Sunset paddleboarding in Jupiter: Guided 90-minute paddle

Paddle calm backwaters at sunset and watch for manatees and dolphins

A 90-minute guided paddleboarding activity in Jupiter where you launch from Sawfish Bay Park into the Lake Worth Creek Aquatic Preserve and paddle through sheltered waterways to Fullerton Island, with the option to venture toward Jupiter Lighthouse or Coral Cove if you're an experienced paddler. A live English-speaking guide leads the group. The minimum age is 13, and you'll receive photos of the experience. Beginners are welcome on the standard route through the preserve.

The experience

You have a free afternoon or evening in the area and want to be on the water without a long drive or complicated setup. Meet your guide at Sawfish Bay Park, just south of the Loxahatchee River, and launch your paddleboard into the calm backwaters of the Lake Worth Creek Aquatic Preserve. The route stays in sheltered waterways, so even if this is your first time on a board, the conditions are forgiving. Experienced paddlers can ask to explore farther out toward Jupiter Lighthouse, Coral Cove, or the Loxahatchee Waterway instead.

The 90 minutes unfold as you paddle through scenic channels toward Fullerton Island. This is not a sightseeing tour where you sit and listen. You're doing the paddling, setting your own pace within the group. The water here draws manatees, dolphins, rays, juvenile sea turtles and wading birds, so keep your eyes on the surface and the shallows. The guide points out what appears and answers questions as you go. You'll receive photos of the experience afterward.

Sunset timing means the light changes as you paddle, and the water stays calm in the evening. The activity wraps before dark, so you're back on shore with time to grab dinner or head back to your hotel.

What’s included

• Paddleboard and guide for the full 90-minute paddle.
• photos of your experience.
