Davis Creek Kayak Tour . . .

Davis Creek is a great spot for paddling around in a kayak or paddleboard. We will sometimes even offer a guided kayak tour, but our guests usually just pick a kayak and take the adventure on their own.




The creek is a great nursery for small fish, sharks, and rays. And on the way out of the mouth has got some excellent snorkeling. Just pull the kayak up on the beach and snorkel till your heart's content!

It's a great activity for any day of the week and great for all ages!

The dogs of Small Hope Bay Lodge.................

Guest services goes beyond the human staff at Small Hope. Small Hope’s two resident dogs, Rex and Sarah, like to chip in now and then as running companion or beach tour guides. One afternoon last week we became the first guests to test their river guiding skills.



Rex leading the way



Sara guiding the way

As we entered Davis Creek for a kayak paddle, we were met by both dogs as they enjoyed racing across the flooded sand bars. Soon though, it was all business for Rex as he decided it was his job to guide us up Davis Creek, swimming ahead of the kayak. Rex and Sarah earned a special dinner treat for creating such a fun experience and ensuring we did not get lost in the mangroves.
