Paddle into Adventure: A Perfect June Day Kayaking Behind Jamestown Island

Looking for a fun, active, and educational family outing in June? Join Best Williamsburg Tours, a licensed kayak operator in James City County, for a serene and scenic paddle behind Jamestown Island—where nature, history, and unforgettable family moments come together.

Recently, one of our guided tours brought smiles all around as a family glided through the peaceful waters of Powhatan Creek. The highlight? A thumbs-up from their daughter, captured in a photo with our cheerful kayak guide—proof that outdoor fun knows no age!

🌿 What You’ll See on the Water
Our route winds through tidal marshes rich with wildlife. You might spot great blue herons, osprey, and bald eagles soaring above, while turtles, egrets, and the occasional river otter play along the banks. The gentle waters make this the perfect outing for beginners or families with kids. It’s both relaxing and invigorating!

🏰 Why Here? A Journey Through History
You’re not just kayaking anywhere—you’re paddling through the historic waterways where America began. Jamestown Island, established in 1607, was the site of the first permanent English settlement in North America. From the water, you’ll get a unique perspective on the land where Powhatan, Pocahontas, and Captain John Smith once walked.
