$550

Discover one of the countries truly hidden photography gems, the Georgia Golden Isles.

From beautiful driftwood at sunset, to architectural ruins, the photographic opportunities are endless! We’ll be venturing to three islands; Cumberland Island to visit the wild horses, Saint Simons for beautiful piers and great food, and Jekyll Island for the infamous Driftwood Beach.

Where We’re Staying

We will be staying at the Ocean View Hotel and Suites on Saint Simons Island. You will book your own stay at the hotel to choose the best room for you. Prices from April 10 - 13 start at about $150/night, $500 for the entire length of the stay. However, there are many room options to choose from if you are traveling in a group! Click here to check prices and book.

How we’re getting around

Each day, we’ll meet in front of the hotel to board a passenger van as Sara chauffeurs you to each island!

Where we’ll eat

Saint Simons has some of the very best food on the Island. You’re welcome to find breakfast each say at many of the island’s cafes, and each night we’ll join for dinner.
