Sailing in Savannah
We'll meet you on Wilmington Island, just 15 minutes from downtown Savannah and raise sail in the Wilmington River. You can sit back and relax or learn how to sail and take control under the guidance of your knowledgeable and friendly captain. While I can't guarantee dolphins, gorgeous sunsets, or new friends, the odds are certainly in our favor. The wind will fill the sails and gently push us along as you soak in beautiful views of the islands and marshes that make the Lowcountry so special. This is a truly unique experience that will get you off the beaten path and give you a taste of Savannah from a local's perspective! If we're not able to sail due to the weather, we'll try to reschedule for a time that fits your schedule. If that's not possible you will receive a full refund. But, don't worry too much, as we only have to cancel a very small percentage of our sails. If you don't see any availability that fits your schedule, just send me a message and I'll try and set something up for you! At this time we are only able to accommodate requests for private trips where your group (up to 6) will have the entire boat to yourselves. *We require a minimum of 4 guests in total to run the trip. If you book as a smaller group, we may have to reschedule, but this is rarely required.

Other things to note All guests must be 21 years or more. Please wear comfortable shoes, there will be walking at a leisurely pace.

Coffee Hike to Three Waterfalls
Love hiking and coffee? You've found the right place. We have over 300 waterfalls around Brevard and searching different trail websites gets confusing to try and pick which one to visit, so I will make it easy, we’ll visit three of my personal favorites along a 3.5 mile loop. The terrain is mostly even, gravel trail with two steep sections (about 70 yards) that will get your heart pumping, but the views are worth the climbs. To me there's nothing better than slowing down to appreciate the moment in nature with a great cup of coffee (and new friends!). On this hike you will try my locally roasted coffee medium roast, called "Trail Magic". I recently hired the best hiking guides in WNC and we can't wait to lead you on a coffee hike! Here's our plan. 1. We will meet at The Hooker Falls parking area in DuPont State Forest, and hike to Hooker Falls. Here we'll break to brew and share coffee together. You'll learn how to make coffee in the woods including how to filter water from the waterfall. 2. We'll head to Triple Falls. It's up a steep climb but we will take our time and the view is totally worth it. 3. After some pictures of Triple Falls, we'll keep hiking on to High Falls, a stunning end to our adventure. Need a different date or time from what's listed? We have multiple guides, so please send date and time requests and we will do our best to accommodate!
Hike with a Llama, Blue Ridge Mountain Llama Encounter
Embark on a llama-licious adventure through the stunning Blue Ridge mountains! Our llama squad is ready to charm you with their fascinating tales and teach you the art of llama whispering before we hit the trails. Get your llama love fix with 1 to 3 fluffy amigos per group, perfect for snuggles and Insta-worthy selfies! This moderate trek, roughly 1 mile long, promises breathtaking mountaintop vistas but beware: it's a hoof-pounding uphill journey on rocky, slippery terrain. Strap on your adventure shoes, folks! Plan for about an hour and a half of llama-rama fun. We need a minimum of 4 adventurers to join the llama party, so rally your squad and let's make some memories! (you do not need to have 4 people in your party, we just need 4 people overall) PS: This llama extravaganza operates on Eastern Standard Time, so set your alarms accordingly! ⏰
Dolphin/shelling adventure or Custom Private Group Cruise
If its dolphin and shelling you're looking for, you've come to the right place! We'll depart from Folly River Boat Landing and enjoy a scenic boat ride through the salt marsh creeks of Folly Island to historic Morris Island. Once on Morris Island, you’ll have the opportunity to walk the beach in search of shells, shark teeth, and other fossils. From Morris Island you will also enjoy breathtaking up-close views of the historic Morris Island lighthouse. During your journey to and from the island, you will enjoy numerous sightings of Bottlenose Dolphins and other saltwater wildlife. If you'd like something different...booze cruise, sunset cruise, or anything else, just contact me for a customized experience for you and your group!
Goat Yoga @ Mini-Farm Flowertown Charm
Goat Yoga is a casual & gentle yoga class, with goats! The goats roam around, cuddle, and play, while in your yoga poses. Our class is for all levels. It is fun, stress-relieving, and often times just quite silly! We hold the class in the backyard of our urban historic home where the goats graze and it is a beautiful setting under the trees. We think this combination is perfect for making you smile all while calming your soul. The class will be about 45 minutes of yoga with our professional yoga instructor, Joe, who will guide you through the poses accompanied by the goats! Yoga will then be followed by Goat Happy Hour. Goat Happy Hour is extra time for you to spend with the animals and other class takers to take pictures, enjoy a drink (BYOB if you wish), or purchase any of the farm goods we make and sell here at our mini-farm. Our classes average 25 people as we sell tickets elsewhere too. Our historic home and mini-farm are located in the Heart of Summerville and we are 15 minutes to beautiful Plantations, 35 minutes to downtown Charleston, and 15 minutes to the Charleston airport. We also host our guest rooms at our historic home with Airbnb, so come stay with us and walk right out the back door to take the class and have unlimited goat snuggles! We can also hold private groups of 10+ people, just message us!
