Paddle Florida is one of the best vacation bargains around; you'll be surprised how little the cost for a fully supported tour through Florida's wild and scenic country.

Group Retreats: Special group rates are available for organized groups of five or more. This is an excellent opportunity for company groups to share a Paddle Florida river adventure and save $50 on each full registration fee. This reduced rate is available to "thru-paddlers" on our week-long river trips when you register as a group on the registration form. See your proposed trip's registration form for more details.

To Register: Complete and mail in the registration form with a check or money order and your required waiver (You must submit a signed waiver to participate in Paddle Florida. Download the waiver form here.) Other stuff for registered paddlers can be found at the "paddler.info" page appropriate to your selected trip.

Meal Registration : Save money and the hassle of carrying your own meals. Join our Full Meal Deal package. See registration for each event for specific details.

Meal packages are optional, but we recommend the Full Meal Deal.  Approximately a month before the event, we will finalize the menu and post it to the website.  Please check back for the trip's menu.

Each meal will be catered by professional caterers or local civic groups. Expect hearty, hot and tasty fare for breakfast and dinner. Each day's lunch stop (all you care to eat) will include fruit, cookies, PBJ sandwiches, water, fluid replacements and surprises.

Once you've filled out the registration, download a liability waiver form for each participant and send it in with your registration. Also visit other pages on this Website for information about shuttle services, and other essential information.
