2044 | Skidaway Island by Water

See Skidaway Island from a new perspective as you circumnavigate the island by boat. Led by marine educators, this excursion highlights both the natural beauty and the rich human history of our coast. Get a glimpse of our salt marshes and maritime forest habitats, with the chance to spot iconic wildlife like bald eagles. You’ll also learn about the human history of Skidaway Island, from its early indigenous inhabitants, the Guale people, to its present-day residents, including the researchers and educators on UGA’s Skidaway Marine Science Campus.  

Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium. Children ages 10 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult.  

$30 per person

Tickets are nonrefundable. 

Special Notes:

• All boat activities are weather-dependent and require appropriate and adequate footwear and clothing, including closed-toe shoes. There is no guarantee of wildlife sightings, but every program will include information about estuarine ecology and conservation.
