Have such a good time getting the sun ! I loved to be on the water and seeing all the boats and wild life that lives in the ocean! The two boys that helped us was very cool and nice !

90 minute kayak, double tandem

Earlier the better to avoid other boat traffic. We were 10:30. We encountered no one paddling out, just a few paddling back.

Nice experience

Tracy_H, Apr 2024

Miguel was great! We got our kayaks and went out on our own. It felt like the trip went by too fast.

A great paddle

Iris_S, Jun 2023

We both really enjoyed paddling the beautiful back waters and seeing a different side to Fort Lauderdale

Las Olas is a great experience!

We loved it BUT...It was only my 2nd time ever (her 1st) and we didn't realize "instruction" would mean, giving us a map and sending us out on the water. We figured it out and still had fun.

Response from Host, May 2021

Hi Dawn - I'm sorry we didn't live up to expectations. Lesson or brief refresher are included with all rentals. I'm sorry if this did not suffice or if somehow you did not receive one. Feel free to reach out to us directly via email or phone if you would like to discuss this further.

Best staff, fun kayaking route!

Great day trip

I had been kayaking before so after a short land demonstration we were off. It was a little tough at first getting out to the channels because we were also with paddle boarders but once we were there it was smooth sailing. We were told of several different routes to take and the time requirements and they were right on the money. The views were spectacular seeing the waterfront homes and their yachts. Great way to spend a few hours and the price can't be beat. Highly recommend!
