Single-day Tours

Okefenokee is huge, and so the West and East entrances look very different from each other! Here are the differences:

East side tours explore Okefenokee’s prairies (marshes), with some spots of forested swamp. On east side tours you’ll have long vistas across the prairies.

West side tours explore Billy’s Lake, the Middle Fork Run, and Billy’s Island. You’ll see cypress-lined lake vistas combined with “classic” cypress swamp.

One of the world’s greatest and most unique wetlands lies right in our backyard in south Georgia. The famed Okefenokee Swamp is a National Wildlife Refuge, National Wilderness Area, and more.

Our personalized paddle tours include your kayak, paddle, PFD, complimentary water, snacks, and your own personal guide who not only knows the waterways of the Swamp, but the history, flora, fauna, and culture as well! 2 person minimum.
