GOLDEN ISLES OF GEORGIA
APRIL 8TH - 14TH 2012
Georgia's Golden Isles offer the ultimate resort escape to one of the undiscovered island corners of America. The Golden Isles of Georgia is a collective name for Jekyll, St. Simons, and Sea Islands, explored by Spaniards over 400 years ago. “Golden Isles” is a place of beauty and wonder just waiting to be discovered.
1 GEORGIA | ST. SIMONS ISLAND:
This morning we journey to the east coast's fantasy islands, the Golden Isles of Georgia. This afternoon we arrive at St. Simons Island. We spend our next three nights here.
2 ST. SIMONS ISLAND TOUR | PLANTATIONS | VILLAGE SHOPS | DINNER:
This morning we depart on a tour of St. Simons Island. Five flags have flown over St. Simons: Spanish, French, British, United States and Confederate States of America, and elements of each culture remain. See and learn about the plantations that flourished here from 1800 until the Civil War. We visit the colonial town of Fort Frederica, one of the largest and most expensive forts ever built by the British in North America. This afternoon you will have time to wander through the village streets and shop in the quaint stores. Tonight we enjoy dinner together at a local restaurant.

Today we’ll tour Hofwyl Plantation with its sweeping views of the Altamaha Delta. After lunch we tour Jekyll Island with ten miles of sparkling beaches and oak-graced beauty. We visit the famous Millionaires' Village, playground for America's industrial elite from the 1880’s until World War II. Tour the opulent former homes of the Rockefellers, Morgans and Goulds. We enjoy a delightful dinner together this evening.

Today we travel to beautiful Hilton Head Island Harbor where we take a narrated sightseeing and dolphin cruise. We hope to catch a glimpse of bottle-nosed dolphins along the coastline, spectacular homes and yachts. Following the cruise, we travel to historic Savannah where we’ll have time to explore the historic City Market area and have an included dinner at one of the city’s well-known restaurants.
5 SAVANNAH TROLLEY TOUR | HOME:
