Like the Island itself, our private outfitters and guide service reflect a passion for the road less traveled. ‍

All our reviews are “Five Star”

Reserve a Private Excursion

We are NOT a mass transit bus tour using a script. We are a private outfitter and guide service that use 4WD jeeps to explore the rarely seen historical sites on Sapelo. Our family history goes back 10 generations on Sapelo and this makes us the foremost trackers of provenance and cultural heritage on the island. Many of our clients are professionals in academia, wildlife photography, ornithology, as well as broadcast and digital media. Some of our clients come from all over the world so it is important for them to stay on schedule, regardless of weather conditions. Keeping our tours small (up to only 4) benefit our clients and encourages open discussions about the island’s history. We do not add clients to your private tour.

“We highly recommend Peter and Explore Sapelo”

“An Excellent Back Country Guide”

Sapelo is located seven miles off the mainland coast of Georgia. Larger than Bermuda and Manhattan, the island has less than 25 permanent residents. Loved for its primitive and undeveloped beauty, it remains in its natural state unmatched anywhere on the Atlantic Coast. Sapelo visitors say time stops when stepping off the ferry. For those of us who call Sapelo home, there’s an undeniable sense of living between centuries. It is a special place disconnected and cloistered away from the rest of the world.
