Savannah, Georgia stands apart as a gateway to the lowcountry’s natural splendor, where water and forest meet in dynamic harmony. Savannah Awesome Tours, LLC offers a lineup of outdoor adventures that bring you face-to-face with this lively landscape, from kayaking along tidal creeks to exploring maritime forests where every gnarled live oak seems to have a story. Each excursion respects the environment’s pace—a push and pull of river currents daring you forward, marsh grasses swaying as if to guide your path.

The tours include guided kayaking trips through the serene waterways around Skidaway Island, where you navigate about 5 miles of shifting tides and watch for flocks of herons and egrets. Expect flat water with mild tidal influence and occasional stretches bordered by marsh reeds that frame the horizon. Paddlers of all skill levels are welcome; guides provide clear briefings on safe handling and route particulars. Proper footwear is key—water shoes or quick-dry trail shoes work best to grip wet surfaces and protect feet.

For those desiring a terrestrial option, the tours lead you through forest trails ranging from 2 to 4 miles, with gentle elevation rises no more than 150 feet, threading beneath towering pines and old oaks heavy with Spanish moss. The terrain is generally firm dirt but can present soft patches after rain, so bring sturdy hiking shoes with good traction. The shaded routes make afternoon hikes pleasant, but morning departures help avoid midday heat and maximize wildlife sightings.

Savannah Awesome Tours also offers bike tours suitable for riders with moderate stamina, using hybrid bikes on paved and packed dirt paths that show off urban parks and marsh views. These require a basic level of fitness and confidence handling rolling terrain over distances of 8 to 12 miles.

Hydration is crucial here—the coastal air can mask dehydration. Carry at least two liters of water on any tour, and dress in layers to adjust to shifting coastal breezes. Timing your visit in spring or fall maximizes comfort, with cooler temperatures and fewer insects. Summer does bring humidity, yet early risers might catch mist hovering over the marshes, a quiet moment before the day fully awakens.

Savannah’s spirit is found less in conquering nature and more in joining it: feeling the river currents push your kayak, the path beneath your feet steady and alive, wildlife peering through undergrowth. Outdoor activities with Savannah Awesome Tours, LLC deliver an engaging way to experience the coastal wilderness and urban edges, balancing excitement with respect. Whether paddling, hiking, or biking, you’ll come away inspired—aware of the landscape’s fierce character and ready to meet it on its own terms.
