2026 Public Tour Schedule
Okefenokee & Satilla Expeditions’ all-inclusive guided paddle camping trips include your boats, camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads), meals, snacks, beverages, camping necessities, camping permit fees, complimentary photos of your adventure, guide service, and Naturalist storytelling and interpretation of the swamp's flora, fauna, human history, and natural history.
Arrive ready to paddle and we’ll take care of the rest! Meet your guide and fellow adventurers, get fitted with top-quality kayaks and canoes, paddles, and life jackets, load the boats, then go through a safety briefing and paddling overview before hitting the water. With small group sizes and an experienced, local guide leading the way, you’ll be free to relax, explore, and soak in the wild beauty of Okefenokee’s cypress and waterlily-lined paddling trails.
Sites are TBD until the permit reservation window opens for each trip’s dates. Information will be updated here once permits are secured.
During these leisurely-paced trips, we’ll have the opportunity to look for a variety of bird life, reptiles, mammals, and fascinating plant life of the Okefenokee Swamp. Your guide will answer your questions and help you learn all about the amazing wetland around you. Upon arrival at our campsites (either platforms or island camps), you’ll set up camp while your guide begins dinner preparations. If you don’t have experience camping, your guide can help you set up your tent and equipment, giving helpful camping advice to make sure you have a comfortable night. Solo adventurers, couples, families, and friends are all welcome on our trips! No paddling experience required, but moderate fitness is necessary.
River tours to be added once water levels are assessed closer to 2026 dates.

Google Review from a former trip guest:“I had my first trip with this outfitter this past weekend (Oct 17-19) and I can't wait to book another adventure with this company. Our guide and owner Jenny was amazing. We did a kayak / camping trip in the Okefenokee Swamp and all we had to do was show up with a few personal items. She provided everything from camp gear to dry bags to toothbrushes. Our meals were amazing, and we loved learning about the swamp from a true local. 10/10 recommend this company!”
