About this activity

This is one of the only guided paddle experiences in Orlando designed specifically for guests bringing their dogs. Instead of leaving your pup behind, you’ll learn how to safely paddle together on calm, protected waters with guidance from instructors experienced in teaching both humans and their furry companions.

Lake Ivanhoe’s no-current, no-alligator environment creates a relaxed setting where beginners feel confident and dogs can settle in comfortably. We provide properly fitted life vests for pups if needed and share practical tips to help your dog feel secure on the board or kayak.

More than just a paddle lesson, this experience is about bonding, trust, and creating unforgettable memories with your best friend by your side.
