You will be picked up from wherever you are staying, or you will meet us at Cotton Landing in Vernon, Florida. Once there, we will get the paddleboards and put them in the creek and paddle for about 10/15 minutes downstream to Cypress Springs. We will then spend the rest of our day there enjoying the crystal clear beautiful water! When we’re ready to leave we will paddle back out upstream for 15/20 minutes and then be back home just in time for dinner.

Don’t worry! Paddleboarding is just as easy as kayaking. Despite the name “Stand Up Paddleboard”, you don’t have to stand up at all! You can sit, kneel, or do a headstand if you prefer. If you have a cooler you can even use it as a backrest. We have brought all shapes, sizes, and ages of people on our tours and have had NO issues! You will also have a tour guide to tow you or help teach you.
