Boat tours of various types are available out of Savannah and the marshes and coast nearby.

If you want to see more of the region’s landscape and nature a charter tour of the creeks and rivers between Savannah and Tybee Island or down the coast is worth considering, though this is usually a more expensive option than scheduled public tours.

Nature & Sightseeing Excursions To Tybee & Skidaway

A few private boat tours explore the ecology and history of Tybee Island, with sightseeing tours of the island and fossil-hunting excursions for shark teeth and other prehistoric fragments currently available. See Tybee Island boat tours

Nature-oriented boat tours of the inland marshes near Savannah, around the Skidaway River and its larger creeks, are also available, mostly departing from either Isle of Hope or Thunderbolt. See Skidaway tours

Boat Trips To Georgia’s Barrier Islands

The three major barrier islands south of Tybee – Little Tybee, Wassaw and Ossabaw – are readily accessible as a day trip from the Savannah-Tybee region. As none of the islands have road access, a boat (or kayak, or paddleboard) is the only way to get there.

The pristine nature reserve of Little Tybee Island is the easiest to get to, a short boat ride south of Tybee. Several boat excursions are available, either touring the island and exploring its creeks (when tides allow) to see dolphins and birds, or landing, with time on the island’s secluded beaches to relax or look for shells. See Little Tybee boat tours

Further afield are Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, and Ossabaw Island, the latter privately managed as a nature reserve and cultural site. The large publicly-accessible portion of Wassaw offers beautiful beaches and hiking trails through the island’s forested ridge, and most boat excursions will allow time to venture on land. See boat trips to Wassaw Island

The situation at Ossabaw is slightly more complicated. The beach is accessible to all, with many boat tours touring the island or landing only on these public areas. Access to the interior is controlled by the Ossabaw Island Foundation, and must be arranged either directly with them or via a tour guide, who will arrange access on your behalf. More about visiting Ossabaw Island, and details of available boat tours

PADDLE OPTIONS:

savannah river tours augusta ga

· Paddle the Historic Augusta Canal down to the Lake Olmstead boat ramp where we meet you. This route is our most common route, it is roughly 5 miles long and generally takes people about 2 hours. The nice, mellow current of the canal makes this route perfect for beginners with no rocks or rapids, just a nice easy float down to the turn into Lake Olmstead where you then paddle across the flat water of the lake to the boat ramp at the far end of the right hand side of the lake. We pick up our Kayaks free of charge; shuttle price is $5 and is per person. Shuttle is always free for military (both currently serving or former) as long as they show their military ID; shuttle is also free for kids 15&under. You can always avoid the shuttle price if you drop a car off at the Lake Olmstead boat ramp, the address is 2200 Broad St, Augusta, Ga, 30904 and there is a gravel lot right alongside the canal and a paved trail ; just a friendly reminder- don’t forget your keys to the vehicle you park at the endpoint! Another fun way to avoid the shuttle price is by biking! Bike up to our location from the endpoint if you have your own bike and we will bring it back down to you, or rent a bike from The Bicycle Peddler  located just up from us in the Savannah Rapids Park and we will have it waiting for you at the endpoint and you can ride it back up!

Stalling’s Island

savannah river tours augusta ga

· Paddle above the Locks up to the Steven’s Creek Dam and around Stalling’s Island to see the donkeys and goats! This route is ok for beginners, but if you’ve never kayaked before please let us know so we can have you paddle around for a minute or two before going above the locks. It is not dangerous, unless you DO NOT PADDLE AT ALL, and then there is a major risk of being pulled through the locks that move water into the canal through several big tunnel like things (aka locks) which is inherently dangerous. We don’t want that and trust me, neither do you! While it’s not as lazy as floating down the canal, the little work it takes to paddle against the current is worth every bit of it for the views, peacefulness, and of course, the donkeys! It’s also a totally awesome and unique way to see the river from above the spill way- from a safe distance of course! When you’re done exploring just come on back to the spot where you got in at, while keeping a safe distance away from the locks, cause, remember, inherent danger, stay away! Did we mention that before? On week days you may be responsible for getting your kayaks to and from the put in/ take out spot which is about a quarter mile up from where our business is set up but still inside the park- we do have a cart to make this process easier though! If you would like to paddle this route, please ensure everyone in your party has paddling experience and note “Stallings Island” in the comment section when making your reservation!

savannah river tours augusta ga

· More experienced paddlers may want to try the Savannah River down to the North Augusta Boat Landing (Depending on water level). Unfortunately due to the navigation needed to make it through some rather tight little rapids and over some rocky and shallow areas, we do NOT allow our Tandem Kayaks in the river. Since the river is a bit more dangerous than the canal, but totally fun, we like to use the buddy system in the case of an issue, so make sure you have your buddy, or buddies, before planning to kayak down the river! Your buddy is also gonna be handy while you’re getting Kayaks across the bridge, down the stairs and to the dock along the river! The optimal water level we like to see is between 6,000 cfs and 12,000 cfs. If the water level is running below 6,000 cubic feet per second(cfs), we will not allow our kayaks on the river cause it’s just a bit too low and they take on a lot of damage scraping and dragging over all the rocks; the river may also be dangerously high (over 12,000 cfs), in which we will not allow people to rent kayaks for the river because, while we appreciate some swift current and fun rapids, anything over 12,000 cfs is just dangerously high; it submerges practically all of the rocks and you’re more likely to get swept through trees that would otherwise be on land where they belong.  Feel free to check the water level yourself at  http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=02197000 if you’re interested in venturing down the river- this route typically takes people 2 and a half hours to 4 hours to complete! We do require groups wanting to do the river to have their own transportation for themselves and the kayaks back from the end point as we are often just a bit too busy to make it over to the North Augusta boat ramp- however if this is not a possibility we can make exceptions if you come between 12:15pm- 1:30pm on week days or almost anytime on weekends when we have 2 or 3 shuttles running! If you would like to paddle this route, please ensure everyone in your party has paddling experience and note “River Route if possible” in the comment section when making your reservation- then cross your fingers and hope that the water level is good the day you’d like to come 🤞!

We also have guided river tours as well as moonlight paddles once a month, as well as other events happening daily!   Click Here for special events calendar!

#loveaugusta, augusta's river region.

Augusta’s River Region has all the flavors of the South with a growing culture of artists, foodies, athletes, adventurers, historians, and families – and it’s all the things a Southerner should be. Laid-back. Welcoming. And a little bit quirky.

Beyond the city of Augusta lies a larger and more diverse area we refer to as Augusta’s River Region, which encompasses the  Savannah River  and the neighboring cities including Augusta, Aiken, Columbia County, Edgefield and North Augusta. This region has all the flavors of the south with a growing culture of  artists ,  foodies , athletes, adventurers,  historians , and families. And it’s all the things a Southerner should be: laid-back, welcoming and a little bit quirky.

Augusta’s River Region includes areas of Georgia and South Carolina, so you can experience everything from horse racing to barhopping, from touching textiles to kayaking along the region’s waterways. You could easily spend a day  outdoors hiking or biking miles of trails , and another day enjoying  signature brews and cocktails  and  picturesque downtowns . At the end of your trip, memorialize it by purchasing a bottle of Fruitland Augusta Vodka, which encapsulates two of the things this area is known for: peaches and incredible specialty drink creations.

When most people think of Augusta, they think James Brown and  the Masters® Golf Tournament . But, if you look past the city limits, the soul music, and the golf tournament, you’ll find a diverse region of adventures and tastemakers calling you to come on over.

New marker to commemorate Revolutionary War general's visit to Augusta in 1825

A historic marker for the Marquis de LaFayette sits at the intersection of Jones Street and McArtan Street in downtown Augusta on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. A new historic marker in honor of LaFayette will soon be placed on Greene Street.

Another marker commemorating Gen. Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to Augusta 250 years ago will soon be placed in downtown Augusta. 

The markers recognize the significant historical events associated with the French aristocrat, who served as general under George Washington during the Revolutionary War.  The new marker will be placed on the Greene Street side of the Municipal Building, which was one of the celebration sites during the visit. 

Erick Montgomery, executive director of Historic Augusta, said a private group is providing the markers in the cities Lafayette visited during his year-long Farewell to the Nation tour. On March 23-25, 1825, Lafayette was in Augusta.

Another marker honoring Lafayette’s visit was placed by the Georgia Historical Society in 1962 at the former site of the Planter’s Inn where Lafayette stayed and where a ball was held in his honor. 

Montgomery this week gave Augusta Commissioners a brief history on the importance of Lafayette’s role in America’s battle to win independence from England. 

Lafayette became a Freemason in 1775 and began to advocate for the rights of man, including the abolition of slavery. He was inspired by the American Revolution. Despite the disapproval of the French king, he joined the fight and was commissioned as a major general in the American Army. 

He served with George Washington during the severe winter at Valley Forge and recruited French forces to join the American battle.  

“He was in the final significant battle of the war in Yorktown to defeat General Cornwallis and end the war,” Montgomery said. 

In 1824, to commemorate the 50 th anniversary of the end of the war, President James Monroe asked Lafayette, who at 67 was the last surviving major general of the war, to travel to all 24 states that existed at that time. The Farewell Tour took 13 months and it’s estimated that Lafayette traveled 6,000 miles, he said. 

Montgomery said Lafayette was treated like royalty in Augusta. He arrived by steamboat from Savannah. The bridges over the river were decorated with flowers.  

According to The Augusta Chronicle which published stories about the visit:  

“ Storekeepers displayed all sorts of Lafayette gear – hats, portraits, souvenirs. An arch was constructed over Broad Street. A platform big enough to hold 600 diners was put up in front of the courthouse on Greene Street. With enough military escorts to win a second revolution, Lafayette was greeted with one welcoming address in French, and a speech from the mayor in English. At 3 p.m., there was an outdoor banquet put on by the proprietor of the Globe Hotel, and still more speeches. And that evening, they had a ball at the Planters Hotel, which The Chronicle reported "exceeded the splendor of any ever given in this city."  

The date for the marker to be presented has not been set.
