Such a good time
Vanessa was amazing and so much fun! I highly recommend this to anyone coming to the area. It was beautiful on the canals seeing all the lights. I was worried about falling but didn't lol it was actually a lot easier than I thought. A must do in fort lauderdale! I will book with her again!
C
They said I was the only person for the event!!!!
They canceled on me how can you waste my time saying im the only person that is scheduled.
Operator response
I notified the guest hours before the experience that she was the only guest tonight to know if she was ok with that, for her message I noticed that she didn’t want to do it as a solo guest. I ask her if she want to reschedule it to do it with more people or if she want a refund and she said a full refund. I canceled the experience and she received a full refund. The review is not fair because she didn’t participate for the experience.

Must do fun and unique experience!
This was the perfect excursion. Vanessa was a great instructor, photographer, and welcoming host. This gave us such a beautiful view of Fort Lauderdale, it was truly spectacular to see the city from the river at night. This was such a fun experience thanks to Vanessa!

Magical Moonlit Paddle Boarding
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Magical Moonlit Paddle Boarding with Vanessa! I had an unforgettable time paddle boarding with Vanessa! From the start, she was super accommodating, incredibly friendly, and made the whole evening feel truly special. Her positive energy set the tone for an amazing night. We learned how to paddle board within minutes thanks to her clear, fun guidance. Then we danced under the stars, shared some laughs, and even enjoyed a couple of beers while basking in the moonlight. The whole experience felt like something out of a dream. Vanessa brings the perfect mix of chill and fun, and I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re looking for a unique and magical way to spend an evening, this is it!
