Paddle Into History: Kayak Tours Of Jamestowne Island Are Back! 🚣‍♀️🦅

Grab your friends, your coworkers, or your favorite paddling buddy—kayak season is officially open on the serene waters of Powhatan and Backwater Creeks, right behind Jamestowne Island! Whether you’re planning a private adventure or organizing a group outing (up to 10 paddlers!), this is hands-down one of the most fun, scenic, and unique ways to explore the natural and historical treasures of coastal Virginia.

🌊 Why You’ll Love It:

  • Bond with friends or teammates while gliding through calm waters—perfect for everything from solo escapes to corporate retreats (like the one shown in our featured image!).
  • Our experienced guides will share stories about the Colonial history of America’s first permanent English settlement and the American Indian tribes who lived here for thousands of years. Spot wildlife like ospreys, herons, bald eagles, and more in their natural habitat.

  • – Take in breathtaking sunset views over the James River—you’ll want your camera for this one!
  • – Get a great workout in while soaking up history and nature.

🚐 After Your Paddle… Unwind Like a Local

Once you’re back on dry land, we highly recommend making your way over to Billsburg Brewery—right next door at the James City County Marina. Enjoy a cold craft beer 🍻 and savor something delicious from one of the rotating gourmet food trucks parked onsite.

Don’t forget to explore Historic Jamestowne before or after your tour to round out your adventure with an archaeological perspective!
