  • 5Paddle board experience

    Buddy was our guide and he was awesome! He was so helpful and kind. We went out for an hour long paddle which was about 30$ each including tip! We saw lots of fish jumping and the water was so still! Definitely recommend this inexpensive fun workout activity for friends and family on any occasion

  • 5Best birthday treat ever!

    Appreciate meeting Webb! He truly is a character patient and helpful throughout the Signing and getting us ready to kayak in our double kayak. Although we only went out for 45 minutes it was great and I’ll definitely be doing it again with more of my family. This will a small group to celebrate my 53rd birthday.

  • 5Solo float exceeded expectations

    I was excited that it was a solo float and not a guided tour. Plenty of time to slow my pace and take my time to explore. Lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Webb was kind enough to call me the night before and tell me to come earlier than my sign up time to miss low tide. All in all a great experience and would come back next time I’m in the area.

  • 5A Kayak for Two on the Salt Marsh

    We were surprised and pleased to find the PADL facility at Talbot Island to be a full service facility rather than a self service. Webb, the gentleman that manages facility was extremely helpful and efficient in getting us on the water in short order. If you’re in area this is a must do. The salt marsh is beautiful and peaceful.

About Jacksonville

Jacksonville, in north-east Florida, is a sprawling river city on the St Johns, with Atlantic beaches, parks, museums and a historic riverside.

Jacksonville straddles the St Johns River near the Atlantic, a river that flows north, and the consolidated city is the largest in the contiguous United States by area. Downtown's Riverwalk follows the riverbank, and neighbourhoods such as Riverside and Avondale have tree-lined streets, shops and early twentieth-century houses. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens sits on the riverbank.
