okefenokee swamp 1-2 day tours

We heard of a place but do not know the name that offers canoe as well as a guided power boat 1,2 and 3 night tours staying in Air Conditioned cabins in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia.
Can you help!! Thanks.

starrsville; Yes, there are several cabin operations that offer A/C but the one I saw about 2 months ago, that I cannot remember, was also a touring operation, with both guided and self-guided kayak and canoe trips for 1-3 days, each day reurning to the cabin base which had a restaurant as well. They also had 1 guided motor boat for a maximum of 4 so it did not need much horsepower and silensors to keep the noise muted along with a guide and with 2 couples we paid daily for the boat and guide (extra $100 for the 4 of us).

Thanks but still have not found it. But, I found out the swamp is too low due to draught for any motor boats and even for canoes going alone into interesting depths of swamp because of low water levels. They do not expect it to improve for at least 6-8 months. They suggest May 2008.

This is weird. A segment just came on GPB on the Okefenokee swamp. Weird timing.
