Your River Adventure

Wekiva Island is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities in Orlando. Our vessel rentals are one of our most popular activities. They are first come, first served; we do not take reservations.

While you are here plan to stop by The Tooting Otter for refreshments or some great food from Without a Paddle Cafe.

All vessels must be returned by 6 p.m. the day of the rental and all vessel renters must complete our waiver.
