Customer Reviews
As others have said this is a great spot for beginners. The canal has calm waters so you can work on your technique and feel comfortable before hitting the ocean. We went to celebrate a birthday. Danny put us in the water and gave us some instruction and tips. We left on knees and shortly thereafter were standing and paddling with ease. My mate plunged into the water a few times but I think he did that just to splash around. Paddling along the nabe with waterfront homes is cool and there are signs to watch out for manatees and directional signs to and from the intracoastal. We signed up for two hours and it was definitely a workout. Keep in mind as you go out further you WILL have to paddle back so be aware of your distance and time. Bring a water proof pouch for your car key/phone or you can buy one from the shop. Great experience!
Great way to exercise and be on the beautiful water at the same time. The guides are young and fun! Fantastic backyard views along the intracoastal and an occasional dog greeting! Relaxing and fun; you should try it!
