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!!
