Featured review

Louisa is an excellent paddleboard instructor and guide. She is knowledgeable in all manner of local flora and fauna, so it was educational as well! We were fortunate to encounter a devil ray, many manatees and scores of birds on bird island. The paddleboard trip was easily the most enjoyable outing of our vacation. Would absolutely recommend Doos to anyone and everyone! Thanks Louisa!

Manatee Sighting

Cassandra_G, Aug 2024

Doo provides an amazing and informative tour. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife in the area. We saw a manatee, lots of local birds and a dolphin! She also made sure to go at our pace and let us enjoy the outing. I would rebook with Doo and highly recommended her tour!

SUP Joy

Cyndy_H, Nov 2023

I try to squeeze in some SUP wherever I travel if possible, so was delighted to find Doo’s tour on Viator. Although we didn’t see any dolphins this day, Bird Island was amazing and I enjoyed seeing neighborhoods from the water. She did a great job navigating us around, was prepared with water for us to drink as it was July, and took some great pics for me. Would definitely recommend.

Great tour!

Marina_M, Oct 2022

We enjoyed our paddle boarding tour very much. Although complete newbies, we felt confident very soon. It was fun, relaxing, and a good exercise at the same time. We saw many bird spieces too. Louisa was wonderful and introduced us to the wildlife and historical sighs of the area. She also took wonderful pictures for us! We highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you both so much for your wonderful review! I am so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the tour!

Awesome excursion

Jack_D, Oct 2021

My wife and I booked this last minute. We wanted to try paddleboarding with experienced guides before purchasing our own boards. The weather, water, and wildlife conditions were perfect. Our guides Buck and Jackie were as well- knowledgeable, friendly, and chill. Our group was small, only 5 adults, but we blended very well. It was the most relaxing first-time experience we've ever had. We highly recommend this excursion.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you for your great review! So glad you had a great first experience on paddle boards and thanks for choosing us! Hope to see you next time you’re in town!
