Dino and Fernando, the husband/wife owners of SUP Eco Adventures, offer stand-up paddleboarding with fantastic instruction and group as well was private tours. My daughter, who was 10 at the time of this trip, opted for a private tour because she had never done paddle boarding previously. Both Dina and Fernando came along with us and gave us so much individual attention and instruction that there was no way we would be anything but successful. They customized our time together to suit my daughter's needs and comfort level and she left feeling like a pro with the confidence to come back. They also took some great photos for us. It was a fantastic experience and I was grateful for their careful attention. I cannot wait to go back. read more

My girlfriend was eager for us try paddleboarding together, so I decided to surprise her with a paddleboarding outing for her birthday. Looking online for options in the Melbourne, FL area, I found SUP Eco Adventures. It was highly rated on TripAdvisor, so I thought I would give it shot: I was not disappointed. We booked a morning tour, and possibly because it was close to the holidays, we ended up getting a private session with the amazing Dina! She was extremely friendly and made sure that we had a great time. Her instructions and tips for using the paddleboard were clear and concise, and she had us out enjoying ourselves on the water in no time. Our tour launched from Honest John's Fish Camp and took us through different channels on the Indian River. Dina was quite knowledgeable and provided us with plenty of background on the local vegetation and animal wildlife. The weather that day was amazing and the water was very calm. This made for an excellent experience for a couple of SUP newbies. Plus, we managed to spot some dolphins and a manatee on our tour! If you're in the area and looking for something to do, I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

We went on our third trip with Dina and Fernando. As with the other trips, we had a great time! Every aspect of the trip was very professional. Skip the impersonal theme parks and spend time with nature! read more

Dina and Fernando were such a pleasure to be with. Very knowledgeable about the local environment, patient with boarders of different skill levels and pleasantly hospitable. Dina even balanced a cooler full of water bottles and granola bars on her board the whole trip. (#props!) We had a small group of 5 and had plenty of individual attention but were encouraged to explore further when appropriate. Saw manatees feeding on mangroves, some dolphins, lots of beautiful birds, little jumping fish and plenty of vegetation. Experiencing manatees going about their lives undisturbed, up close and in their natural habitat is just incredible. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Sup Eco Tours gave my husband and me a day we will never forget! Dina and Fernando are excellent guides. So kind and helpful. It was my first time on a paddle board and they helped me feel comfortable and confident. We saw several manatee (including a mama and baby!) and a dolphin. I would highly recommend this business for a paddle boarding experience. read more

I had such an amazing experience paddleboarding with Dina and Fernando last thursday! We went out for a 2 hour tour in the morning and I was honestly blown away. The location is gorgeous, the guides are both incredibly helpful and fun, and we saw dolphins zooming around feeding while fish were jumping out of the water! You get a quick and easy tutorial from Dina on dry land, then you're off! If you fall off, no big deal. the water is shallow. They bring waters and snacks out on the tour too. Fernando also snaps away and posts all pictures for you on their facebook site so you can have some memories from the trip without risking your own phones out on the water :) read more

Oh yes save up yer quarters and go do this. Pelicans in the bay, Dolphins play just 15 ft from your board. Our hosts learned everyone's name, carried water and granola bars like mom would and snapped family photos so we didn't have to risk dropping our cameras. Fernando and Dina love this business like their baby and it's easy to see why. My kids had a blast, learned new board tricks and now want to live in FL. Go here. You won't be sorry. read more

Amazing experience! We were first-timers, but there were people that had paddle boarded before on our tour and everyone was able to have a great tour together! Instruction and tips made it easy to catch on fast and have an incredible time! read more

RIP-OFF! RUDE! ...and nothing to see! Paid a ridiculouse $5 launch fee to launch my own paddleboard...RIP-OFF! you can go for free anywhere else in town with your own board. The worst part, the guy running the place was rude and wouldn't let me spray off my board after my session. Said he just doesn't like people to use the hose....so not really sure what I paid $5 for... Didn't see any wildlife. I saw way more wildlife (birds, manatees, & dolphins) at Paradise Paddle in Melbourne on US1. Also, the people there were WAY nicer...offered us beer and a free sunset paddle session. GO THERE INSTEAD!!! read more

We booked a last minute paddle boarding appointment with Dina and Fernando. They weren't planning on staying open in the afternoon but were more than happy to work us into a 2pm time slot because of the favorable weather forecast. Before we went out on the water, Dina and Fernando showed us the ropes of paddle boarding. They were patient and thorough in their demonstrations and explanations for navigating the water. Beyond that, they are incredibly knowledgeable about manatees, dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife native to the area. Our two hours on the water flew by. It's obvious that they are both passionate about their work and the Florida ecosystem. We feel fortunate to have paddle boarded on a day when we saw numerous manatees - and even saw a dolphin at the end! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and Dina and Fernando made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommended! read more

Nice friendly knowledgeable. Great time. Will go back and do it again. We saw bonnet head shark, playful dolphins, manatees, snook, giant roosters, and a 300lbs hog. Veteran Owned. read more

I had an amazing time on this tour! Dina & Fernando had a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife & mangroves seen! Manatees & dolphins, both with their young decided to grace us with their presence :-) Absolutely awesome experience while still respecting the habitat! I would highly recommend their tour! Can't wait to visit again :-) read more

Dina and Fernando are wonderful and the paddle route is exciting. They make you feel very comfortable and prepared. We saw 6 dolphins, birds, fish and a bonnet head shark! Would recommend 100%, even if you've paddled before. read more
