Sunset Tours
We'll paddle out over the shallows of the reef, catching up with the honu, Hawaii's Green Sea Turtle, and the reef fish, gradually making our way to our sunset viewing spot to relax and admire the changing colors as the sunsets. With lights on, 4500 lumens illuminate the reef drop-offs and arches. The reef at night is a whole new world, as we light up all the life that thrives in the dark. This is an experience you'll never forget!

Full Moon Paddle Tour
Experience the mangroves where you will see iguanas and plenty of gorgeous wildlife along the way. Heading down the canal before we head out to the rearing sunset - rest and chat while we wait for the full moon to pop up behind the Mountain. A truly unforgettable experience.

Night Glow Paddle in Paradise
The brilliant underwater lighting system that we use on our boards and kayaks lights up the water underneath as we paddle through the clear water in our local paradise. We'll see the gorgeous underwater ecosystem in a unique way.
We launch from The Lake Ivanhoe Boat Ramp, right in the heart of downtown Orlando. Lake Ivanhoe is a beautiful, spring fed waterway with views of the City Beautiful.

"SUP offers an added layer of intrigue when traveling to parts unknown by immersing the paddler in the aquatic environment and allowing participants the opportunity to break through a layer of separation when standing on the water. The ability to see far into the horizon allows paddlers to become familiar with a foreign coast and the capacity to stand on the water and peer down into the depths of the sea brings the underworld of water to life. It is a total immersion experience."

San Francisco is a unique city nestled in the vast pacific northern part of California. Steeped in history, it holds the records of a different time when the discovery of gold in the west made cities boom, city life was becoming vibrant, and the streets were mostly made of dirt.
From these early settlers and gold spenders, the city began to grow. Soon, streets were paved with cobblestone, subsections of the city were created, and San Francisco became a place where you would go to experience life on a grander scale.
In its present age, many things about San Francisco haven’t changed. The history is still held as sacred and its streets are poised to rebound into vibrancy after last year’s COVID shutdowns.
To truly experience the history of San Francisco, you must include the water. The entire city is built around its vast waterways and many of its most famous spots are located on the water.
One such place happens to be the destination for our next Virtual SUP tour - Quinn’s Lighthouse in Oakland.
