WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING

Simon Dayan
A friend and I did the two hour long kayaking tour and it was a great activity to spend a beautiful morning on the water. Our tour guide was very informative and fun and showed her love and passion for nature. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town to try paddle boarding!
Moe
Awesome mountain biking trails for this area. I really didn’t think id find anything decent but I had a great time and the rest of the park is also gorgeous and a vibe!
Janean Wagner
My husband and I rented single kayaks for enjoying a paddle in the park and to sand spur island to meet the friendly raccoons. It did not disappoint. The paddle is a definite workout especially across the bay but worth every drop of sweat to meet the friendly masked bandits. They loved the red grapes and bananas (they seemed the favorites). The paddle back to the launch wasn’t near as bad. The staff was very friendly and super helpful with all my questions, not to mention amazing customer service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a fun paddle in the Miami area.
Ilan Bortnik
Nice place, easy to arrive and very friendly staff, I got to meet Tony, the manager of the kayaking place and was very nice getting to know him and to have the kayaking experience, unfortunately the weather forces us to go back after about an hour but, it was worth and best part they charge when you’re back so you don’t have to pre pay for time that maybe you’re not going to be there or either way if you got to extend the experience you don’t have to do 2 times the same process. Hope to be back next time in Miami.

Oleta River Adventures and State Park is a refreshing little piece of quiet nature nestled in the middle of concrete chaos. The staff are friendly, kind and accommodating. Our entire kayakiing experience from start to finish was enjoyable. Honestly, the patient staff members were awesome!
