Experience the Magic of the Season at Okefenokee Swamp Park!
Spend a memorable day and evening immersed in nature and holiday cheer at the beautiful and wild Okefenokee Swamp. Enjoy a full lineup of guided adventures, including a kayak tour, motorboat tour, train ride, and nature show—all leading up to the enchanting Holiday Lights Train Ride after sunset!

Event activities will take place at scheduled times, with a detailed itinerary provided at check-in. After the daytime tours, the park will briefly close to prepare for the evening festivities. During this time, guests are encouraged to grab dinner in Waycross, located just 11 miles away, before returning for the magical evening experience.

“Climb aboard the Holiday Train Ride and journey through a twinkling trail of sparkling displays beneath the stars.”

This festive outdoor adventure is open to all experience levels. Please bring a packed lunch or snacks, and drinking water. Our guides will assist guests with kayak fitting and ensure a comfortable experience for all. Light concessions will also be available at the park.

Dress comfortably and in layers—temperatures can vary throughout the day. Sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, and bug spray are recommended for daytime activities, while jackets, blankets, and warm accessories are perfect for the chilly evening train ride.

After your ride, feel free to explore and enjoy the beautifully lit holiday grounds at your leisure.
