Great day paddle boarding!

Joe at the desk was very friendly and took care of us. Noah, the guide, was super nice and knowledgeable. We would definitely take a tour with Three Brothers again!

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.

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
