    We were beginner boarders...

    Kimberly_C, Mar 2026
    We were beginner boarders with 2 small kids. Each child rode with an adult, which worked out well. Our guide was helpful, patient and informative. We didn't see any manatees, but had a nice time on the water. We were paddling for about 1 1/2 hours.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about your tour experience! We're so glad that the whole family was able to come out on tour and you enjoyed getting to paddle and explore the area! We hope to see you again in the future on one of our many Dolphin and Manatee Adventure Tours!

    Extremely disappointing

    Waste of money I specifically booked on the river in Ormond Beach the day before they moved us to Daytona Beach on the intercoastal we saw zero wildlife except for a few bars that you can see every day in Florida anywhere though was absolutely worthless cruising around the intercoastal is like taking a walk around the city block it was near a wildlife total waste of money on time. Extremely disappointing

    Our tour guide Fletcher was amazing. He was very passionate about the wildlife and his job as a tour guide. We saw manatees, dolphins and sea turtles all about while going on our tour with three brothers. I would absolutely do it again 0 hesitation, how often can you say you got to see dolphins and manatees within 10 feet of you.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    We love to hear about your experience out on tour. Our tour guides really do love their jobs, so we always like hearing how enthusiastic they are while out on the water with everyone. We were so glad you were able to experience not only Florida and some of our wildlife, but also had an amazing experience with your guide. Thank you for supporting Three Brothers Adventure Tours and we hope to see you again in the future!

    Our guide, Fletcher, really knew the river and the area we’d be exploring to give us the best chance to see wildlife. He was very knowledgeable and was a great guide!

    A little disappointed that the Daytona tour was not representative of the natural habitat shown in the advertisement….but enjoyable nonetheless. The check-in and tour guide staff were great.

    Would do this again with this company

    A pleasantly unexpected tour in Daytona Beach! Manatees come up to our boards and followed us around! Highly recommended tour!

    Amazing!

    What a great experience! It was the perfect activity for me and my family! We learned so much about the local wildlife and our tour guide was very patient with us as we were first time paddle boarders🤙🏽 if you’re looking for something to do with your friends or family, this is it! Not to mention all the wildlife we saw. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle and even a manatee! Very cool to see, would definitely recommend!

    First Time Paddle Boarding

    Sage_L, Jun 2024
    10/10 would recommend!!! We had an awesome time!! I cannot even count how many manatees we saw! Our tour guide was funny and full of wildlife facts. It was my first time on a paddle board and I was a little nervous at first but our tour guide made me feel confident and comfortable. I think everyone should try this out! It was an absolute joy and a lot easier than I expected! I will definitely be back out on my next trip! Thank you for an excellent day!

    I had the best time on our tour! We saw so many manatees! I had no idea how sweet and majestic they were until I saw them right in front of me! I will never forget our time with Three Brothers and will definitely be bringing my friends and family on tour! That was a blast and I can not wait to do it again!

    My husband and I had a blast and we would recommend this tour to anyone.

    Michael_M, Jun 2024
    My husband and I went out on this tour to try something new in the area. We had heard a lot of good things about Three Brothers Boards over the years and they were all true. This was a class act operation. They were very patient and kind with both me and my husband and helped us on and off the kayaks. They were also both very knowledgeable about the local eco system and they told us tons of fun things to do in the area that we did not know about and we have lived here for over 50 years now. We are definitely taking our daughter and grandkids on this tour when they come to visit. We were very happy with this experience and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

    Great adventure, great tour guide and a great way to see Ormond Beach.

    Michael_Y, Jun 2024
    We had a great time on this tour. We rode in Kayaks and they were very nice and clean. We have lived in the area for many years and did not know that Ormond had something like this and it will be a great addition to the area. Our tour guide was great, he was very patient and polite with us and he was full of interesting facts about Ormond beach and all the wildlife. We saw some manatees twice and they swam right by us. We also some some huge pink birds that were absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be coming back to do this again when we have people visiting from out of town

    Amazing!

    Jennifer_C, Jun 2024
    Beautiful views and wild life! Definitely would recommend this tour!!! We loved the boards so much we bought 2 of our own!!!!

    I'm going to rebook, thank you!

    Serafin_I, Jun 2024
    This tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness the beauty of Florida's wildlife right in our backyard. I appreciated the clear instructions and support from our guide, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Sappy as it may sound, this tour left me with a deep appreciation for the natural world and a desire to protect it. Love it, thank you Justin and team- Val

    Fun day on the water!

    I had an absolute blast on the paddleboard tour! It was incredibly fun and easy to pick up, even for a beginner like me. We saw so much amazing wildlife along the way—it was so cool. The boards were awesome, and our tour guide was fantastic! I would definitely recommend this tour as a must-do if you’re in the area.

    Fabulous day

    Lorri_C, Jun 2024
    This was a fabulous day. My guide was so knowledgeable about the area and helping me feel comfortable on the board. I’m looking forward to doing this again soon.

    Dont do it!

    Tracy_H, Apr 2024
    We booked us and planned our whole day around it and showed up 20 minutes early. Nobody was at the address provided tried to call somebody they couldn’t get a hold of the operators. Then they called me back at the exact time our thing was supposed to start to tell us that we should have been able to book it online that they weren’t even open at that new location yet so then we called to complain to the 800 number and they said they were given a different story that they cancel it for the day because there wasn’t enough wildlife out there spent two hours on the phone arguing with them terrible place don’t book.
