I try to squeeze in some SUP wherever I travel if possible, so was delighted to find Doo’s tour on Viator. Although we didn’t see any dolphins this day, Bird Island was amazing and I enjoyed seeing neighborhoods from the water. She did a great job navigating us around, was prepared with water for us to drink as it was July, and took some great pics for me. Would definitely recommend.

Doo was so great! She was very knowledgeable about the plant and animal life as well as the local history. We booked our tour last minute, the night before, and are so glad we did. Doo was very accommodating when we got there with sunscreen and water for us and was willing to hold things like our phones and car keys, as well as waterproof phone holders. She also took lots of pictures for us! None of this was necessarily included, but she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend!

This was the first time my sister and I had been on a paddle board. Louisa was fantastic and patient with us. We had an amazing time paddling around the preserve area. We saw numerous species of birds and even some dolphins. Highly recommend this experience.

This was our first time paddleboarding and we had an amazing time! Our guide was helpful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Paddleboarding was much easier than we expected, and our guide was flexible with how and where we wanted to paddle. We saw a dolphin and a ton of different birds at Bird Island, and even got to go out to the bay. This was the perfect first paddleboarding experience as well as a great tour for seasoned paddlers. Highly recommend and definitely worth it!

What a fabulous day with Louisa (Doo)! Such a warm personality. She made sure we were comfortable on our boards before heading out. Very knowledgeable not only about the paddle boarding area (birds, vegetation, fish, manatees and dolphins), but also about St. Petersburg in general. I feel very confident in not only booking another tour, but also recommending her to friends and family.

What a great way to spend the morning and the beginning of our vacation. Loved bird island! Louisa was super knowledgeable of the area and all the wild life. Relaxing pace and a great workout. I’d recommend this to anyone who needs a break from the beach.

Tour guide did a phenomenal job taking care of us and giving us noobies the time/pointers necessary to be successful. It was an overall relaxing, pleasurable experience and would recommend to others -Definitely plan around the peak hear hours however.

Louisa is an excellent paddleboard instructor and guide. She is knowledgeable in all manner of local flora and fauna, so it was educational as well! We were fortunate to encounter a devil ray, many manatees and scores of birds on bird island. The paddleboard trip was easily the most enjoyable outing of our vacation. Would absolutely recommend Doos to anyone and everyone! Thanks Louisa!

We loved the guides knowledge of the area and the animals. Especially seeing manatees and bird island.

I got this as a gift for my dad’s birthday and it was so much fun! Doo was incredibly knowledgeable about our local ecosystems and we had a great time highly recommend we even saw manatees!

This was such a fun and thrilling experience! Our tour had several manatees around us and even going underneath our boards, which was SO COOL! Even for one of us who was a little more scared 😊 Our tour guide, Louisa, was super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the manatees/local birds and surrounding area. She even captured pictures and videos for us to enjoy. We want to purchase paddle boards now! HIGHLY recommend. 🤍

We enjoyed our paddle boarding tour very much. Although complete newbies, we felt confident very soon. It was fun, relaxing, and a good exercise at the same time. We saw many bird spieces too. Louisa was wonderful and introduced us to the wildlife and historical sighs of the area. She also took wonderful pictures for us! We highly recommend this tour!

First timers on SUPs Our guide Louisa was very helpful in getting us comfortable on the boards. The area we paddled in was very calm which was perfect for newbies. We saw Manatees and variety of birds. Louisa was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of the are. All in all, we had a blast!

Buck and Jackie were the best!! We took our three teens 14, 16, and 19 they all loved it! We didn’t get to see any manatee but did get up close to a couple of dolphins and several small rays. Highly recommended!

This was a great tour. Our guides, Buck and Jackie were great! They made us feel at ease right from the start. If you are intimidated of paddle boarding, you can sit the entire time! But the water is so calm, my son and I both stood easily. We saw so many animals…manatees, dolphin, pelicans, spoonbills, rays, turtles, heron! We will definitely do again as there are different locations.

We loved our paddle boat tour! Guides were awesome, so knowledgeable and fun! We saw manatees, dolphins and enjoyed the information about Bird Island.

What a Magical day! We went on Doo's paddle board tour this week and it was amazing! We saw so many manatees, birds and a couple of dolphins even greeted us. Seeing the manatees up close and in their natural habitat was so cool. We couldn't have asked for better guides - Jackie and Buck were very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and knew just what to look for as we were searching for wild life. The day was perfect and we definitely want to try out other Doo's adventures. Thanks for a great day!

This was a terrific tour and just a very memorable day. It's our second time doing this and each time was wonderful. The river is beautiful, guides were awesome. I would highly recommend d this to anyone.

This is a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours. Jackie and Buck were excellent instructors. Really friendly and helpful. We saw dolphins and manatees. The SUP was great fun. Jackie took loads of photos and videos for us. You don’t need to bring anything. Water is provided. Your valuables looked after. I can’t recommend highly enough. A great experience.

My wife and I booked this last minute. We wanted to try paddleboarding with experienced guides before purchasing our own boards. The weather, water, and wildlife conditions were perfect. Our guides Buck and Jackie were as well- knowledgeable, friendly, and chill. Our group was small, only 5 adults, but we blended very well. It was the most relaxing first-time experience we've ever had. We highly recommend this excursion.
