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.
Our family- group of five had the best time paddling through Winter Park. Its enjoyable for all ages. It was very scenic and our guide made it easy to learn. Our guide Rachelle was very informative and we all kearned something. We'll definitely do this again.
