The Paddle Clinic introduces park visitors to canoing while building paddle skills and confidence. Biscayne National Park is 95% water and paddling is one of the best ways to explore the park. 

  • The trips are staff/weather dependent. Watch the weather and call (786)335-3620 the day before the trip to confirm. Know that trips can be cancelled up until the last minute.
  • All paddlers must be 11yrs+. Non-paddlers sitting in the middle must be 6yrs+. (Indicate age when signing up anybody under the age of 18.)
  • No experience necessary but comfortability on the water is required. This is a beginner course and is moderately strenuous.
  • Shoes and clothes that can get wet are required. Water bottles, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended.
  • Program duration is 90 minute but be flexible.
  • Please ensure that you’ve provided a local phone number or email address that you are able to check prior to the trip.
  • If you need to cancel, please call (786)335-3620 as soon as possible. These trips are in high demand and others would appreciate the opening.
