We will stay at the famed Greyfield Inn whole on the island. From Cumberland Island we will travel via ferry back to the mainland and board a charter bus for Waycross, Georgia. Waycross will be our base while we visit the three entrances to the Okefenokee Swamp. From Waycross, we will travel via charter bus back to St. Marys, Georgia. St. Marys will serve as our base to visit Amelia Island, Florida and a nearby Naval submarine base.
All accommodation are double occupancy, all with private baths.
On Cumberland Island, you will see wild horses, birds, uncluttered beaches, a maritime forest, and ruins of a once-glamorous Carnegie home. Understand the importance of barrier islands. Field trips include guided walks on Cumberland Island and, at the Okefenokee, boat trips and nature walks at each entrance. An active program with walking and stairs.
