You may bring snacks, beverages or sandwiches however; no large beach bags or large coolers please. Sunscreen, hats and sunglasses are recommended. Beach attire with water shoes, sandals or flip flops is appropriate. Light jacket is optional when the weather is below 75 degrees.

Wild horses, quiet backwaters, and exploring places most people never get to see. That’s what makes these tours so special. 🐎🌊

One of the coolest parts of our longer tours out of Amelia Island is pulling up near Cumberland Island and watching these wild horses roaming free along the shoreline. Every trip is different, and you never know what you’re going to see around the next bend.

Stop scrolling… you can drive your own boat out here! 🚤

This is not a tour where you sit and watch, you’re behind the wheel the whole time, running through the beautiful backwaters of Amelia Island, cutting through turns, open water, and marsh like it’s a go kart on the water. 🐬
