About this activity
Paddle, Dock & Dine turns a kayak or paddleboard rental into a signature Central Florida experience. Guests explore the cypress-lined Dora Canal, travel onto Lake Eustis, and dock at a local waterfront restaurant for lunch before paddling back through the canal.
The extended five-hour rental provides time to enjoy the scenery, look for wildlife, take photos, and dine without feeling rushed. Guests receive stable, quality equipment, local route guidance, and 10% off their food and beverage purchase at The Fish Camp. It is a relaxed way to experience Old Florida at your own pace.
What to expect
Enjoy a leisurely 5-hour self-guided paddle through the scenic Dora Canal with a waterfront lunch stop along the way.
Your journey begins on Lake Dora in downtown Tavares. Choose a single kayak, tandem kayak, or paddleboard and travel through the cypress-lined Dora Canal, taking in the wildlife, shaded waterways, and Old Florida scenery at your own pace.
Continue onto Lake Eustis and dock at The Fish Camp for a relaxing waterfront lunch. Paddle, Dock & Dine guests receive 10% off their food and beverage purchase. After lunch, return to the water and paddle back through the Dora Canal to your original launch location in downtown Tavares.
Your equipment rental, paddle, life jacket, route guidance, and five hours of paddling time are included. Lunch is purchased separately.
