I've wanted to do a paddle boarding eco tour for a while now. After a lot of research I found one…read morethat I was happy with at South Florida Paddle. Why you ask? I would say my biggest reason was location. The location (Lake Worth Lagoon/Munyon Island) is a preserved area and really shows you what Florida looked like before it was overly populated. Once you are out on the lagoon you feel cut off from the world which is awesome, especially since you are only separated by some mangrove trees. After I decided the location I contacted SFP and spoke to Marissa. I let her know I was organizing a large group of us to go out (12 of us in total) and she not only gave us an awesome group discount but she set up a private link so everyone could pay separately and only the people in my group could access it! One great tip I will give you is that the meet up location is just past Macarthur Beach Park and it is on the east side (left) of the road. It is not a building it is just the road. You will see the truck and trailer with all the paddle boards as your clue. Parking is free! Another good tip is to wear swim shoes if you have them. Not necessarily for the paddle boarding but for when you take your break on Munyon Island. The beach is pretty rocky and it's an untouched island so if you want to explore it a little, having shoes would be ideal. I actually found a hermit crab as soon as we landed but wished I remembered my swim shoes so I could have explored the island more (next time for sure!). Marissa our guide also provided us with water during our break. She really knows a lot about the area and I think we all learned a lot about the island and the animals on land and in the sea around us. It is really something you have to experience for yourself to really appreciate it. After a short review on safety and some tips on how to properly paddle board we went out one by one, out on the lagoon, such a beautiful view I might add. The day was perfect as well not a cloud in the sky. I have been on a paddle board before but many people in my group have never been. Some were fairly nervous but soon realized that it wasn't that hard to do and felt confident fairly quickly. It was great to see everyone working together as a team, and despite only a few falls in the water lol, I think everyone did awesome and had a great time. We saw a dolphin, sting rays, flying fish and some cool birds while we were out. It was definitely an amazing day! They also offer night time tours and many others so they have a lot to choose from. I am already thinking about the next tour to book! Maybe one of the LED night time guided Full Moon tours! If you are looking for something different and want a unique way to learn more about the area and just want something FUN to do then go paddle boarding! Trust me it's great for beginners and you will not regret this amazing experience of being out on the water so close to nature.

I just moved to South Florida from Connecticut and brought my kayak with me in hopes of seeing some wildlife. My boyfriend doesn't have a kayak of his own and suggested we book a rental with a tour guide to show us around - I am so glad we did! Misty and her super cute canine, Abu, were the most amazing tour guides ever. Before our arrival, Misty kept in contact with excellent communication. She provided quality rental equipment, and not only did we feel very safe the entire time, she is an expert at spotting wildlife. The Peanut Island paddle was suggested for us - we were so blessed to see an abundance of manatees floating under us, a stingray, a starfish so big I almost called the Guinness Book of World Records (haha only half-joking!) and plenty of beautiful birds, lizards and fish. The excursion took about two hours and we never felt rushed at all, although it was just the right amount of time before we started to get a little tired. Can't thank Salty Dog Paddle enough for this incredibly special and very memorable experience. Misty was even thoughtful enough to take photos and videos for us which she sent after - she really was the best part of this experience for us!! Highly recommended!!!

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park seemed like such a hidden gem from everything I had read and…read moreseen online. I loved that it offers so many activities in one place--kayaking, paddleboarding, the beach, picnic areas, a gift shop, and educational exhibits--all at very reasonable prices. Parking was only $5, and the kayak and paddleboard rentals were affordable too. Unfortunately, I happened to visit on a day with an extremely low tide. Paddleboard rentals were suspended, but kayak rentals were still available. The staff did warn us about the low tide and advised us to stay near the edges to avoid getting stuck. However, as someone new to kayaking, I didn't realize just how much the tide would impact the experience. For a large portion of our trip, the water was so shallow that our kayaks constantly got stuck. We had to repeatedly get out and drag them through the water. At times, the water wasn't even ankle deep. I completely understand that the staff can't control the tides, but I honestly wish kayak rentals had also been paused that day because the conditions made it difficult to really enjoy the experience. By the time we finished kayaking, we were exhausted and felt pretty gross from walking through the murky water, so we ended up skipping the beach altogether. Outside of that, the park itself looked lovely. There was a nice picnic area, a cute gift shop, and they even had a rescued sea turtle with a volunteer sharing information about sea turtle conservation, which was a really nice touch. There also appeared to be several educational exhibits throughout the park, although they happened to be closed during our visit. One downside was a pretty unpleasant smell near the gift shop, but I'm guessing that may have also been related to the unusually low tide. Despite my experience, I haven't written the park off. The photos I've seen online make it look absolutely beautiful, and I think we were just unlucky with the timing. I'd definitely consider coming back on a day with higher water levels to give it another chance. It sounds like a great park overall--I just recommend checking the tide conditions before planning to kayak or paddleboard so you can enjoy it at its best.

Very unprofessional customer service experience. When I arrived to rent a jet ski, I was informed…read morethat I had to complete a boating safety test. My issue was not with the requirement itself, but with the fact that nobody mentioned it when I initially inquired about renting. Had I known beforehand, I could have prepared accordingly. The test contained technical boating questions that many people with little or no boating experience would not reasonably know. When I asked why this requirement had not been disclosed earlier, the employee's response was to call me "crazy" rather than provide a professional explanation. I was also told about a mandatory 10% tip before I had even booked the jet ski or received any service. Being presented with a required tip upfront, combined with the lack of communication about the boating test, felt misleading and unprofessional. Customers deserve to be treated with respect when asking legitimate questions. A simple explanation would have gone a long way. the lack of unprofessional behavior left a very negative impression of this company brand of jetski rentals. Do not recommend.
