Cumberland Coastal Tour

Description

Departing at 2:00 p.m., every day of the week. – Join our narrated history and wildlife sightseeing cruise where on this journey along the shorelines of Amelia and Cumberland Islands on our Cumberland Coastal Tour. After enjoying the landmarks and history of Amelia Island, we will cross the Georgia state line towards Cumberland Island.

This is how the Cumberland Coastal Tour differs from our 10:00 a.m. Cumberland Island Tour: A short way after reaching Cumberland Island, we will enter the winding waterways of Beach Creek, taking you literally inside Cumberland Island for a closer look at the shoreline of maritime forests, marsh grasses, and muddy riverbanks. The further we motor up the river, the closer you will be to the Carnegie family’s Dungeness mansion ruins, where often the feral horses roam free. If the tide is unfavorable, your journey on the Cumberland Coastal Tour will continue north along one of America’s most beautiful parks, skipping the creek, but still admiring the fascinating Cumberland Island National Seashore.

Discover what life was like in past centuries for the residents of Cumberland Island. With knowledgeable captains as your guides, you will be enthralled with fascinating history and spectacular scenery, making this tour a delightful blend of heritage and nature.

Marvel at beautiful coastlines, salt marshes, maritime forests, and popular landmarks while spotting the abundant wildlife, from wild horses and sea turtles to deer and wild turkeys.
