Ethan is awesome! - Our guide Ethan was awesome! He did a great job getting everyone oriented on shore, both for the experienced paddlers in our group and for those that were new to the sport. Once we left the beach he was very supportive of those that were still on their knees, and had everyone paddling with confidence in about ten minutes. He took a lot of photos for us, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable experience! -
This is by far the best paddle boarding experience in Palm Beach County. Our guide was welcoming and knowledgeable about the wind/tide. Everything was explained so we could have a fun, but safe time on the water. From the moment we stepped onto the boards everything was perfection. The water was crystal clear and the area so serene. Marine life plentiful with manatees, sea turtles and stingrays. Can’t wait to go again. This is an experience not to miss while visiting the area.

AMAZING!!!! 100% recommend - This was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had! It was our first time paddle boarding and Marissa made it such a fun time! She knew so much about the marine life and we got to see so many types of animals! It was also a surprise that she took pictures of us (which turned out incredible). I would 100% recommend this tour to any beginner or anyone looking to enjoy something outdoors with animals!

Don’t miss this magical tour - My tour with South Florida Paddle (Marissa) was absolutely amazing. Marissa is very knowledgeable about the area, knows where to look for certain animals and is so good at spotting and identifying the sea creatures. I was literally paddling right over a sea turtle but would not have known if I was by myself. We saw a manatee, two sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, star fish, nine armed sea stars, and many tropical fish. At one point she said it’s like paddling over an aquarium and it is so true- magic. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Sunrise Paddle Boarding Adventure in Jupiter - My friend and I went out with Marissa for a two hour private paddle board excursion. Marissa was kind, patient, very knowledgeable about the eco-system and most importantly she made sure we both felt safe and confident on our boards. It was a windy day and while some areas were a bit challenging, Marissa was able to provide options so we could customize our experience. My friend was a new paddle boarder and within the first 30 minutes, she was up on her board and stayed this way for the remainder of the tour. I highly recommend Marissa and her company. She exceeded our expectations.
