We had such a wonderful time with Ned and his team over the weekend. They are amazing teachers, so it was perfect for my family who were all going out on the paddle boards for their first time. This experience is really something that ANYONE can do and really SHOULD try at least once...or twice... or three times! We will be booking with Paddleboard Orlando again for their beach adventure!

Highlight of our FL trip for sure! Had an absolutely perfect day out on the water! Our family of 8 (ages 11-67) all had an incredible time. We saw so many manatees and they were all so interactive, curious and adorable. All of the guides were absolutely fantastic!!! They were so knowledgeable and fun and so kind and attentive to my four children. Could not have been a better experience! We will be back for sure!!

Great experience with great people! We saw plenty of manatees and some other wildlife. Our guides, Ned and Jenna, were great company and took lots of photos that we were able to get from the Paddleboard Orlando Facebook page. Would highly recommend.
