Sapelo Island Tours (JR Grovner)
Offering daily tours of Sapelo Island
With Sapelo Tours you experience more than just a tour of Sapelo Island... you go on a journey! Take a Journey of Sapelo Island with JR Grovner, a direct descendant of slaves brought to Sapelo in the early 1800s to work the plantations.
What to expect
JR Grovner is a native of Sapelo Island and knows the island like the back of his palm with years of guiding experience.
Explore Native American shell mounds, visit the tabby ruins of an old French estate, check out Nannygoat Beach, tabby ruins of the slave cabins, and see the newly-restored Sapelo Lighthouse.
You can only reach Sapelo Island by boat… either that or a grueling 7 mile swim across the intracoastal. So your half-day Sapelo tour begins with a 25-minute dolphin- and pelican-sighting “mini-cruise” from Meridian Dock. Your tour guide, JR Grovner, was raised on Sapelo Island. For eight generations, JR’s family has called Sapelo home. For deep insights into the Georgia coast, Sapelo Island, its natural beauty, and its fascinating human history, you just can’t do better.
