The views of the Cumberland Island trip were breathtakingly amazing! This tour was spectacular from start to finish. The water was crystal clear and the beach was secluded. There were a few wild mustangs in the distance. Aaron was a wonderful guide, rich in local history! Both enlightening and somewhat dark…I won’t tell, you’ll have to experience it for yourself… We saw numerous types of jelly fish, sand dollars, blue crabs , ghost crabs, horse shoe crabs, beach glass and shells you can’t find on “regular” beaches. So much to see on “your” private oasis! This is a must DO excursion!! My suggestion is, don’t leave Amelia Island/ Fernandina Beach before booking any of their tours. You won’t be disappointed! I’ve been on 3 of their tours thus far, Logan’s Creek, Lofton’s Creek and Cumberland Island. Each are very different. They all include knowledgeable tour guides with interesting local information. They offer morning and several afternoon noon times. Whether you go solo or choose a tandem kayak, you’ll have hours of fun and relaxation while enjoying and learning local history. Thanks Madison, Aaron and Mark, you guys rock! Also, I appreciate the southern hospitality! Looking forward to the next trip. I have a couple of referrals for ya!

Madison is a very informative and helpful guide.He knows all the info from the native plant life, to the oldest railroad, to the reptiles!! There was even a Sasquatch sighting, lol! If you’re looking for a few hours of fun, look no further! They offer several different tours and they’re ALL ARE AMAZING!

We were delighted to find Amelia Island kayak excursions when we were looking for something to do around Thanksgiving holiday. Madison took us on a beautiful 2 1/2 hour kayak trip on Lofton Creek. Madison was very knowledgeable about the area and the creek and highlighted mini interesting aspects of the surrounding area in the creek. He was very friendly, kind and courteous and we highly recommend Amelia Island kayak excursions for your trip.

I chartered about 15 kayaks to take us down an easy kayaking adventure and they picked a great spot in Lofton Creek. The launch was about 15 minutes from our resort and the guys were all ready for kayakers of all kinds. We were given life vests and a bottle of water and we enjoyed the scenery of "old Florida". The guides were great in taking lots of pictures and providing the guests with a great experience. A day later, the entire album was available on their website (LPA Group) and I was able to share with everyone easily, with or without Facebook! I talked with one of the guides and learned that this is a family business. They have a daughter who runs the operation and a son who is also a naturalist and they know their stuff! I love to support small businesses in the areas we travel, so I give them an extra star for working together to make an awesome option for tourists like us! If we're in the neighborhood again, I will definitely try the other options for our group.

I treated my cousin her two children to a kayaking adventure with Amelia Island Kayak Excursions. We learned how to kayak at Lofton Creek for a 5 mile, 2-hour lesson for beginners. We met at the Melton Nelson Boat Ramp off SR 200. There were 14 of us in the group. My cousin and her 14-year-old daughter teamed up in a tandem kayak, while her 10-year-old son and I teamed up in another. It was an incredible and awesome experience for all of us, but especially for me, who worried for days about getting into a kayak. I was even tempted to find someone to sub in my place, just in case I decided to back out at the last minute. In the end, I decided to go for it. Our two guides, Mr Madison and Mr Brooks, were excellent in providing exceptional step-by-step instructions on getting into a kayak and how to maneuver through the winding creek to enjoy the laid back world of aquatic wildlife and nature. Long story short, I love kayaking, and I plan to pursue it as a new hobby. Goes to show that septuagenarians like me are never too old to start kayaking!🫶🏽

Very relaxing trip down and back on a shaded creek. Trip was about 2 hours and not difficult at all. The guides were very knowledgeable about the creek and the surrounding area. I’m not sure how they did it but they arranged for a train to pass by while we were taking a break before heading back to the launch area. 😄

Thank you Mark for hosting us on a private sunrise kayak tour to Cumberland island. We opted for the sunrise tour after there was a chance for inclement weather the day before. We saw dolphins in the water and wild horses on the island. Mark was a wonderful, experienced guide. We kayaked across Amelia River to Cumberland Island. Then we took a walk along the beach and found half a dozen sand dollars and collected shells along the jetty rocks. Mark made sure to remember our names, share fun facts about the area and engage with us for the whole tour. This is a wonderful family business on the island and I encourage any visitors to sign up for a tour.

We had the best time exploring Cumberland Island with Mark on our sunrise tour! The island was peaceful and beautiful. We saw wild horses and collected sand dollars while visiting the island. Mark has us engaged both on the water and on land! It was absolutely worth getting up early!

Kayaking Lofton Creek with Amelia Island Kayak Excursions guide, Aaron, was an awesome way to spend an afternoon! We saw and learned about the inhabitants of the Creek~~especially gators and turtles! Our very knowledgeable guide described the vegetation that lines the Creek sides and the water that flows through it! I would definitely recommend AIKE and look forward to their Cumberland Island trip on a future trip to Amelia Island!
