Florida Paddleboard Tours

Winter Park Venetian Canal Tour

Get a taste of Venice, right in the heart of Orlando! These blissful, Venetian-like canals are lined and canopied with lush, tropical flora and fauna. Gliding atop clear water you’ll spot turtles, fish, anhinga and cormorants. The gorgeous lakes boast beautiful estates (some owned by celebrities) and historic homes and bridges. Once we launch you’ll feel instantly transported to another place in another time!

Shingle Creek Tour

Experience a real Florida swamp, and the headwaters of the Everglades, conveniently located in west Orlando! Feel transported back in time as we explore a liquid trail and literally paddle through a dense cypress and oak tree forest. These massive trees provide lots of shade, are decorated in air plants, native orchids and other flowers, and are home to tons of wildlife, including many species of birds, fish, and turtles!

Blue Springs Manatee Tour

Paddle with manatees!  With temperatures at a constant 72 degrees, Blue Spring is a safe haven and designated refuge for the West Indian manatee. From November to March, manatee numbers are in the hundreds, making this a popular spot to view them in their natural habitat from the spring run viewing decks.  But we won’t stop there - for a potential up-close and personal encounter, we’ll paddle the St. Johns River so the curious sea cows can come say hello! From April to October, Blue Springs Run is open midway to paddlers so we can hopefully spot the occasional manatee. The bonus of this season is we can swim and snorkel the gorgeous, crystal clear spring head to cool off and refresh! Paddling the St. John’s River is an adventure itself with a real Florida feel, surrounded by nature, a ton of birds, and the occasional alligator.

Space Coast Bioluminescence Tour

You will be amazed as every movement of water created by you, your paddle craft, and sea creatures produces a stunning fluorescent glow! Jumping mullet look like underwater fireworks, and your splashing paddle is like neon paint splatter! This is a night paddle on the Space Coast, one of the few places on earth this occurs - no need to travel to Puerto Rico or Thailand! The beautiful trail of light is created by tiny natural organisms called dinoflagellates that thrive during the warmest summer months, making this a seasonal tour. This adventure is super unique, will captivate, and leave you buzzing for days to come!

Rock Springs Run Tour

This adventure will guide you atop Florida’s famous crystal-clear waterways where water flows from the aquifer (underground) to the surface.  The Rock Springs Run begins near the headwaters of Rock Springs and flows 8 miles down river with narrow switchback waters through the tropical jungle. We’ll get your blood pumping right from the start on the local jump tree! Then, gliding with the current your senses will peak, surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna, tons of birds, reptiles, fish, and the occasional otter. The Run leads us to the Wekiwa River which opens a bit wider and we’ll paddle up to the springs. Diving into this turquoise swimming hole so clear you’ll feel like you’re in a giant aquarium.  At a year-round 72 degrees, swimming here is the perfect way to refresh after our paddle. Then we’ll cruise a short distance to Wekiwa Island, to refuel at this local riverfront establishment with food, libations, and relaxation.

Emerald Cut Tour

Named for it's incredible water color, this tour begins near the headwaters of Rock Springs (where water flows from the underground aquifer to the surface), so this entire paddle is atop stunning crystal-clear water with a white sand bottom. Paddling upstream with fresh muscles, we’ll navigate the gentle current amongst the narrow, canopied trail, bordered by beautiful flora and fauna. If we’re quiet we’ll spot turtles, deer, birds, and the occasional otter. We’ll stop at a small beach to relax and cool off in a waist deep, emerald pool, then make our way effortlessly back, cruising with the current. We’ll finish the adventure with a bang on the local jump tree and cleanse in the swimming hole. Your ticket fee includes Kings Landing launch fee.

Banana River

Dolphin & Manatee Tour

Paddle with dolphins and manatees! There’s nothing more spiritual than a close encounter with these marine mammals in their natural habitat. They’re very curious animals and often come over to say hello. We know the the spots where they love to hang out, so although sitings are not guaranteed, they are more than likely to happen. The river is also home to jumping mullet, catfish, gar, sting rays, and many species of birds. Book your tour and make life-long memories today!

A primal experience you won't forget as we paddle at night under the light of the shining stars and full moon. Beginning at sunset so you may acclimate to your surroundings and enjoy the colorful display, we’ll launch our boards and begin paddling as we wait for the moon to creep up over the tree line. Then bask in its glow as we glide on a dancing, celestial reflection. In the dim light, sounds are enhanced and we’ll hear the peaceful melodies of frogs, crickets, whipporwills, and more. Discover the natural side of Orlando's nightlife on this memorable adventure!
