Located at 113 Saint Marys Street West in the charming town of St. Marys, Georgia, our travel agency is dedicated to providing you with an unforgettable experience on Cumberland Island.

Cumberland Island, accessible only by boat, is a mere seven miles east of St. Marys. Begin your journey with a scenic 45-minute ferry ride that departs from downtown St. Marys, offering round-trip transportation to this captivating island year-round. Our concession-operated passenger ferry ensures a comfortable and pleasant journey, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the surrounding waters.

Once on Cumberland Island, you'll find yourself amid pristine maritime forests, untouched beaches, and expansive marshes that echo the stories of the island's rich history. From natives and missionaries to plantation owners and industrialists, many have left their mark on this unique landscape. Explore over 50 miles of trails and roads, or relax on 18 miles of undeveloped beaches. Hiking, biking, camping, and beachcombing await as you discover the island's natural wonders.

Back in St. Marys, the National Historic District offers lodging, dining, and attractions, making it the perfect starting point for your adventure. Enhance your visit with interpretive and educational programs that share the compelling stories of Cumberland Island and its historical significance.

Whether you're captivated by the wild horses, enchanted by the maritime forests, or intrigued by the island's history, Cumberland Island National Seashore is a must-see destination. Book your ferry tickets in advance, as spots fill quickly, and prepare for a day of exploration and discovery. Remember to bring comfortable shoes, bug spray, sunscreen, and plenty of water and food, as there are no facilities on the island.

Please note our cancellation and refund policies when planning your visit. Only service animals as per ADA guidelines are allowed on the ferry. We look forward to welcoming you to Cumberland Island and helping you create lasting memories on Georgia's beautiful coast.

Mike Elliott:

"Beautiful interior and exterior building inline with local decor. Only giving this 4 Stars due to operating hours. If you plan to max your day on the island, based on ferry schedule, you’ll only have about 20 minutes to visit walked the VC and gift shop. That would be if you take the first and last ferry of the day; the 9a and 430p return. VC hours are 8a-4p. Besides that everyone working there was friendly and helpful. Lastly, MAKE SURE you have everything you need before getting onto the ferry, there is NOTHING available to buy on the island."

"Beautiful island with seashore. You will have to take a somewhat pricey ($20 per ticket one way) ferry to the island but it is worth it. Because of the ferry the island does not have a lot of visitors at one time so it is not crowded. Saw lots of wild horses, crabs, maybe an alligator.... Definitely worth a full day visit."

"Great place. I would recommend taking a canopy for the sun or atleast an umbrella, also a cooler with drinks. Buy tickets in advance and rent bikes too. Bring a mosquito repellant and sun screen and watch out for ticks."

"This is an absolute must visit if you love nature, the beach, and have wild horses on your bucketlist! A great day long adventure out on the ferry, exploring the island, and relaxing with a picnic lunch on the beach. Saw wild horses, dolohins, armadillos, and lots of birds and lizards. Be prepared to walk with lots of water, comfortable shoes, and food. So glad we got to this beautiful island!"
