We offer two distinct departure times to suit your schedule and aesthetic preferences: The Morning Paddle: Start your day with the creek at its most peaceful. Morning tours often feature cool, crisp air and mist rolling off the water. This is the optimal time for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts, as the creek’s inhabitants are most active during the early hours. The Afternoon Paddle: Unwind and transition into the evening with our afternoon departure. As the sun begins to lower, the canopy is bathed in warm, golden light. The afternoon current provides a relaxing, restorative journey that serves as the perfect capstone to a day exploring Coastal Brunswick County.
