Experience Pure Joy on the Water with Pura Vida Paddle
Pura Vida Paddle is now part of the Sunshine Paddle Adventures family. We are excited to bring more water recreation to the Waco area. There is nothing more relaxing than connecting with the water, slowing down and taking a moment to breath in life, and observe the beauty around you. Too many times we get tied up in our day to day routine and stress can overwhelm our lives. We have found pure joy and relaxation by getting on the water and enjoying the nature around us. Our goal is to help others connect to nature and be disciples of our Lord to bring a little sense of Heaven to Earth. It’s time to live Pura Vida (Pure Life)!

Lily Roberts2024-06-21I did paddle board yoga and it was such a fun experience! Erin and Blake are both so kind hearted and it’s obvious how much they care about their business and each person that comes to paddle board. Also an amazing community of people. 1000% recommend if you live in or are visiting Waco. Thanks Erin and Blake!Sarah Alpert2024-04-13We had a great experience with pura vida rentals! Location was easy to find using directions via Google maps. Staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We discussed options for the rentals and decided on kayaks as it was a windy day and the water was choppy. We were taking our 2.5 yr old on the water for the first time and came prepared with a life jacket appropriate for her weight; just fyi to any other parents, the smallest size they have available with the rentals is Youth which is a minimum of 50 lbs. The equipment was great quality and we had fun! Will definitely rent from them again.J M Bogguss2024-04-08Came in town for the Solar Eclipse a few days early. They were very friendly and helpful. I called 3-4 times for directions. They are in a temporary tent at the Southern Boat ramp. The rental was easy. Great flat water kayaking. Beautiful scenery.Jordan Myers2024-04-06Great price, great location, great people running it!! Couldn’t recommend a better spot whether it’s your first time or if you’re a pro.Dan Rettinger2024-01-23They also have a print shop and do great work. Friendly, fast, and reliable. Can always count on them for a fair price and great quality.Christi Ellis2023-06-27We took employees on a river outing and had so much fun! We had a range of new to paddling and previous experience paddlers and kayakers. Even in high temps it was refreshing and enjoyable (we hit the water about 4pm-6pm in June). You can easily skirt the edge to find shade and you definitely will love the sites of the cliffs of Cameron Park! So fun to see the cliffs from a new perspective. Don’t underestimate the value of getting outside and exploring new areas - even in Waco! Happy paddling!Load more
