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

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.

Best SUP tour and route to experience around Orlando. Ned was a great guide and took me to some great spots while describing the local history and some other great places to check out. We had a chance to see tons of wildlife native to the area. Baby crocs, turtles, herons, schools of tilapia and a few gar. I would definitely recommend and repeat a visit to Wekiva Island for a great day trip adventure.

Just had a fantastic morning with Ned. None of us had paddleboarded more than a couple of times before but that made no difference. Ned gave us great instruction and we all had an amazing time. Beautiful place to go paddleboarding and Ned is a great guide and good fun to be with. Will definitely be back!

I messaged Ned a few months before we visited to ask some questions about which trip would be best for our group of 6 (that included two 7 year olds). Neds communication and recommendations were great from the start! The booking process was really easy too. We had a fantastic morning of paddling with Ned and Hope at Wekiva Island yesterday. A wonderful experience creating memories that will last a lifetime! Paddle boarding in the UK certainly isn’t going to quite feel the same anymore….we saw turtles, herons, kites, gators (not the ones that like to eat humans!) and lots of fish! There’s also an opportunity to take a refreshing swim half way along the paddle too. The set up at Wekiva Island is brilliant. A really fun activity to do…..couldn’t recommend Paddleboard Orlando highly enough. Thank you!

Had an amazing experience on wekiwa river with Ned today!! Highly recommend. It was our first paddle boarding and he made it simple and fun!!

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.

Uncle Ned was great!! Gave us an awesome newbie demo and off we went! Had a blast and we are looking forward to Paddleboarding with Uncke Ned again!!

We picked this adventure through Marriott Bonvoy activities in Orlando and it was awesome!! Ned was friendly, outgoing, patient, and a great instructor/guide. What a great experience paddle boarding in this amazing place. We will definitely do this again with Ned next time we are in town. Thanks Ned!!!!

One of the best excursions we’ve ever done!! Many times, the guide can make or break an experience, and Ned was the best! He was helpful, kind, hilarious and always had safety in mind. Thanks for a great time!!

I figured I would enjoy myself, but Uncle Ned gives the most amazing paddle board trip ever! He’s a super encouraging guide who helps you navigate the twists and turns of this beautiful river. The scenery alone is worth the trip. You will no doubt enjoy yourself if you book the Emerald Cut excursion!

This was an amazing experience and so fun . If your looking for a place to go paddle boarding go with paddle board Orlando .

We did the Wekiva Springs tour fot the second time. First time was 2,5 years ago. Again this was a super experience and a great adventure. Went up to Rock Springs for a bit and did a hike aroud the spring. We’ve seen several birds, alligators and turtles. Thanks Ned and Jenna for this superb trip!!

Gorgeous place with great instructors and guides. Ned, Tom, and Jenna are able to meet the needs of SUPers of all levels and they enjoy showing people this incredible place and teaching a new sport. They are kind, fun and respectful without being unctuous. I really appreciated their expertise and would love to go back when the manatees are around! (Also, pro-tip: the tour leaves from the private Wekiva Island, not the state park! Thank you, Ned, for saving our butts and giving us a ride to the right place!)

What an amazing day with Orlando Paddleboard!! The instructors were professional, caring, and funny. Even though it was just our first time in Orlando and first time paddle board at all, we had absolutely the best time. The afternoon with these guys/gals made our short 3 day trip and the only regret was that we didn't have time to book another advanced trip. Will be back!!

Fantastic Fun filled morning for all levels!! Ned and Jenna are not only attentive, experienced and knowledgeable they are a ton of fun!! The paddle is beautiful and the stop at Wekiva Springs adds to the adventure. Lots of laughs and lots of peace and beauty. Highly highly recommend this activity. This is a top "must do" Florida adventure!!

If Cruising down a spring fed, jungle-like river with lots of birds, turtles, and small alligators to spot sounds fun, this excursion is for you! Had a blast and lots of laughs with Ned and Jenna. You can tell they love people and have a heart for introducing folks to a new sport! “Shooting the crack” is an experience not to be missed and unique to Wekiva Springs. The boards are stable and fun to paddle, ANYONE can do it! Give it a try! Before you know it you will be joining this crew again and again! Ned goes above and beyond for his paddlers and even helped locate a set of lost car keys for us! We will be back again for another adventure soon (minus the key issue haha).

We had a great time paddling with Uncle Ned and Jena! It was our first time trying this and they made it very easy. They are very thorough, attentive, knowledgeable and super fun. We can hardly wait to do more trips with them!

Ned, Ann, and Amy were wonderful guides/helpers. This was only our 2nd time on paddleboards. Steering around logs, other kayakers, bends in the river, were challenges, that made it more interesting and really gave you a feeling of much accomplishment. The added "thrill" of watching Ned and others swim through the crack at the springs, made it a day to remember!!

We had fifteen family members from age 10 to 76 and everyone had a wonderful time. The instructors were patient and helpful. I would highly recommend this as your next family gathering. Tom's pictures captured the smiles on everyone's faces. Thanks Paddleboard Orlando for helping us make memories.
