Never thought it could be so GREAT! - I had an amazing experience with PADL. It was my first time and everyone been very very welcoming and relaxed. Bryan who led the group was fantastic! He was giving clear and valuable instructions first on the ground and then supporting on the water. Super knowledgeable, patient and made it so easy and fun for beginners like me. And we saw dolphins and manatees💞 Can’t wait for the next time. And it’s so easy to rent in many locations once you are comfortable on your own.

Thank you to Diego and team - This place was wonderful! We paddled for a while and it was such a gorgeous experience. When a storm rolled in, the staff, Diego and his team, were incredibly helpful, quickly stepping in to take the board from us and making sure we were safe. Truly excellent service all around.

Girl Scout SUP adventure - We went with a group of Girl Scouts this past Saturday and had a lovely time. Most of us new to SUP and the guides were super helpful, knowledgeable about the sport and the surroundings. Highly recommend a visit!

Majestic Manatees - We had the most amazing experience paddling and kayaking alongside the majestic manatees. A real find if you are looking to get up close and personal to these incredibly graceful creatures at this time of year! Thank you!!

Terrible Services. Beware. - This was probably the worst paddle boarding experience I have ever had. The staff are rude and glued to their phones. No one is available to help. The most helpful people were the park staff. From the gatehouse to the lifeguards. The concession staff were terrible. We are two women in our 60s, we could not lift the paddle boards alone from their self serve kiosk. The staff did not understand and brushed us off. They insisted we used our phones to rent the boards. We had driven over an hour here and so we had to team up to get the boards from the kiosks ourselves. No one told us not to leave the small lake, we were blown all over the place to the point the lifeguards helped us come back by land with the boards. The staff then proceeded to ask us why we would even paddle board if we weren't capable. Excuse me??????? NEVER AGAIN.
