Amazing kayak tour with Todd. The beautiful springs were amazing. The wildlife was beautiful. Even though we didn't see everything this time we will be back for another tour. Very enjoyable, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Todd thank you for keep me away from the gators. read more

Everything was so good! Spence was our guide at the Silver Springs location. He was knowledgeable about all the local wildlife. He was professional and friendly with our group. We saw manatees, monkeys, alligators, lots of birds, butterflies,fish and tons of turtles. This activity would be good for pretty much anyone that is able to be moderately active. We are in our 50's and I wouldn't say in peak physical health. LoL but it was easy and relaxing while getting a great workout. Highly recommended read more

Very fun! The tour guide, Ryan, was a pleasure to work with. He was well knowledged, very aware, kind, and so helpful! His communication was great. We had to move our slot time due to bad weather and they made it easy to reschedule! We got to see various forms of wildlife up close and personal! Would highly recommend this tour! read more

Cancelled a tour in Sarasota that I had booked months earlier, about 4 hours before the tour. Said they had dock damage from Tropical Storm Debby, and blamed Viator for not 'informing them they had a booking." Viator does not operate this way, and did inform the tour operator about the booking. They knew they had damage from Debby for over a week, yet didnt bother to check whether they had bookings. They cancelled at the very last minute, and we were unable to book something else to do. Appears to be a very shoddy and disorganized business, I would stay away. read more

Buyer Beware! Purchased a paddle from their website early morning on Monday 6/12. I paid $35 for shipping. Since I live nearby and ground shipping is only 1 day, I expected I would receive it by the end of the week. Nope. On Monday 6/19 I shot them an email asking about "Order Status?". Today is 6/25, no response to email, no tracking number as promised. I was forced to file a dispute with Paypal and was able to get my money back from my bank. Not only did they not reply to my emails but as of 6/25 they still have not replied to Paypal resolutions. Completely incompetent company. **Purchased a 100% carbon fiber paddle from a surf company in NY and had it in hand in 3 day's! $40 cheaper. Free shipping. No FL tax. read more

Went on a tour with Spence during a nice windy day in St. Augustine. He was helpful by sharing local history and ensuring the group stayed together. You have the choice between paddle board and kayak depending on your skill level. We even saw a few turtles! read more

Three Brothers Tours - Paddleboarding Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

i would give this company zero stars if I could. Biggest bait and switch scam I have ever imagined. When we tried to get answers and had concerns they would hang up on us or never return our calls. Our items arrived 4 days late, we were missing items and the poor company they contracted out to were lied to about the quantity of our items. On top of it they tried to delete our invoice. Thankfully my husband took screen shots. Biggest scammers ever! read more

Even if you do not have an encounter with wildlife, you will have the most remarkable 2 hours on this tour! I have never paddle boarded before and was a bit apprehensive, however with excellent instruction, absolutely no problem, whatsoever! In fact, I was considering buy one of their quality boards... Actually, still am (Black Friday.) We saw areas of Daytona we never would have seen, had we not taken this tour. Everyone paddles at their own speed however no one is ever left behind. We also learned a little bit of Daytona History (re: the ball park to the hand-made murals.) The weather was SO hot, however we stayed SO cool paddling around. We even got to go for a swim. I highly recommend this tour. It's worth it! read more

Our tour guide Spenc was amazing! He knew a lot of really cool information about the animals we saw.

We had a great time kayaking today with Three Bothers Boards. We really lucked out too because our group was wonderful. We saw a couple of dolphins from the distance as well as a turtle. Our guide was caring and funny. It was so much fun. read more

Amazing surf shop and paddle tour experience in the Daytona Beach area. When it starts off, you pull up to an unassuming surf shop across from a park, in a strip of small shops. It is not a standard strip mall, more like a strip of mom and pop shops in a beachy area. As you walk in, there is everything you think you would find in a surf shop. Boards on the left, accessories on the right, apparel in the middle, with sun bum sunscreen and sunglasses throughout the store. The shop person, Dan, was very friendly and welcoming as well. I was there to buy a paddle board and go on a tour. The tour was led by Dan as well. You drive over to the dock area, and launch from there. Parking is free. Our tour was small, and we did not see manatees, but we did see dolphins, and some jacks going nuts. The weather was perfect, and the tour lasted a little over 2 hours. Dan was very friendly, attentive, and aware of our group. He made sure everyone was getting the hang of it, and was always willing to help. After we got back to the store, I picked up a few things, loaded up my board and headed home. The experience was wonderful, and could not ask for anything more from a tour or surf shop. They obviously cannot control if you see wildlife, but they are on the lookout the whole time and try to make sure you have a great experience. They also offer surfing lessons if that is your thing. read more

Looking for something to do while in Daytona Beach? Something low key and you get to enjoy the sights, maybe see some wildlife? It's here. Paddle boarding on the Halifax River. Calm waters, for the most part. Ryan, our tour guide, made the whole experience fun! He was very knowledgeable in the area and the wildlife we came across. Very patient with us, as we've never done paddle boarding before. He made the experience fun! My family and I really enjoyed it. I am so glad I pulled the trigger on doing this. I'd wish I had taken some video while out on the water! I was too busy trying to maintain forward motion and enjoying the sights. We didn't see any manatees or dolphins, but I still enjoyed my time :) read more

This tour was a blast! I highly recommend going on it with your family! It's a very entertaining tour and there are lots to see to keep you occupied. We didn't get to see any manatees but we did see dolphins, jellyfish, and other neat wild life. Btw, they hand craft all of their boards and ship them all over the US! They are beautiful boards and I want to collect a few! Thanks for the amazing time today! Looking forward to doing it again soon! read more

Our group of five had a really great time despite the thunderstorm 90% of the tour. We saw a couple of dolphins, but not much other than that which could be due to the storm. Our tour guide, Spencer, was well informed and easy going which made the experience less intimidating for first timers. Would definitely do this again and will definitely purchase a paddle board from them when the time comes. read more

We did the 1030 tour today with Tiffany and had a great time! Tiffany is very personable, laid back and professional. The boards are easy to use and the instruction was good. We had a nice and challenging trip out to a small island, came back under bridges and even saw dolphins swimming in the inlet. The check in process went very smoothly and the guys in the shop were super friendly! Definitely recommend doing this tour!! This is the company to Paddleboard with!! read more

Gotta check this place out. They make their own paddle boards! We went out for a 10:30 am tour and our guide was really funny. We stayed entertained through the entire adventure. We didn't see much wildlife but the bridge views were awesome. It was nearly a 2 hour tour and we came back just in time to miss the afternoon rain. They offer kayaks for anyone not comfortable paddle-boarding. Lots of fun. And! The guide took photos of every participant and texted them to us. Would go again. Really appreciate the photo and experience. I will say paddle boarding on the waves is nothing like on the lake. Be ready for a lesson in humility. read more

Three Brothers Tours - Nearby - Paddleboarding Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

The guys in the shop were very helpful and enthusiastic, they told us all about the dolphin pod they had been seeing, how manatees like to suck on the back of your board or throw a fin up on the board, and about sea turtles they had seen recently. our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area. We didn't see any dolphins or manatees or turtles on our tour. My son is 11 and had a hard time keeping up with the group, so at times we were far behind the pack and couldn't hear much of what the guide was saying. I know a sightings can't be guaranteed when you are dealing with nature but I would suggest a discounted second tour or some sort of incentive to try it again especially since the guy in the shop talked it up so much. read more

Our guide Eric was great! This was our first time on SUPs (which they make and plate beautiful BTW). He was helpful, patient, and friendly. The weather was perfect. Wish we had seen manatees or other wildlife. Other than that, it was fun. read more

My partner and I grew up in Port Orange, and we now live in Atlanta. Any time we get a chance to come home, the first thing we want to do is see and feel the water. Three Brothers Boards is our GO TO for fun on the water. We've been on small tours (just us and a guide) and larger tours (20+ people), and the experience has always been incredible. We've seen so much wildlife, and learned so much about paddle boarding. We were so inspired after one of our outings, that we bought our first (definitely not last) Three Brothers board. She hangs proudly in our home, and takes adventures on the Chatahoochee whenever she can! If you're thinking about booking or buying... do it now!! read more

Don't even second guess this experience, do it! I had an amazing experience on my first-time paddle boarding. From my check-in with Dan who has incredible energy for 8 am, to Jacob my instructor who is very attentive, understanding, and motivating. He was skilled in spotting animals and I was able to have a dolphin, manatee, and sea turtle encounter! We re a very large group and he kept us together the entire time. Great tour for all ages, and group sizes. This experience has motivated me to paddleboard wherever I go. read more

I booked a tour, received a email confirmation to arrive 30 minutes early on 12/31/21. Arrived 30 minutes early but the store was locked and there was a note on the door that said they were short staffed & running 30 minutes late & to come back with a suggestion to check out the coffee shop next door. We were not up for coffee so we went for a walk & came back 30 minutes later the sign was now off the door and the lights were still off and door locked. I called no answer. I waited another 45 minutes to see if someone showed up or a phone call back. Nothing we left. Was so disappointed because we planned the day around this and drove out an hour to get there and waited there over an hour. The next day I was at the beach anyway. So I booked another tour (this was last minute right before it started) received a email confirmation but again no one at the location where my email confirmation said to be. I sent several emails. Never a response so I disputed both charges on my credit card. Still on-going dispute with credit card charge a month later. Not a good experience, no response from them. Wasted a half day vacation for disappointment. read more

I had a wonderful day on the water with Seth, a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable paddle tour guide. I've paddled regularly in the Orlando area since July, but this was my first time visiting Daytona and we were fortunate to just walk by the shop Saturday after seeing a sign on the sidewalk and lucky to sign up for a guided tour. Even though I go out several times a week and would be considered more of an experienced paddler, it was very nice to go out with a group and guide who is knowledgeable of the area. Thank you for a truly memorable experience on the water Seth and the fantastic photos! I can't wait to return with family when the visit me in Florida. read more

My experience didn't match up with the other reviews but it is because our experience was a good reminder that wild animals can't be controlled. Our disappointment came because it seemed like it was a given we would see dolphins or manatees "Best Dolphin & Manatee tour in FL" on the 2 hr paddle board trip but we didn't see anything. Supposedly that is not normal so hopefully your luck will be better. Our 9 year old road along with my wife and the 13 and 11 year old did great on their own board for the entire trip. I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 for 2 reasons 1. I suggest that the team sets the bar low or advertises differently so when you do see a dolphin or manatee it is a bonus. Or if the wildlife isn't out you keep paddling instead of just sitting on the island for 30 mins. 2. Our guide was a college student and wasn't the brightest or hasn't received proper training yet. He was running around verbally stating how stressed he was trying to get our group of 20 set up vs. welcoming us all. He left a large part of the group behind where they were yelling for our group to wait up. He just needed go slower until everyone got the hang of it. This is silly but a styrofoam cup blew off his board and tried quickly to reach for it but let it float off after one attempt. Which was even more odd because he told me he is going to school for Environmental Biology. I still feel guilty I didn't go after the cup myself. He was nice just needs a little more training. Maybe if one of the more proven guides did a ride along with him that would help. AND I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 stars for 2 reasons 1. The equipment was super nice. Considering buying a set for the family. 2. The manager Dan was awesome. He was great with names and our kids. He would be an awesome guide if you get him! read more

I love SUP'ing with Three Brothers! Ryan (our tour guide) was pleasant, polite and very knowledgeable about the local Daytona Beach and Volusia County histories, along with the wildlife we were likely to see. We saw a dolphin, large hermit crabs on a sandbar and many different types of birds. We had 2 teenagers that had never SUP'd before and with Ryan's guidance and advice they did so with ease. I highly recommend booking this tour! You won't regret it. read more

What a great place to enjoy the water, learn about paddle boarding and see some amazing views. Trent was an amazing tour guide. Very helpful, friendly and told us a lot about the area. He gave us some really good ideas of places to eat, visit and adventure to while we were in Florida. I would highly recommend Three Brothers Boards if you are ever in the area or want to buy a beautiful paddle board hand made with pride. read more

Purchased a Jason Ryan and a Red Rail a couple of weeks ago. Customer service was incredible- especially since they had been hit with the hurricane. Really great group of people to deal with. I'm located in So. Cal and they made it very easy for me to look at the boards at their So Cal warehouse before purchase. The guys at the warehouse were super helpful and accommodating. We absolutely love our boards! The preform really well! And they are absolutely gorgeous! We spent months searching for the right boards for us- this is a purchase we are very pleased with! Definitely recommend!! read more

We were in Daytona for spring break. It was our last full day and we all wanted to go on a paddle board tour. We scheduled our tour for 2pm and we were all super excited to go. Right before we were about to leave, a guy called us and Told us that our tour was cancelled. He didn't tell us why it was cancelled or offer us any alternatives. It was a bad experience with this company for me. read more

Had a great time... Eric was a great guide. It was our first time and I wasn't sure I would feel comfortable on the board but it was really relaxing and easier than I thought. It was well worth the time and money, a great experience. read more

Went on the paddle board tour and it was so awesome! Seth was super cool and was really good at giving us instructions to paddle boarding as it was our first time. My mom has a bad knee and he helped her and showed her a good way to get up and she did it her first try! On the tour Seth made sure to show us where to go so he could hang in the middle and help anyone or chat with everyone in the group(about 15 of us). Seth was really knowledgeable about the sea life around Florida i think he mentioned he went to school for marine biology so that was cool learning unique things about manatees and dolphins. We got to see a cool part of Daytona and went under bridges and by boats, and for the best part... we hung out with a manatee! He popped up pretty close to us and just kept coming up and saying hi for probably half an hour. My sister even got to touch him. This was definitely the highlight of our entire vacation which is saying a lot because we did a ton of things over 8 days but this took the cake! Will definitely be doing this again next time I'm in Daytona! read more

We did the 8:30am tour and both of us have never been on a paddle board! Jake was our tour guide. He was so awesome :) We started off paddling on our knees on the board then standing up was easy!

There are some pros, though mostly cons (unfortunately) to the bamboo SUP that I have now had for 1 season. The pros: 1. Beautiful looking boards 2. Reliable customer service (my first board was delivered damaged, so I refused shipment as instructed and a received a replacement board 3-4 weeks later, disappointing, but glad it was handled without too much hassle). The cons: 1. Quality 2. Quality 3. Quality: What I didn't appreciate when I ordered this board was just how poorly it's constructed (note the lack of construction details on their website). In a nutshell, a board should not be compressible using your finger and thumb. Three Brothers SUPs are very compressible and has resulted in dents even with the slightest of 'dings'. The paint chips incredibly easily and I am very cautious with my board, always using the padded bag during any transport. It also delaminates easily (the bamboo bubbles) after a long drive in the summer with the board up top (and in the bag). Lastly, I have significant heal dents (divots from standing) after 3 months of use. I contacted Three Brothers for that latter two issues, and though they apologized, no warranty/action was taken on their part. I've also shown to the board to a couple of local SUP shops and they just shook their heads in disappointment. This board is so damaged from simple open water use, I couldn't sell it if I wanted to. For the price you can do sooooo muuuuch better. I'd check out Boga Boards (or any other for that matter). read more
