This tour is specifically designed with beginners in mind, offering hands-on instruction in a calm, supportive setting on Lake Ivanhoe — one of Orlando’s most accessible and scenic waterways. The lake’s spring-fed, clear waters and absence of current, boat traffic, and alligators create an ideal environment for learning and building confidence.
What makes this experience unique is the rare combination of urban skyline views and peaceful water. Just minutes from downtown and about 25 minutes from Orlando’s major attractions, you’ll paddle in a setting that feels both vibrant and relaxed.
Whether you’re brand new to paddleboarding or simply looking to explore a new part of the city, our experienced guides provide personalized tips and encouragement using stable, easy-to-control boards and kayaks.
After your paddle, continue the experience in nearby Ivanhoe Village — a walkable district known for its local restaurants, parks, and lakeside atmosphere.

What to expect
Set on calm, spring-fed waters with no current, no boat traffic, and no alligators, Lake Ivanhoe offers a relaxed and safe environment for learning. As you glide across the lake, enjoy skyline views, fresh Florida air, and the chance to spot fish, turtles, birds, and occasionally playful otters.
Choose from clear paddleboards, clear tandem kayaks, traditional paddleboards, or kayaks to customize your experience. Your guide stays nearby throughout the tour, offering instruction, encouragement, and complimentary photos to capture your progress.
Family-friendly and beginner-friendly, this urban paddle blends city views with peaceful water — a unique way to experience Orlando beyond the theme parks.
