Since 2010, Tula Paddle Sports has been guiding guests to their happy place on the tranquil waterways of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. WPA and ACA certified instructors pair fresh, top-tier gear with a laid-back, safety-first spirit...
Tula delivers exactly what paddlers are looking for: flexible, friendly service that gets you on the water with minimal fuss. Staff members like Lindsay, Isa, and Kristin consistently earn praise for being accommodating and going the extra mile. Multiple reviewers mention last-minute bookings handled smoothly, flexible scheduling when situations change, and genuine helpfulness whether you're a first-timer or experienced paddler. The online booking system works well, equipment arrives ready when promised, and the team clearly knows their locations and conditions. The operation runs smoothly most of the time, though there was one weather-related cancellation that came later than ideal, causing some frustration for a guest who'd already driven to the park. That appears to be an isolated incident rather than a pattern. What really stands out across reviews is how problem-solving these folks are—switching locations when a park filled up on July 4th, accommodating last-minute party size changes, and even arranging overnight rentals with flexibility. If you want straightforward paddling without drama and staff who actually care about your experience, this is a solid choice.
We rented kayaks. Lindsay was very nice and helpful. We called to see if there were kayaks available for the same day. Lindsay took my reservation over the phone, and she met us shortly after. I definitely recommend renting from them.
