We take beginners all the time! We want everyone to come paddling and our tours are friendly to all skill levels! All of our tours go over basic paddling instructions and a brief safety talk before we hit the water. If you feel you may need additional instruction time please give us a call when booking and we will schedule a complimentary lesson, schedules permitting, before the tour starts to ensure you are comfortable with the boards!

We recommend that you wear light athletic clothing that is comfortable and breathable that you can move easily in, as well as footwear that can get wet. I.e. Water shoes, sandals etc.

We provide Bug Repellent, Dry Bags, all necessary Safety equipment including Whistles, Life Jackets, and proper lights for our night tours. (you may use your own life jacket as long as it is coast guard approved and in good condition)

Your safety is our first priority! Florida weather can change unexpectedly and quickly, In the event of inclement weather we may place the tour on a 30 minute weather hold. After the thirty minute hold, if it is deemed unsafe to go out you will be issued a full refund, or have the option to be rescheduled to another tour pending availability.

We can accommodate large parties, if you are looking to book a private tour for your group, please reach out to us via email at info@apaddleinparadise.com or call us directly! We do offer group rates as well.

While gratuities are always appreciated they are not required! If you feel your tour and guide were exceptional, feel free to leave a tip, it is always appreciated!

Our kayak mod systems allow you to experience the thrill of paddle boarding but with the ease and comfort of being on a kayak. Unlike traditional kayak seats that leave you sitting flat on the boat, our seats elevate you 7” to a comfortable height that still keeps your center of gravity low.
