Thanksgiving With Kingfisher

tl;dr – Thanksgiving is a great time to go paddling and bond with friends or family. Call 912-230-4323 to book.

Thanksgiving is one our favorite times of year, and it’s really encouraging to see the Golden Isles bustling with so much activity as families and friends begin to gather for the holiday.

Gatherings and holiday celebrations often mean that people will be searching for activities to fill their days, so we want to remind you that Kingfisher Paddleventures is open. All of our normal tours on St. Simons and Jekyll are available, but we recommend the kayaking tours over the paddleboard tours this time of year. With that said, we’re happy to take you out on paddleboards if that’s what you really want. We enjoy both. And, as always, we welcome all ages and skill levels. Our tours a really great way for your Thanksgiving guests to reconnect and bond.

In addition to the tours, we also have rentals available. All rentals include free delivery and pick-up so you can arrange to meet us anywhere in the Golden Isles. We’ll bring the gear to you, you can go paddle, and then we’ll pick up the gear when you’re done. All you have to do is show up and have some Thanksgiving fun! We do all the work.

Whether you want a guided tour or want to explore on your own, we truly have something for every paddler. So we hope you’ll give us a call and add some adventure to your Thanksgiving break.

See you on the water!

Take Your Dad Paddling on Father’s Day!

Dads Paddle Free on Father’s Day!

Use the code “DadsRock!” when you checkout online or mention this promotion when you call to book your activity.

Rental – Tandem Kayak (2 people)

So, if you’re looking for something interesting and fun to do with your dad this Father’s Day weekend, why not take him paddling?

It’s a great way to spend time with the most special man in your life. Create an experience that will live in your memories forever. Trust us, you won’t regret it.

Paddling with kids is fun, too! They love seeing the marshes from a “dolphin-eye view” and the activity is just what everyone needs to help workup an appetite for the Father’s Day grill-out that you’re about to do for yourself! 😉

Dads love it, and the memories last forever! We take pictures of you and your family so you can remember your special day.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the water, with all kinds of people in many different places. By far, the best paddling experiences I’ve ever had included my children. I highly recommend trying it! I’ll admit, it’s not always a smooth paddle – let alone a dry one! – but it’s always

These are my kids, in all their glorious goofiness. One is missing from this picture, but I love her and keep her in my heart. With them, every day is cherished, and I don’t “need” anything special for Father’s Day. That said, it’s still super cool when they stop to say, “I love you.”

Me and my father, 2013 — Norm & Ken Leonard, 2013. Ken died in late August 2014.

This is me and my Dad, about a year before he died.

Make sure you tell your dad that you love him, regardless of how you choose to spend Father’s Day this year.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend – Thank A Veteran!

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and that means it’s time to remember all those who served. Some gave all, all gave some.

Kingfisher Paddleventures is grateful for your service.

We understand that there are people in this world with bad intentions who wish to harm us or take what we have. Then there are the men and women who serve in our military. Thank you, Veterans, for your service, your sacrifice, and the safety you provide.

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you, Veterans — Happy Memorial Day! Thank you, Verterans

The somber, soulful side of Memorial Day is too often dismissed or forgotten, and it’s good to take a moment to slow down and say, “thank you!”

Fortunately, Veterans like to have fun, too! Goodness knows they’ve earned it.

So, we hope you’ll join us out on the water this weekend for a paddle in a kayak or on a paddleboard. It’s not too late to give us a call and plan your adventure. In fact, we have still have a couple of open spots in our schedule, and we’d love the chance to tell a veteran “thank you” in person.

The weather forecast looks great, with plenty of sun and warm breezes! Check out this screenshot of the Weather Underground forecast for the Georgia Coast:

So, please, come on out and enjoy the water! We love to share this beautiful place with visitors and show you all the cool spots. We’re ready for you!

Looking forward to a really great summer! Hopefully you and your family are starting it off in style.
