Dragon Boat Paddle to Exchange Island | Saturday, July 26 from 8:45-11:30 a.m. starting from Arlington Marina

Learn the basics of paddling on a dragon boat, and paddle with us out to Exchange Island! The morning will start with a brief instruction on proper paddle technique and safety. Then we will shove off the doc and paddle over to Exchange Island. You will have time to explore the island and learn about it’s history, while enjoying the beauty of the St. Johns River. We will then paddle back to the marina to finish the adventure.

This excursion is led by AJ Alenduff and his team of Duval Dragons! Check them out on Meetup.
