We were looking for something new to do in Orlando besides the amusement parks. I had never done stand up paddleboard before, and my sons had only tried it briefly before. The instructors were very friendly and helpful. They had us going in no time. Wekiva Island and Springs were beautiful. I can't believe I that such pristine nature exists so close to Orlando. The water was cool, clear, and refreshing. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a little adventure in Orlando. We will definitely try this again.

Absolutely amazing! We had so much fun, with out a doubt the highlight of our Orlando vacation. Not only the paddle boarding, the location is prime and the scenery and the wildlife blew us away, totall SUP safari! The equipment was spot on and guide was a blast and a total pro, totally made our day, absolutely superb!

Had an amazing time paddle boarding the Wekiva River with Paddleboard Orlando! The scenery was beautiful, so peaceful being on the river during a week day. Ned gave us great instruction which after a couple strokes, I felt like I'd been paddle boarding forever. Ned is a giant kid, he enjoys life to the fullest which made it more fun for us too! It was such a great paddle, hated for it to end! I will be back soon.

What an amazing day! Our previous paddle boarding experience was limited to none. My two kids (21 and 19) had a little experience, my wife and I were first timers. Ned is a great guy and explained everything. We got started with a lesson and got started. Wekiwa Springs is an excellent first timers route. My kids had a blast and my wife and I enjoyed it a lot too! We saw a couple of gator sunning themselves on the shore along with some turtles swimming along in the water. All and all a fantastic day and the highlight of my kids week in Orlando!

WOW.. my sis-in-law recommended we do this on our next FL trip. Needless to say we will be back to do it again. What a great fun time for grownups and kids alike. A nice relaxing paddle up stream, turtles, gators, birds, fish and otters. Then a fun swim @Wekiva Springs and return to Wekiva Island. NED or Uncle Ned was the best. Taught all of us how to board and was great with the kids. After a fun time paddle boarding try some great eats at the Without A Paddle Cafe.. Definitely a must do while in Orlando. Thanks Ned!!

I have no words other than magical ! We booked a paddleboard tour with uncle Ned after reading a few reviews. I love paddleboarding and been to quite a few places but this one will be hard to beat. The views are out of this world! Picturesque ! You feel you are in a tropical forest and all this with beautiful clear water ! I must say what made the day even more special was Uncle Ned :) He is passionate about the place and the sport . It's not just a job for him! Our day was filled with laughter, smiles and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks Ned for the incredible day! We will see you next time we are here!!!! Take care, Shirley

I had the opportunity to paddle with Ned at Wekiva Island during a past Surf Expo. These guys completely live up to the hype and then some! The equipment was high quality and well maintained, the guided tour was incredible with beautiful and unique scenery (the Wekiva River is a must visit destination if you like the outdoors, and especially paddlesports), and the company was wonderful. Ned makes everyone feel like you're an old friend. Full disclosure, I'm the owner of a paddleboard shop/experience provider as well, and during my time on the water with PBO, I paddled with another SUP shop owner from Maine. We both agreed that Ned and PBO set the bar high for our industry. Thank you for the amazing experience Paddleboard Orlando!

Such a great paddle with Ned who is also a great guide ! Would go back again. Easy to get to and amenities right on site. Less than an hour drive from the Orlando area to a hidden oasis.

What a great trip! The paddleboard instruction was superb—I figured it out and learned the right technique. Ned taught me some more challenging moves too. The wildlife was amazing—night herons, green herons, turtles. You should book now.
