Wekiva Island is an environmentally friendly destination located in Longwood, Florida along the beautiful Wekiva River offering canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals, cabana rental, food truck and beer and wine bar! Wekiva Island is your gateway to real Florida fun—an eco-friendly destination on the beautiful Wekiva River in Longwood, just outside Orlando. Explore the water with canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals provided by Paddleboard Orlando, or unwind on land with over 2,000 square feet of riverside recreation. From private cabanas to year-round events, we offer something for everyone—with sustainability, education, and art at the heart of it all. Our Mission
Wekiva Island is a family-owned and operated business. When we purchased this incredible property, we wanted our business to reflect what was important to us. Because of that, Wekiva Island is driven by three pillars: Sustainability, Education and Art. We are dedicated to leading the way as a green business, sharing what’s remarkable about this location with our patrons and imparting more beauty into the world than we found. It is our hope that you will see these values reflected throughout our property, that they will touch and change you, and that you will carry them with you when you leave this special place.

Something spooky is coming to the river this October.

Step inside Cypress Coven Cove, our Canoe Cabana transformed into a haunted riverside retreat inspired by the legend of the Swamp Spell Society. Hidden beneath the cypress trees, you'll find floating candles, spell books, potion bottles, eerie relics, and plenty of old Florida folklore.

Cypress Coven Cove is available October 1–31 and accommodates up to 25 guests, or pair it with our neighboring VIP Cabana for gatherings of up to 50.

Gather your coven and reserve your date before October disappears. https://bit.ly/3Sp4YL5

Your mornings have a new home.

Meet The Early Otter, Wekiva Island’s new coffee bar located inside the Tooting Otter. Grab a cup and settle in by the river.

And because caring for the river is always part of what we do, sustainability is built into the experience, from lower-impact drinkware to finding a second life for our used coffee grounds.

Brooke has seen some things behind this bar.

A guest tried to sneak a rum bottle onto the Island inside a hollowed-out loaf of bread. The bread made it in. The rum did not.

Points for creativity, though. What's the wildest thing you've seen out on the water? Drop it in the comments. 👇
