Paddling Paradise - Palm Bay, Florida

Tom was an excellent tour guide for our 3.5 hour kayak ride up Turkey Creek. He was very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna and made sure to point out wildlife to us along the way. We saw numerous alligators, including two little babies!, as well as manatees, a mama and new calf too!, turtles, fish, and plenty of birds. Would highly recommend this tour. The weather was great, and it’s always nice to get outdoors and enjoy some nature. 10 out of 10.

I recently had the pleasure of renting a paddleboard from Paddling Paradise, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the owner, Dan, and his staff member, Daniel, who are both incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain everything I needed to know, making sure I was comfortable and ready for my adventure.

The shop had a great selection of well-maintained paddleboards, and the atmosphere was relaxed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. As I set out on the water, I was treated to some amazing views and even spotted a variety of wildlife, which really made the trip special.

I can’t recommend Paddling Paradise enough. The staff is wonderful, the equipment is top-notch, and the natural surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, this place is perfect for a day of relaxation and exploration. I will definitely be back!

It's always a pleasure renting from Paddling Paradise.

The owner appears to be very knowledgeable, and we appreciate the time he took away from whatever he was working on to speak to us about kayak brands and types.

Paddling Paradise provided my husband and I one of the best kayaking experiences we've had! Their kayaks are top notch.....and those seats 😍. I'm horrible with names 😬 and can't remember the woman that helped us, however, she knew her stuff and walked us through the map. We didn't even need the map because her directions were so on point 👌. The scenery was also amazing going through Turkey Creek! No gators but Manatee 😁 and other wildlife. Our new favorite! 🛶

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 location...kayaking through Turkey Creek is both scenic and peaceful. You may see alligators, manatees, turtles, and many species of birds.
The staff at Paddling Paradise are very helpful, and friendly- helping you launch your kayak, answering questions, or offering advice. Would highly recommend Paddling Paradise whether you need to rent or purchase a kayak or paddle board!

Best please to kayak and paddleboard, friendly service, reasonable prices. They also sale kayaks and paddle boards.Take the training classes with the guide(Tim) he is really full of great information. They will help place your kayaks & boards in the water and get you all set up, tip the helpers they do better then anyone I have gone to for helping getting on the water. Paddling paradise is perfectly located on Turkey Creek in the Sanctuary, the best place to go paddling. I also got the cutest shirt in there store. Fun place 🙂
