Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of animals can I expect to see?
The possibilities are endless! We often see manatees, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, southern stingrays, jellyfish, starfish, countless species of fish, squid, and sometimes even baby sharks!
How long will the tour be?
The tour will last approximately an hour and a half. This is dependent on weather conditions - sometimes may take slightly longer depending on the currents!
What about weather cancellations?
As sunny as South Florida is, the weather can change quickly and can be difficult to predict far in advance. To ensure everyones safety, we may cancel due to winds, thunderstorms, lightning, and heavy rain. We will let you know via email as early as possible if your trip has been cancelled, but it could be cancelled up to an hour before in unpredictable situations.
Do I have to know how to paddle board?
No! This tour is beginner friendly. We will teach you the basics and you can go at your own pace. Feel free to stand, sit, or kneel. Whatever you’re comfortable with!
What should I bring?
We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, SPF, sunglasses/hat, beach towel, a waterproof bag, and an underwater action camera.
Where do we meet?
Phil Foster Park under the Blue Heron Bridge! There is a large (free) parking area. Once you park, head down to the beach by the lifeguard towers! You will see our colorful paddle boards set up here.
