Thank you so much to Uncle Ned at Paddleboard Orlando. We had a great time on our paddleboard tour because Ned was patient, caring and so encouraging. Expert guidance with a super friendly guide made a tour a perfect experience.
I had a great time with this group of instructors. I took my wife with me. She never paddle before and she had an awesome time, Uncle Ned was awesome. The Instructor’s just blend perfectly together. Tom will guide you on and Scott is the laid back one and just go with the flow. So laid back stayed back make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. I would love to maybe someday take a paddle trip with them.
These guys are killer! I was on a family trip and had both experienced and non experienced people with me. Both Ned and Jenna were fantastic at making it a good pace for everyone but showing us around in a badass way! They are very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the island and surrounding land and really take the time to make sure everyone is having the best experience possible. Overall it was a blast and I would recommended to anyone.
“Uncle Ned” and his Paddleboard Orlando Team are absolutely the best! A must if you want to appreciate Lake Virginia in Winter Park and immerse yourself in true local culture. Best articulated by my 17 year old son that did not want to go Paddleboarding, “ Mom I have to hand it to you, this is the best $35 you’ve spent in a long time !” BTW we all wanted to book another session the very next day ! This was a beginners class. They were very patient. It was great workout for those that are alittle more experienced and perfect for those that were not. Highly recommend ! Five stars ⭐️
The best paddle boarding experience! Ned and Jenna were so sweet and such great instructors! Definitely recommend!
I have been paddle boarding for years and this is by far the best paddle boarding adventure I have been on! Ned and Jenna are fun, informative, and make sure you’re enjoying the experience whether you have been around the block a couple times, or are paddle boarding for the first time (some people in my group were beginners). I will be booking a tour with them anytime I travel out here in the future! Thank you guys!
This was my first time paddle boarding and it was an amazing experience. My friend and I had a great time with Ned and Jenna. We were able to see a bunch of different wildlife and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. Ned and Jenna made us feel very welcome and were super helpful. We can’t wait to come back!
Had an amazing time paddle boarding with Uncle Ned and Jenna. They were super outgoing and gave great instructions through out the whole experience.
Best part of our whole vacation!!! Worth every penny. Had a blast even more than disney. Highly recommend. It was our first time and it wasnt hard at all to get the hang of it. Beautiful beautiful scenery.
Super friendly staff. Great equipment. Free advice and help. This is a great relaxing way to spend an hour or two. Getting into the water and back on the board is easy. Located right on Lake Killarney, which is beautifully clean. This location is their shop, but they have many more services and events on their website.
Had a blast! Fun crew, safe paddle boarding, great morning on the water!
My friend & I had an absolute blast with Ned & Jenna exploring the canals and lakes of Winter Park! Not only did they teach us how to properly paddleboard, but they guided us through the area, sharing fun facts and great stories. We can’t wait to go on another one of their adventures.
First time and hooked! The instructors were so friendly and supportive of everyone learning and getting an amazing and fun experience. For the price, which is fairly low compared to others, it was SO worth it! I loved it so much that I booked another event later that night for the bioluminescence trip. That too was so cool to see with my own eyes. They did such a good job in finding a spot that isnt used by others and provides an incredible experience. Highly recommend and will be returning with friends.
We cannot thank Ned enough for such a great time. He made my girlfriends birthday morning such a fantastic experience. I never would have guessed how much Id enjoy paddleboarding. It was such a fun activity, and Neds lessons and guiding made it so much better. After just a couple minutes on the board, I lost all my fears and anxiety, and simply enjoyed the two hour tour down to Wekiva Springs and back. I cannot get over how much easier it was to remain standing and stable on the boards than I had thought it would be. Neds confidence in us - when I lacked any of it! - made a world of difference as well. The equipment he provided was top-notch and his simple-to-understand instructions made it a breeze. And just cruising down the river with Ned - the most happy and relaxed man I may have ever met - added immeasurably to what was a fantastic morning.If you have *any* doubts about your ability to stand-up paddleboard, or how much you might enjoy the activity, I implore you to cast them aside and let Ned take care of you.We will *absolutely* will be back!!
My friend Janet and I were looking for a manatee Paddleboard experience and found lots of wonderful reviews for Uncle Ned and Paddleboard Orlando. He did not disappoint. I had only paddleboarded once and my friend was new to it, but he did a great job of putting us at ease with simple, clear instructions. The water was calm and with very little wind, paddling was easy and the scenery was beautiful. The manatees were easy to find and amazing to watch as they swam right underneath our boards. What a wonderful experience! Uncle Ned felt like hanging out with an old friend right from the beginning.
My sister and I did the Bioluminescent Tour and it was AMAZING! I am very afraid of the water and they did everything to make me feel comfortable and to have a great time that they could. I would 100% recommend Paddleboard Orlando to everyone.
Another awesome adventure with Uncle Ned!! absolutely the best outdoor fun in Orlando. He is great with all ages and groups.We had a great time tonight seeing the bioluminescence, it was absolutely spectacular.
Uncle Ned is exactly the guy you want to rent from. Easygoing, willingly gives you the best scoop on local hotspots even if they have no relation to Orlando paddle boards. Renting was easy, equipment was perfect and high quality- but the customer service is what set him apart!I’d recommend any day - anytimeJason from Michigan
What an amazing night with paddleboard Orlando On August 15th! Ned was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide with our private party of 18 friends to experience a beautiful bioluminescent night paddle adventure! Their equipment was great and Our expectations were exceeded 😊.
My group had such an awesome time with Ned and Jana! From watching Bert and Hector do some belly rolls, to singing Moana, they had us laughing and learning every step of the way. We cant wait for our next adventure with them!
Great for people of all skill levels. A deal for the price. Awesome staff.
This was amazing! Ned, Tom & Jenna were super nice and helpful. Saw dozens of manatees & more. I 100% suggest this activity for anyone who’s looking for something more than another Orlando rollercoaster ride.
Fun group of people!! They make it safe and fun. I will definitely be back
Really fun thing to do with a friend or two on a sunny afternoon! Paddle boarding was a lot easier than it looked, and my friends and I had a great time. It took us about 2 hours to go around the lake at a relaxing speed. Along the lake there are beautiful houses on the lake to view!
We had a great time paddle boarding in Blue Springs and St. Johns River. Uncle Ned was amazing. He took a beginner and a couple of novices and gave us the best experience. I cant wait to come back and book another adventure. I highly recommend this company.
Great company! Went there today to try out paddle boarding, and had a great time. Brought the kids but they didn’t want to go so I ended up going by myself. Got a quick lesson, got fitted for a board, and I was off on the lake. I had never done this before except for viewing a five minute how to YouTube clip, and they made a new beginner like me feel 100% percent comfortable. Two thumbs up for beginners who want to do something fun.
I have never been on a paddle before so I am a total newbie. We stopped at Briarpatch restaurant, Park Avenue for breakfast before the lesson, amazing start to the day and highly recommended. The paddle board instruction is straightforward and easy to pick up. Within 10 minutes you will be relaxed and enjoying this incredible lake. The team are great, laid back and friendly I really enjoyed their company. We’ve done all the crazy park rides this week but for me this will be my best memory of our vacation in Florida. Thanks Ned and the team, loved it.
Paddleboard Orlando is fantastic!!! You will love every minute of your trip. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and so much fun! High octane energy and non stop smiles. If you are a first timer you will be up on the board and paddling in no time. The Winter Park chain of lakes is the perfect place to learn... unsurpassed beauty all around you. A pure delight. This is Florida at its finest. We loved Paddelboarding so much we purchased 2 Palm boards from them. A joy to ride. You cant beat this experience!!
Had such a wonderful and fun time! Hector really made the experience a memorable one!
We had a phenomenal time!
Wow, wow, wow!! This was such a great experience all the way around!! The guides were reassuring, funny and definitely attentive and the group was SUPer fun!! I decided to try this because I wanted to experience something new and also meet other people. I’m hooked and even made a new friend!! Thanks guys!!
Quality people. Quality products. Paddleboard Orlando is the best of the best. I purchased my first board a few weeks ago. Every time I walk through the door, I am met with smiles and friends. I not only found a great and trustworthy Paddleboard shop, I found a place to use my new sport and get the help I need to be my very best. I love small family owned businesses. This is a small family owned business with the quality youd expect from people who LOVE what they do. I am a former small business owner and I appreciate their hard work and smiling faces. They outdo the Big Box Stores up one side and down the other. Check out Paddleboard Orlando, you will be happy you did!!!
These guys are the Best in the Business! David and Ned are kind, knowledgeable and the ones to do all your SUP business with in the East! If you are entertaining family, looking to buy a board, or looking for the special spot to paddle, these guys are the REAL DEAL! I am from the West coast of Florida and drove the 3.5 hours to buy my personal race board from these two! They are amazing, fun, kind, real and honest. Friendly First timers is a must, and their Palm Paddle boards are Awesome and so fairly priced. Stop by Paddleboard Orlando now, and ask questions about your needs. You will not be disappointed and you will be back for more. I hope to have my company as well known and well respected as them. Love, Paddleboard Adventures.
As long as you can find parking in the busy Trader Joes plaza, the store front is tucked away in the back corner, with friendly and knowledgeable staff (Christine was great!) Lake Killarney is beautiful and easy to navigate even with wind gusts and a steady breeze. Paddleboarding is such great exercise! And the company is not a stickler about going a tad over your hour rental. Great experience! Ill definitely be back again!
Love them!!! Ive gone on several outings and they are always the BEST. Once I went with another group and it was so boring. Paddleboard Orlando is anything but boring- a great group of fun-loving people. Cant think of any negative at all! plus my 11 year old also loves it!
Great place I think hes changing locations next month better go now
If you want the best service from highly experienced and friendly people then this is your store. Fun for the whole family. They have great deals on SUPs accessories and you can even rent one at the ire amazing location with a lake right behind. If you are in the Orlando area you must stop by and give SUP a try. They have been amazing instructors and my 9 year old son loves it! He always wants to stop by just to say hi!
Fun time. It was super windy which made it challenging but the boards and paddles were nice!
Uncle Ned and Tenacious Tom are just amazing guides. They teach you everything you need to know to get going. I went once and have fallen in love! I even brought my twin 3 year old daughters and they were great with the girls. Paddleboard Orlando is legit the place to go for all your PaddleBoard needs!!!
Great spot! We have hosted four birthday parties for my two daughter here. They both loved it so much they each wanted to do it again! The staff is friendly and engaging and very accommodating. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours and keep kids off their phones and doing something athletic. The best part is Shake Shack is next door and JillyCakes (cupcakes) is in the same complex so in one place you can workout, get lunch and dessert - along a gorgeous setting of Lake Kilarney!
A natural oasis in the middle of a city. Paddle Board Orlando helped us put together an amazing nonprofit event. A special thanks to Andy for all of his assistance!
We went there today to rent boards for our family and it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Id highly recommend this place!
The staff is exceptional! Super customer service oriented, knowledgeable and a variety of services and products.
Friendly, helpful staff. Easy access to the water. The water was not too cold for me.
Paddleboard Orlando was the most awesome experience! Ned and David make sure everyone has a great time. Would definitely recommend for both beginners and experienced paddle boarders!
Its a reasonable price. The lake size is easily covered. Good for beginners.
Beautiful lake, easy to get to, park and set up. Gentle paddle about even the teenagers enjoyed it
It was an awesome experience. The water was calm and peaceful and it wasnt too hard to get the hang of it. I would recommend it to anyone who was going to this part of Florida
The most fun and supportive group of people on the planet!! Paddleboard Orlando helped me go from an overweight, unbalanced guy who swam a lot, to a proven endurance racer! David and Ned are the first guys to give you an awesome nickname and a high five. Everyone should paddleboard and these guys can get you ready to be great!!
Staffs are so nice and very reasonable price to play. Strongly recommend
Ned and David are the MOST positive people. Paddleboarding is easier than you think and great overall exercise. There cant be an easier way to try it out! Excellent people!
Bobo and NED are amazing!! Friendly service, fun attitude, and they obviously love what they do!! Overall great location and atmosphere. Great way to spend an afternoon strongly encourage to go check them out even if you are just visiting or a local.....Definitely visiting again!!:)
Went with a big group and had an awesome experience! Super friendly, very patient teachers. They had fun activities too! Highly recommend.
Awesome service! The guys were really nice.
It was my first paddle board experience. Tom and Ned were fun and helpful instructors that made the experience even better. Cant wait to go back 🐦
Fantastic fun on Lake Killarney! Extremely easy and very approachable for newbies. Great place to dip your toes into paddle boarding.
Had a great time at Friendly First Timers this past Saturday. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who worked hard to make sure everyone in the group had a good time. I will be back!
Had a great time going to a Friendly First Timer session - Tom and Ned are so fun and make you feel really comfortable out on the water. Cant wait to do it again!
The paddleboard tour was a fantastic experience. Will be back. Tom was excellent.
This was my first time, instructors were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. I had a wonderful BDay celebration!!!! Thanks you guys!😁
Great service super friendly staff, beautiful spring fed lake. Just amazing. And OTTERS!
We did a tour with Paddleboard Orlando and had a fantastic time! Tom is an incredible tour guide. We then returned for a Black Friday sale at the shop. We had a small misunderstanding with a staff member (not a big deal at all) and David (one of the owners) went above and beyond to reconcile the situation. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone works as hard as David did to correct the situation. We would definitely purchase from David again.
This was my first time, instructors were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. Had a wonderful time.
Awesome staff - they helped us on our paddle board experience. They also secured our gopro when we left it in the shop. Thanks guys!
Great service. Very knowledgeable.
Great group water tours on weekends. Knowledgeable staff who cares about getting you the right fit.
Best place in Florida to learn to paddleboard or expand your skills. Ned and the rest of the staff is awesome.
Excellent instructors and fun time. Will definitely be back. Ned and Tom are top notch!
Best place ever and best place for big families. Welcoming environment and very laid back with laid back instructors and blend with your family like that. On a beautiful lake and then we went to ShakeShack, which is the most beautiful ShakeShack ever. Great photo op. You just need to do it. Even if you are scared, you are an expert at the end! Just do it!
My first experience was wonderful. The organizers made sure nobody got left behind (I was the slow one) and we laugh and paddle in the beautiful lake in Winter Park.
CANT WAIT TO RETURN!! EVERYTHING about this wonderful place was PERFECT!!! We had a fairly large group that included 3 children and multiple adults.. We absolutely LOVED the royal treatment we received, which included FREE drinks, (beer included) blanket to sit on, umbrella for our table.. Im pretty sure this was everyones 1st time paddleboarding, after receiving detailed instructions, we went out with complete confidence!!Almost perfect day, with the exception of me losing my Gucci sunglasses.. WARNING: DONT TAKE EXPENSIVE GLASSES WITH YOU!! I promise, youll NEVER find them. :-(
The best ever ! The team members was the very best ! Cant wait to see you all again, thanks for making all of us in the group feeling like pros ♤♤♤
We have been on numerous tours with Paddleboard Orlando and have never had anything short of an amazing time. You can not find a group of professionals who have more fun or are better people than PBO!
Had an awesome time learning how to paddleboard this morning!First off, just want to point out that 60 degrees ended up being perfect weather for paddleboarding. So dont stress our chilly Florida winter days.David was our instructor for the lesson and was very fun and helpful. I like that they go over all the safety basics before you hit the water. The location is awesome... the lake was nice and quiet, giving us plenty of space to work on our technique.If youve never tried paddleboarding, or are just looking for a place to rent a board, check Paddleboard Orlando out! Super friendly and helpful instructors/staff and a great location.
I went on the Friendly First Timer Tour earlier this year and now Im hooked! I love to paddle and the people at PBO are the best! I visit as often as I can. I cant get enough of paddling!
Super location, super chilled and super friendly folks too. Ill be back!
PBO Is the best!! Dave and Ned took me and my family out on a private paddleboard session during the week of my wedding. We had such a great time! They are both so positive and helpful and make it such a fun experience! Also- shout out to Dave for helping me out by sending some christmas presents from the store to Chicago last year!
Highly recommend, the staff is incredibly helpful and super friendly! The lake is clean and clear.
Cant say enough how much fun my girls and I had Paddleboarding here. Ned couldnt have been nicer. We went to Wekiva Springs to paddleboard and found out you have to be 16 to do so. Ned had no problem letting my 12 and 14 year old head out with me. Cant wait to head back and enjoy more peaceful hours out on the lake.
Everyone had a great time plus the instructors were fun, patient, and supportive. We will be back and are bringing more people
Everyone on staff is super helpful and chill.
First time ever trying paddle boarding and had a great time! Hollywood Hannah gets 11 stars out of 10!
Such a great place to enjoy the outdoors and relax
So much fun!! My wife and I went on a paddleboard tour with them for my birthday. We had been paddleboarding before but we have never had so much fun doing it! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to go paddleboarding or to buy a paddleboard. They are very helpful!
Great spot to practice this great sport and the great instructors and customer service.. Thank for the experience..
Tenacious Dave and BooBoo - awesome instructors, amazing experience!
Paddleboard Orlando Makes Water Sports Great Again!
By far the worlds greatest Paddleboard company.
Great time and very helpful people!
Affordable, great service.
