Highlights

344 NE Ivanhoe Blvd - NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! We love beginners. We’ll meet at the boat ramp at Lake Ivanhoe, one of Orlando’s most beautiful spring-fed (and critter free) waterways. We will teach you to Stand Up Paddle and have you feeling like a pro in no time. We’ll stay by your side and take lots of pictures of your experience as we guide you through the lake for an awesome, memorable experience.

This is a great way to enjoy nature safely. The whole family can enjoy time on the water together because we have a vessel for everyone. We usually see fish, otters, turtles, birds, and more. We do not see alligators or manatees on this lake. When you leave this experience you will have a new skill you can take on many new adventures in the future!

Choose the time that works for you, we have multiple tours every day.

We have Clear Paddleboards, Clear 2-Person Kayaks, regular paddleboards, kayaks, and 2-Person Kayaks.

Plan to stay right here in the Ivanhoe Village after your tour. There is a playground for little kids or borrow a volleyball and play on the sand volleyball court. We have amazing restaurants, gift shops and antique shops right here in the Ivanhoe Village.

Peaceful and tranquil - Our Tour guide Richard was nothing but the best and informative person to help me get through my first time Kayaking. Not only did he make it special for my Girlfriend's Birthday. But his carefree spirit made it more relaxing and enjoyable. And I will definitely do it again....

My friend and I were a... - My friend and I were a bit hesitant about paddleboarding because it was our first time for both of us. However, we were very glad we took the chance because Jenny was extremely helpful and friendly with the whole paddleboard-beginner process and made our time worth it :)

In Love with Paddleboarding! - This was my first time Paddleboarding, my guides Rich and Aaron were fantastic! They taught me how to navigate very fast and made me feel safe throughout the process. It was a fabulous experience and felt like hanging out with friends, not to mention the view was fantastic! I am even considering purchasing my own paddleboard :)

Lovely - Jennifer and Bob were wonderful guides who made the whole experience superb. I had kayaked before but wanted to learn how to paddle board. It was easier than I thought it would be and I had a great time on the water with the group. The guides shared information about the location as well as about paddle boarding. The experience was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Easy paddle in city setting - Superior guide and excellent in-city experience. Kayaks were easy to manipulate and Aaron was an affable guide - interesting homes along the shoreline.
