Sunshine Paddle Tours is a Florida-based outdoor adventure company, with Sebastian Inlet State Park Marina as our primary and active location. We specialize in providing easy access to Sebastian Inlet State Park through a variety of outdoor experiences designed for all skill levels.
At Sebastian Inlet State Park, we offer kayak rentals, stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals, canoe rentals, and bike rentals, giving guests multiple ways to explore the park’s scenic waterways and coastal landscapes. Whether you’re paddling through the calm lagoon or riding along park trails, each option allows you to experience the natural beauty of the area at your own pace.
For those seeking a guided experience, we offer kayak tours and guided eco tours led by knowledgeable local guides. These small-group tours focus on wildlife, the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem, and conservation, providing a deeper and more educational experience on the water.
Our mission is to create meaningful outdoor adventures while promoting environmental responsibility and respectful wildlife viewing. We are committed to protecting Sebastian Inlet State Park and supporting the preservation of Florida’s natural habitats.
While we plan to expand to additional Florida locations in the future, Sebastian Inlet State Park Marina remains the core of our operations and the best place to enjoy our kayak rentals, SUP rentals, canoe rentals, bike rentals, kayak tours, and guided eco tours today.
Sunshine Paddle Tours is a family-run business, built on our love for nature and adventure. We’re not a large corporation, but a hands-on family team who truly cares about every guest on the water.
