Had a blast and lots of laughs with Ned and Jenna. You can tell they love people and have a heart for introducing folks to a new sport! “Shooting the crack” is an experience not to be missed and unique to Wekiva Springs. The boards are stable and fun to paddle, ANYONE can do it! Give it a try! Before you know it you will be joining this crew again and again! Ned goes above and beyond for his paddlers and even helped locate a set of lost car keys for us! We will be back again for another adventure soon (minus the key issue haha). read less - 3/11/2021

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! read less - 2/22/2021

Ned came highly recommended from family living in the area. We were blown away by his knowledge of the area and animals and how compassionate he is both as a business owner and how he treats his clients! Certainly a top notch outfit! And the manatees were so active! It was a great homeschool
Lesson for sure!

I've been on three of their tours in the past couple years and rented SUPs from them when they were located on Lake Killarney. I've been on their Wekiva Springs tours and their historic canals tour around Winter Park. I can't recommend these guys enough. Paddleboard Orlando is a small owner-managed company with fun and varied excursions and top notch service. They are very well equipped with great boards and run fun tours. In my personal experience they are they the superior operator in the area! I'm looking forward to being back on one of their tours very soon! read less - 1/07/2021

We were all first timers and easily navigated the lakes and canals on the Urban Trail that takes you along the lakeshores of Lake Virginia and Lake Osceola where you will see impressive and stately houses on the water. Uncle Ned had warned us that the feet are the first thing to tire out for first timers whereas I had expected it to be my cardiovascular system or back muscles. One adult did experience sore feet, the two adults who regularly practice yoga didn't experience this.
Uncle Ned and Jenna are both fun people and their enthusiasm for paddleboarding and life really made a difference to our overall experience. I'm glad that we paid for a private tour with them vs. just renting boards. I expect ti is equally fun to join one of their group tours. Uncle Ned also owns the company that makes the paddleboards you'll be riding upon. read less - 12/29/2020

He had never been on a paddle board before, and I had only stood on my friend's board in her pool one time, so we were definitely first-timers! Ned, Tom, Jenna, and Scott made us feel completely welcome and comfortable as they introduced us to the basics on shore. They were as hands-on or as hands-off as each person needed, from getting up onto the board to helping anyone who fell into the water get back up. They provided advice and encouragement as we paddled through the lakes and canal, and even made sure to space themselves out among the group so nobody would feel left behind. The equipment was easy to use, and the scenery was gorgeous, but the tour guides are absolutely what made this experience so wonderful, not to mention fun! I would 100% recommend joining these guys. We'll definitely join them again in the future! read less - 10/05/2020
