Three Brothers Boards is amazing!

The manatee and nature paddle board tour was amazing! Nick was our wonderful tour guide. He was exceptionally kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area and tour! All of the staff we encountered, including the owner Justin, were incredibly resourceful! The tour was beautiful and the perfect amount of time. Highly recommended touring with Three Brothers Boards and even buying a beautiful board from them!

On time & organized ...

On time & organized Informative Unfortunately no wildlife on our kayaking experience but weather was delightful

Operator response

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re really glad to hear you found the tour on time, organized, and informative—and that you were able to enjoy such lovely weather while kayaking out on the water. Sometimes those peaceful, scenic paddles can be just as memorable in their own way. We completely understand that wildlife is a big part of the experience, and while sightings can vary from day to day, our guides are always keeping a close eye out and sharing as much insight as possible about the ecosystem along the way. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope you’ll come back for another tour—next time, hopefully with plenty of wildlife to go along with the great conditions!

We were beginner boarders...

We were beginner boarders with 2 small kids. Each child rode with an adult, which worked out well. Our guide was helpful, patient and informative. We didn't see any manatees, but had a nice time on the water. We were paddling for about 1 1/2 hours.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about your tour experience! We're so glad that the whole family was able to come out on tour and you enjoyed getting to paddle and explore the area! We hope to see you again in the future on one of our many Dolphin and Manatee Adventure Tours!

Extremely disappointing

Waste of money I specifically booked on the river in Ormond Beach the day before they moved us to Daytona Beach on the intercoastal we saw zero wildlife except for a few bars that you can see every day in Florida anywhere though was absolutely worthless cruising around the intercoastal is like taking a walk around the city block it was near a wildlife total waste of money on time. Extremely disappointing
