Custom Rentals & Shuttles
Whether you rent from us, have your own equipment, or are hiking the Florida Trail, we have your ride covered. Our vans travel from the Outpost to the Okefenokee Swamp and other parts of Georgia, to the Town of Suwannee, Florida, and nearly everywhere in between. Call for help planning routes, river conditions, camping, drop-offs, pickups, and pricing.
Tailored shuttles and rentals
For overnight and multi-day rentals, we strongly recommend canoes because they provide the most stability and storage space for camping equipment and additional gear.
If you only need transportation, we can haul your non-motorized vessel, drivers or hikers traveling without equipment, or an entire flotilla with its gear and supplies.
Rental rates are per vessel, while shuttle rates are based on the applicable route and group size. Renters should combine their vessel rental with the shuttle price for the selected launch and take-out. Custom group pricing may be available for groups of at least 20 people.
Paddlecraft rental rates
Rates are per vessel. Shuttle transportation is not included and should be added based on your route and group size.

Suwannee River shuttle rates
The chart below covers frequently used Suwannee River access points. Prices are based on a one-way shuttle beginning or ending at the Outpost and the number of people in the group. Multiple-stop itineraries and trips requiring two shuttles may incur additional fees.
Guests using their own equipment can meet us with their vehicle at the take-out. We can then transport the group and equipment to the put-in, allowing everyone to paddle back to the vehicle at their own pace.
