This Nighttime Swamp Tour Will Show You A Whole New Side Of Georgia

One of the biggest and most stunning swamps in the United States happens to be located right between Georgia and Florida. This 438,000-acre wetland can be pure magic when explored, especially with the chance to stumble upon tons of wildlife in their natural habitats. While taking a day tour might be the simplest way to get in the views to this swamp, we have a nighttime tour that will rival them all. Are you brave enough to take this tour in Georgia?

Okefenokee Swamp is sprawling — nearly 500,000 acres of pure natural beauty and coincidentally one of the world’s greatest wetland wildernesses.

For those who have never been to this swamp, taking a swamp tour from Okefenokee Adventures is a guaranteed way to get the most out of your experience.

And if you’re brave enough, there are sunset swamp tours that will really get your adrenaline going and your cameras snapping.

The Okefenokee Adventures Sunset Tour offers you the chance to explore the swamp later in the evening, after the waterways are closed to public visitor traffic.

Travel deep into the swamp and through Okefenokee during the stunning prairie sunset.

On tour nights when the full moon is happening, you’ll be able to watch as the sun sets and the moon rises, all in one shot.

You’ll return to the landing as the stars are shining overhead — the tour begins an hour before sunset and lasts about 2 hours in total.

Always make sure to bring a flashlight with you on the tour so you can see just what type of wildlife comes out at night!

Bring the whole family out for a nighttime swamp tour adventure that’ll show you an entirely different side of Georgia.
