dark in color, created by the tannins which leach into the water as vegetation decays. Replete with bald cypress, sweet gum, and rare flowers like pickerelweed and wild azaleas, this unique ecosystem is reminiscent of an old south bayou – brackish water teeming with unique plants, animals, and reptiles. Native Americans most likely fished these waters and cultivated the land for thousands of years before the Spanish, French, and English arrived in the mid-16th century.

Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes

Rachel learned our names immediately and engaged ...

Great experience! Rachel was our guide and she was great! Made the trip fun and educational. I would definitely recommend this tour. First time our family had ever been kayaking. A lot of fun will do it again. I know Rachel has never seen anyone run into as many trees as I did!

We loved every minute of the excursion. My 15 year old daughter was able to navigate the creek well. It is a full 2 hours of paddling. We saw an alligator, two turtles and a bald eagle. The guides are excellent. It was a fun experience.
