    Review summary

    Rachelle and Craig run a standout paddleboarding operation that consistently delivers exceptional experiences across multiple Florida springs and waterways. Guests rave about both guides' welcoming personalities, extensive knowledge of local wildlife and history, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable on the water, regardless of experience level. The tours attract everyone from first-timers to seasoned paddlers, and the guides excel at spotting wildlife—manatees, otters, dolphins, gators, and various birds are frequently mentioned. What really sets this operation apart is the attention to detail and relaxed atmosphere. Equipment is set up before arrival, boards are high quality (including SUPs with seats), and guides take photos throughout so guests can stay present. The personable, laid-back approach creates memorable experiences rather than rushed tours. Multiple reviewers mention booking again or planning return visits, with locations including Winter Park, Rainbow Springs, Silver Springs, and Merritt Island all receiving enthusiastic praise. It's clearly a family-run business that treats guests like friends.

    We had the best experience with our paddle board tour at Rainbow Springs! Our guide was absolutely amazing — it honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She made us feel so comfortable, kept the vibe fun and relaxed, and went above and beyond taking the most beautiful photos and videos for us. It turned into a private tour by chance, and we couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. Highly recommend Otter Paddle Orlando — 10/10 experience from start to finish!
