SouthEast Adventure has been in business since 1994 - based on St. Simons Island and in Brunswick, Georgia. Pioneering every trip we offer, our company has been integral in promoting and enhancing kayaking throughout the Golden Isles of Georgia.

SouthEast Adventure was started with the goal to provide exceptional kayaking trips through some of the widely unexplored and naturally beautiful areas along Georgia’s coast. Over time, the trips just keep getting better - with new adventures planned every year, and more people interested in sharing our unique perspective and expertise.

Here is a sample of Southeast Adventures trips and experiences.

Brunswick Kayak Tour (about 2 hours)
Learn the basic skills of sea kayaking while exploring the scenic “Marshes of Glynn.” Launching from our private dock, this trip is an easy and informative way to discover why kayaking is one of the fastest growing sports today. Discounts for kids’ groups.

St. Simons Kayak Tour (about 3 hours)
Join our experienced local guides as we discover the magic of sea kayaking. We’ll teach the skills needed to safely enjoy the sport as we watch the abundant wildlife in the marshes and on the beaches of St. Simons and Sea Island. Anyone can enjoy the stable, expedition quality sea-kayaks used on our trips. We take a break on a beautiful remote beach for a little birding and shelling.

Satilla River Day Trip
Cruise the beautiful black waters of one of Georgia’s most pristine rivers. Blinding white sandbars grace every bend. Cypress trees and wildlife abound. This is a mellow river, ideal for families and kids.

The shrimp boat experience aboard Lady Jane teaches the history and techniques of shrimping. Experience 90-minute dolphin/shrimping tours aboard a working 60-foot shrimp trawler. Charters available for special events, extended shrimping tours, diving, bottom fishing, weddings and sightseeing cruises.

Welcome aboard the Lady Jane - a United States Coast Guard certified 49-passenger steel shrimping vessel recently retired after years of loyal service to the shrimping industry. She has been painstakingly refurbished for your cruising pleasure. Lady Jane is the only shrimp vessel on the entire east coast that has been certified by the USCG to carry 49 passengers.

If you like, help the crew sort the shrimp from her catch of bonnethead , blacktip, sand shark, horseshoe crab, puffer fish, amberjack, crocker, spot, whiting, bluecrab, and skate. Want fresh shrimp to eat? Then sit back and enjoy boiled shrimp the crew has prepared. If you’re worried about bad weather, relax! Lady Jane has a big, air-conditioned cabin, restroom and large open decks with ample room for you to walk around and enjoy the views.

Why not have a picture taken with the captain at the helm of a real shrimp trawler?

Okefenokee Pastimes provides paddling tours, motorboat tours, camping, outfitting, cabin rentals, plus an arts and crafts gift shop, in the Okefenokee Swamp, one of Georgia’s most remarkable natural areas.

Okefenokee Pastimes is a private business located at the East Entrance (the headquarters) of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, offering excellent guided nature tours of Okefenokee swamp, rivers, and coastal habitats; exceptional overnight accommodations by way of clean cozy comfortable cabins; outfitting and shuttles with kayak and canoe rentals; camping and RV hook-up spots; and Swamp Gas Gallery, an art and craft gift shop. The owners of Okefenokee Pastimes are a couple, two progressive thinking native southerners, who have been around the block a few times - a Georgian and a Floridian who take tremendous pride in Okefenokee Pastimes, their creation. We are unconventional in our approach to many things, such as advertising and traditional corporate business attitudes and techniques. We do not invest in the overpriced advertising associated with many guide books or meaningless alliances and/or other inflexible and obsolete information modes. Those things rarely seem to give an accurate picture of the reality. We have arrived at our determinations by extensive travel experiences ourselves, because we always seek but rarely find places similar to our business Okefenokee Pastimes. The Internet and our conspicuous website location on the information super highway is the main vehicle we use to tell people what our business is all about. In addition, we possess a very prominent physical location in relation to the Okefenokee Swamp and St. Mary’s River. Okefenokee Pastimes is simply two individuals providing something very special that is not cheaply or easily advertised. Our web site okefenokee.com is the best conveyance we know of, for informative communications. Over the years (more than 10 now), we’ve noticed that the individuals who used the internet to gather information about us, not relying solely on printed or guidebook information are almost always satisfied with their Okefenokee Pastimes experience. Information is very powerful and we try to help you empower yourself with our website’s information.

Okefenokee Pastimes is located on 14 private, wooded acres offering the closest accommodations, and in the opinion of many, the best accommodations available around the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Okefenokee Pastimes is the place to be if you appreciate a cozy, comfy, nice and very clean cabin (your own personal independent charming little home in the woods) that features convenience, a natural rural setting, reasonable rates, peaceful surroundings, clean grounds, and a well-run, privately owned and operated business. We offer cabin accommodations, guided tours, outfitting, camping and a tiny art and craft gift shop. We have quite a bit that we do here and we do all of it well.

The best way to learn is practical application with your hands on the tiller under the guidance of our Instructors. All instruction is done dockside and on the boats. The Result? Certification can be accomplished in a specified amount of course time.
• We are the only Lake Lanier school located on a major resort! Why spend your sailing time and dollars at a marina when you can enjoy the luxury of Lake Lanier Islands complete with hotels, dining, waterpark, golf and much more. Bring the whole family if you like. Let them play while you sail!
