Paddling Paradise, Palm Bay FL

They were very accommodating! We were going to kayak to, what we thought were, nearby islands and spend the night. The let us know that the islands were 5miles away and it would have been very hard for us. They helped us rent a truck from u haul so we could bring the kayaks to a landing much closer. They were great!

Tom was a wonderful guide. We saw 5 manatees, tons of turtles, birds and fish, as well as alligators. Great tour and I highly recommend it.

Excellent experience. They helped me choose, order, and install the perfect rack for my needs. Located on the beautiful turkey creek, you can come here to shop for gear, a new kayak or paddle board, and to rent or launch your own vessel. The owner and staff took time to educate me on my options and were not pushy. You can tell the owner loves what he does and is passionate about helping others who love being out on the water. Well worth the drive from Kissimmee!

All together great experience with Kayak Tour Guide Tom on 11/30/23.
Turkey Creek Sanctuary was a different world to this mid-Michigan retired couple. During the tour, Tom regaled us with his detailed knowledge of both the region and wildlife. We were fortunate to see 3 alligators, 2 manatees, dozens if turtles, and uncountable birds. You cannot go wrong by booking with Tom.

This place is awesome! Paddleboarding through turkey creek was amazing. Friendly staff and a great location. Thank you, we will be back!

Get the best guidance to buy equipment here. Honest and reliable. Sunset Paddle and Women on the Water are great gatherings if you want to meet a group of people that love being out in nature and water. You will not be dissapointed.

Very nice tour, lots of fun and talk. Nice views. Unfortunately no manatee was seen, just the one that hit my kayak. 28usd the group tour, 6km about 1hs or so

We called around and found your company, to rent a tandem Hobie kayak.
We were told it would be $65.00 for 2 hours, so we went out. The only instructions we received was, just turn right n you will be ok.
Just 2 young guys acting like we bothered them, but with help from Nate, who was by the water, we learned a few things about how to use the kayak.
When we got back, it took awhile for someone to come down n help us. (I have rented a kayaks before, at other places & it was a more professional experience.)
So we just parked it n went towards the office and one of the young guys came down to tell us to go to the office.
We then got charged 70.00 instead of the 65.00 that I was told.
I will be back because I enjoyed the experience,
I hope next time will be a better experience at the office.

Nicest people ever. Rented kayaks from them several times. Equipment is always in good condition. Recommend the punch card if you plan to go more than 2-3 times!

This guided tour was amazing! Don't be afraid to adventure out of your comfort zone. FYI: If you are worried about being out on water at night let me at least tell you that at no point on the tour were we in water deeper than four feet. Two people got a little too excited about seeing dolphins and capsized but they were able to easily get back on to their paddle board hybrid without any assistants. The season for bioluminescence is really short so start researching and planning your trip now.

I really enjoyed my kayaking experience with my wife at Paddling Paradise. The staff members were courteous and informative, the water was calm and the ambience was just beautiful. Highly Recommended.

We came here for women on the water, a group sunset trip. We rented a tandem kayak it was all set up ready for us. The staff is all really nice. There was plenty of parking. Great experience!

Had a great evening excursion looking at the inlet, bioluminescent water and a lightning storm coming in. Tom was a great guide! Highly recommended!

My friend and I wanted to plan something special for when she came to visit and Paddle in Paradise was amazing! The guide was so sweet and we were incredibly blessed to have chosen this company for the tour! You guys were incredibly kind and helpful! I love the cool bug spray and interesting insight on the stars! The lake was beautiful and I'm super happy we chose the 8 pm. What a perfect night and day experience! I totally need to bring my kids!

Excellent fun adventure. Bats at dusk. Bioluminescence was perfect. I'm a beginner paddler and they were very helpful getting in and out of my kayak. Highly recommend! Bring bug spray, water to drink, and a light.

Great time and a great place to rent! Turkey Creek is a calm and peaceful paddle. The guys at Paddling Paradise are great.

Beautiful evening on the water! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Thank you Danny & your regulars @ Paddling Paradise

Update 06/15/2023: I've been back several times and the experience is always top quality! I tried the SUP yesterday at the WOW event on Wednesday. Danny was incredibly helpful teaching me how to stand up and offering tips to keep me standing. With his guidance I felt super comfortable to continue and confident I can do it again! After this experience, I'm considering a SUP purchase! Thanks so much to the staff at Paddling Paradise for always being helpful and welcoming!

My dad and I had a visit here this past Saturday. It was a first for us both and we enjoyed ourselves extensively. The staff was courteous and prompt in accommodating our request to rent 2 single kayaks for our trip down the Turkey Creek Sanctuary. The attendant helped us by getting the kayaks off the holding racks and into the water and assisted in retrieving them upon our return, asking us how we enjoyed our excursion in the waters, and if we had the chance to see any of Florida's many wildlife animals. We did see a few turtles, fish, and many birds. They've also set up a small store of sorts inside the main building where you can purchase a variety of items pertaining to water sports of all kind. I decided to buy one of their large waterproof backpacks that has a clear pocket that opens from the inside (for waterproofing purposes) for a cell phone, and another meshed zipper pouch in the front I used to hold my sunscreen. It can in handy and surely will again. Overall, it was relaxing and fun, very fun. I'll be looking forward to go back again soon.

My husband and I just purchased 2 Hurricane Kayaks from Dan at Paddling Paradise. I can’t say enough about how kind and helpful he was. He really encourages you to test them out on the water before you purchase. I am so glad I did. The one I thought I knew I wanted I actually didn’t like at all and it would not have worked for me. Dan helped me try out others to find the best fit for me! We are looking forward to many years of kayaking and joining Dan out on the water for his Saturday Sunset Socials.

Very responsive! I reached out to them because they had some Hobie Lynx accessories in stock that nobody else has. They were quick to handle a purchase over the phone and got the parts I needed shipped to me super fast. I will definitely be checking with them when I need accessories for my Hobie kayak! Thanks, guys!
