Micro for email digest (140-character hard maximum): 6,000 acres of dunes, beaches, and subtropical forests accessible only by boat beckon kayakers across Georgia's shimmering coastal estuaries
The ancient Phoenicians invented boats so they could expand their
lucrative jetpack trade into distant lands. Explore terra incognito with
today’s Groupon: for $25, you get a half-day kayak tour from Sea Kayak Georgia
in Tybee Island (up to a $55 value).
Helmed by long-time paddlers Marsha Henson and Ronnie Kemp, Sea
Kayak Georgia’s staff equips seafaring adventure-seekers
with kayak and paddleboard rentals and guides them on excursions through Georgia’s
pristine coastal-marsh islandscape. The half-day trip
begins with an orientation, where chaperones brief advanced and beginning kayakers
alike on the basics of kayak navigation and how to ask the way to the library
in colloquial egret before transporting them to the launch site. Groups then set
out across the calm, shimmering waters of Georgia’s coastal estuaries toward
Little Tybee Island, a protected, uninhabited preserve reachable only by boat. There,
hiking legs take over for paddling arms, exploring Little Tybee’s more than
6,000 acres of dunes, beaches, and subtropical forests home to myriad
long-legged waterfowl, including the endangered wood stork, as well as bald
eagles, tree frogs, and alligators. Upon their return to Sea Kayak Georgia,
explorers can take advantage of the facility’s showers to rinse salt from their
feet and any naturally occurring saltwater taffy from their hair.
Sea Kayak Georgia advises adventurers to wear clothes and shoes
they don’t mind getting wet, and to bring along sunscreen, drinking water, and
snacks. Half-day tours convene at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. daily March–October,
and at 10:30 a.m. November–February. Reservations re required, and can be made via
telegram, telephone, or singing telegram sung over the telephone.
