She also was very patient with the youngsters and new paddlers. They never answer the phone or return emails though! Best to reach the shop via social media. Overall an easy experience with tons of support. Should you need it :)

Fantastic experience! Wanted to try SUP for a while and found this place via a Living Social…read morepromotion. Made a reservation for 4th of July weekend a few weeks in advance. The excursion is for about two hours of paddle boarding, but we were advised to be there 15-30 minutes before to prep. We needed time to apply sunblock and put all of our non-waterproof items in the car. We were told that if you don't want it wet, then don't bring it on the board with you. I checked in at the front desk with Eric and signed a standard waiver, then waited for our guide to round us up. Our group of three, along with another couple, were escorted to a dock area by SUP guide Laurel. Laurel was pretty cool-very chill, patient lady, great personality, and a kind teacher. We were fitted for a single adjustable paddle size, then on to the boards to paddle ourselves into nature. It was so helpful to have Lauren guide us on how to get on/off the board and how to start off balancing the right way. We also received instructions on how to row, turn, and backup using the paddle. We journeyed up the New Smyrna North Causeway towards the drawbridge. We spotted many Dolphins along the way and breezed past waterfront homes, small islands, and some boats and other paddle boarders. Sometimes we got fatigued and took short breaks by sitting or kneeling on the board while we continued to paddle forward. We had a paddling break by the North Causeway bridge on a sandbar. Laurel took some photos and provided us with water from her cooler. After that we went forward on the loop course towards the dock where we started off. Some important things-you may need water shoes, depending on your tolerance of having your feet in an intracoastal waterway. Don't bring anything that cannot be submerged in water. Put on sunblock and bring sunglasses. Consider wearing a hat and just a swimsuit. It feels very liberating in swimwear, just hanging out in nature somewhat scantily clad. Bring cash to tip your guide well. Also you can buy the photos of your experience on a thumb drive for $30 at the end. I really can't wait to try this again, maybe next time unguided. It felt so free and fun to glide on the water, this could be my new favorite hobby! Great day out.

He taught me so many different techniques in the water that immediately helped me get more hangtime on the waves. Jessie is an awesome, awesome coach and an overall great guy. If you are learning to surf for the first time or just want to improve your skills, you need to ask for this man. Here's a pic of him on his board. We didn't quite get that far during the lesson but maybe next time!

While my dad and I have a ton of water time, my aunt doesn't and was a little nervous. Adrian, our guide, did an outstanding job of meeting everyone in the group at their skill level. As I expected, my aunt grew more confident and did a great job keeping up with the group. We all had a great time. And felt the 1 hour was just the right amount of time in the seat for them. We were triple lucky in that, about 30 minutes after we wrapped it up and sat down for lunch, the sky opened up and poured down pelting rain. But we had shelter, food, and libations. One note: park in the parking lot, but instead of going to the restaurant, proceed to the west side of the structure to access the front door for RoseBay Watersports. 10/10 - Would recommend - enjoy it before some developer steals another iconic location.

Our guide, **Adrian**, was fantastic--super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best experience possible.

We had plenty of time to play around on the Sea-Doos and take in the scenery--it was the perfect mix of thrill and chill.

The horses were well taken care of and the setting is just incredible. Lazy Oak trees gently cascade over the land, shading the horses and riders on a warm day. We lucked out with a breezy day. My husband's last time on a horse was over 20 years ago at a terrible ranch where his horse took off on his first ride ever. Elaine asked about our experience and when we shared this, she made sure all the horses were good for 3 of us. I asked for one a little spicier and got to ride sassy Lady, a beautiful young thoroughbred-mix. I appreciated the care they took in assessing what would work for us. It's a very casual set-up which was just right for us. The trail is through their beautiful wooded acreage. It was extremely relaxing and a perfect first-time experience for our teens. We will be back! Please support this great little stable. Cash only, and be sure to tip the guide kindly!

Kevin led us through the trail and he was very informative, friendly, and easy going. The trails were very pretty and we did see a cow right on the trail. As for the horses, they were healthy, and seemed quite happy to chug along through the trail. We had never been horseback riding before so Kevin was very patient in getting us started. We had a terrific time and would definitely do this again. We recommend Shenandoah Stables to anyone looking to go horseback riding at a very reasonable expense ($35 per person for a 45 minute ride).

Our last two family vacations we'd come across places that let small children play for free and since our 5 year old now expects to come too, we had to find a family friendly one. This is by far the most new to escape room friendly place we have ever been to (but still fun for seasoned players too!) Laura was amazing. Our son likes to put on a show and acted like he was the seasoned pro, even though the other places he'd been too with us he'd really just gotten to hang out in the room with us and their wasn't much to do. Before we started, she took the time to show him every type of lock we'd encounter in the room and gave super kid friendly and engaging instructions on how to do them. So this is the first time he really got to truly play with us. There was also plenty in the room that he was able to help find and place in their designated spots to solve puzzles. We will definitely have to check out their other rooms next time we're in the area. Laura really sets the bar for game masters. She is just so welcoming and friendly.
