If you are looking for an experience that is both serene and thrilling, look no further than the motorized paddleboard tour at Crystal River Preserve. With Old Florida waters that are lively and exciting, it’s the perfect place to indulge in some much-needed relaxation or dive into the world of adventure. This is a seriously fun, unforgettable experience!
On the tour we will explore around the preserve, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. We might see alligators, manatees, different species of fish and birds.
Our electric paddleboards are wide and stable, even beginners will have a great time. All skill levels are welcome to join, we offer a lesson before each tour.
We typically cruise 4-6 mph but can paddle even faster if we want. Going on the days where the wind pushes you in the opposite direction ? Our PowerBoard keeps you on course going into the breeze. Finally, a watersport that everyone can enjoy!
What you will do

We will be adventuring through the state park canals and have a blast running the motors in smooth waters. A reservation is required for everyone joining the tour. Ages 13+ are welcome.
