What To Expect
Take a 90 minute Private Paddle Boarding Adventure to Peanut Island with a South Florida Native and master naturalist. We will depart from our meeting location on paddle boards and paddle over to Peanut Island. Along the way we will be on the lookout for spotted eagle rays, manatees, sea turtles and beautiful colored sea stars. Once we reach Peanut Island we will paddle through a natural mangrove trail, to a man-made snorkeling lagoon or to the east side of the island. On our paddle over to peanut Island we will have to paddle across a boat channel, and may have to paddle against current or wind. Windy days can make this adventure more challenging. Have no fear your experienced guide we be there to help if needed. In the winter months we will be on the lookout for manatees who travel to this area in search of the warmer water. The water at Peanut Island during high tide is some of the prettiest crystal clear, aquamarine water around South Florida. Age requirement to paddle on own board is 13. Some paddling (paddle board, kayak or canoe) experience is suggested. If you’re a newbie to paddling we would recommend our Jupiter Location for an easier paddle boarding experience.

5.00My family had the best time paddle boarding to Peanut Island with South Florida Paddle. The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the marine life. it was a breezy day and we were a little nervous, but the guide coached us the entire way and made us feel at ease. The island was beautiful! we especially loved seeing the bright beautiful sea stars along with a sea turtle. Go first thing in the morning for a quiet enjoyable experience.
It was magical! Marissa...

5.00It was magical! Marissa was attentive to our skill levels and gave helpful advice about how to navigate the boards in slightly windy conditions. She was also diligent in pointing out all the marine life and making sure we knew what to look for. We saw a sea turtle, baby lemon sharks, colorful fish, a ray, iguanas, and the star of the show - manatees! This was an unforgettable experience.

5.00Very pleased with our Peanut Island Paddle Boarding Activity. This was our third time joining South Florida Paddle, but first time going to Peanut Island. The water was amazingly beautiful and full of life!! A true treasure not to be missed. I loved seeing all the tropical fish, the brightly colored starfish., manatee and sea turtle. I think the coolest animal we spotted with the juvenile sharks. just so neat to see them in the wild in the beautiful water. We love paddle boarding with South Florida Paddle. Can't wait to go again! Best guides in the area.
5 Star Peanut Island SUP Tour

5.00Fun experience paddle boarding with Marissa from South Florida Paddle. Due to being experienced paddler boarders we picked the Peanut Island Paddle trip. The water was some of the prettiest I have seen! We paddled over rocks with tropical fish swimming below. Next we paddled into a lagoon where we visited with manatees and spotted so many iguanas. this was such a fun experience. The paddling level was just right for us. I could see how this could be a little more of a challenge for a beginner on a windy day. For Us it was a 5 star experience and we will definitely be back.
