This sandhill crane kayak trip is a unique experience just out side Chattanooga, Tennessee that is only available from the seat of a kayak. It only happens for a brief period of the year and should be experienced by everyone. This is as close as you can get being on safari in Tennessee. The sounds of the sandhill cranes can be heard well before you ever see them. It has been compared to paddling through Jurassic Park.

Reality beats fantasy

4.00It was a beautiful kayak day. If your fantasy is to see 1,000’s of sandhill cranes, you will be disappointed. If your goal is to share time in a beautiful place with friends and family while seeing dozens (possibly hundreds) of sandhill cranes (and the occasional eagle and great blue heron), then this is your dream trip.
Excellent. I would recommend it to anyone.

5.00Our guide was superb! He set up all the gear for each of us; explained the rules; helped us into our kayaks; pushed us onto the water; shared his knowledge about the environs, guided us on a fabulous tour. Afterwards, he pulled us onto dry land and offered us hot chocolate. What a gracious host! It truly was magical being out on the water, to witness sandhill cranes flying overhead, calling out to each other. I barely felt the cold, as I came wearing three layers of clothing. I’m glad I brought a change of clothes, as the water was a little choppy, splashed into the boat, and got my pants wet.
Memorable experience.

5.00We had a great kayak trip with Brandon to see the Sandhill Cranes from the water at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge on January 13, 2024 during the Sandhill Crane Festival. Brandon was on time and on task the entire trip. The equipment was top-notch. The weather was fantastic considering the time of year. I've been on a lot of outings with groups and I must say this outfitter, this guide are among the best I've encountered. Thanks for a wonderful time Brandon and Chattanooga Guided Adventures!
Great kayaking experience for experienced or new kayakers

5.00We had a wonderful trip. I'm a birder who loves kayaking, and my friend was a first-time kayaker who was nervous about whether she would be able to do it. We both had a great time! Zach is a knowledgeable and highly-competent guide who brings all the extras. We felt spoiled!
Incredible experience!

5.00Zach, our guide was awesome! Very patient and accommodating to us middle aged women. Had all the gear to make it an enjoyable and safe paddle. His obvious love for nature and education shined through. I learned alot about the sand crane and other birds in this region. No question was unanswered. Will definitely be doing another trip!
Memorable experience worth doing

5.00This was a breathtaking experience to see thousands of sandhill cranes lining both sides of the river bank. The flyovers were neat and we were lucky enough to spot American white pelicans and other sightings. Zach was an expert guide who made us feel safe venturing out into frigid waters as well as being knowledgeable about the wildlife we were spotting. Would highly recommend.
A Truly Excellent Adventure

5.00Marvelous! The kayak trip w Zach was outstanding. We met and departed as planned. He provided all equipment needed including binoculars. He gave a short course on paddling enough for novices but not too much for pros. He made sure we were all comfortable and safe throughout the cold and windy day. His deep knowledge of the cranes, other wildlife, and environs was excellent. Truly a unique and wonderful way to view the sandhill cranes (and hear their remarkable calls!) as well as grey herons, bald eagles, and other types of birds. The price was more than reasonable and the hot chocolate at the end of the trip hit the spot! We will definitely be returning for more kayaking with Zach - you never know what birds you'll see on any given day! Thanks, Zach!
