If you've never tried paddleboarding, Lauren at SWFL paddleboarding in Ft. Myers is the gal to take your 1st lesson with! She's great! And you get a naturalist lesson too, from a knowledgable person who makes you care about the environment & appreciate the beauty & wonder of the area while you're having great fun! More

I have been dying to try paddle boarding for months and finally had friends in town willng to try. We spent our first lesson at Bunche beach with Lauren and Virginia and the only complaint I have is that we didn't book a double session. Lauren and Virginia were both patient, funny, and extremely informative. This is a great first... More

After reading all the reviews about Lauren I can say they are all true. She was very patience and explained everything wonderfully . My wife and I had a great time except for my wet exit, but at least the water was warm. We highly recommend Lauren and would definitely use her again. Thank Lauren for getting us hooked on... More

Thanks Lauren for a great outing. We enjoyed the lesson and your knowledge of the local ecosystem. We had a blast and will definitely do it again. Your pictures were a nice touch to the experience (nothing but smiles in every shot). More

Lauren was a knowledgeable guide who shared many interesting facts about the area and wildlife on our tour. Paddleboarding is a great way to see the area as well. We were able to see many birds and even a dolphin on out tour. Although we had paddleboarded before, Lauren gave us some helpful tips to improve our skills. Also, for... More

Thank you Lauren!!! We all (5 adults aged 24 - 59) enjoyed our hour + with you. Your knowledge of the area and your passion for what you do were obvious from the moment we set out. A great activity for anyone looking to see a different side of Florida's waterways and get a workout in the process. Even some... More

I am not a brave sort but this just sounded too good to pass up ... and I am so glad I did it. Lauren is so supportive, an excellent motivator, knows her stuff inside and out and before you finish you will be on top of the world. She is a naturalist, exercise physiologist and totally green in her... More

I was in Fort Meyers for 24 hours for work and thought a little SUP time could make the trip more fun. Lauren was very responsive and timely in setting everything up. I did a 2 hour rental at Bunche beach and arrived at my meeting relaxed and sun kissed. Next time I want to spend more time in the... More

I called Lauren last minute to try and squeeze a lesson in before our flight out from Ft. Myers. Lauren answered her phone and rearranged her schedule to get us out on the water during the very small window we had to do it in, and seemed more than happy to do so. Neither my girlfriend nor I had any... More
