- carolynp9130 contributionsA beautiful time to rest in nature.Such a fun trip! Roger was an awesome guide, super chill and great at answering all our questions. There’s something about being out in nature in a restful, quiet place that heals my busy heart. It was about 60 degrees, but we weren’t cold. Amazing that the water was warmer than the air! Definitely worth a visit!!Written January 15, 2025
- X729QPrebeccam0 contributionsKayaking in OrlandoI went with 3 of my girlfriends and we all had a great time exploring the lakes. Mike was our guide and he pointed out the fish, plants, and bird varieties. Beautiful water day in Orlando!Written January 13, 2025
- B8498MHrussellg0 contributionsSunset tourOur kayaking trip was nothing short of amazing! We got to see dolphins and tons of other wildlife. We learned a ton of fun facts and had such a great sunseg tour with Savannah! We even got to hold a small jellyfish! Overall, a great experience and something that I would recommend for anyone in the area!Written January 8, 2025
- 182cynthias0 contributionsFun trip and beautiful sceneryIf you want to see the Manatee you need to select an early morning tour. We were able to see lots of the wild monkeys and several alligators basking in the sun. Also lots of turtles and birds. The guides used the paddle board which I feel gives a better view looking down. Most of the kayaks were scratched up and not real “see through” FYI. It was a fun time but plan to go back and rent through the park where I can go along on my own. There were two guides as well had a large group. Our guide left people behind and didn’t do well keeping wild young men under control who yelled, splashed and raced around. I was only able to hear the guide a few minutes on the whole tour and unless you were right behind him, probably missed a lot. The park is beautiful and worth spending time walking the trails. Food is available inside the park. Great place to visit.Written January 2, 2025
- 768brew0 contributionsShould definitely go!It was absolutely amazing! We saw a lot of things, and saw the beautiful wild life! Bryce was our guide and he was hilarious, as well as very informative.Written December 31, 2024
- victoriabR9455JA0 contributionsStuck in rain- made the best of itStuck in torrential downpours but saw many birds, and a baby gator- no manatees unfortunately. Guide was friendly and courteous.Written December 31, 2024
- Ben G0 contributionsNice river, terrible outfitter and equipment.The river was beautiful. And the animals too. There were many outfitters. This one was not good in comparison. Epic paddling adventures. Their clear boats were more scratched up than the other outfitters' boats laying near them. The seats were the most basic slightly padded ones held by straps, vs much more padded ones in the boats around us. Their life jackets were disgusting and all had dark rings around the neck area. My girlfriend wanted to throw up when putting it on. I simply didn't. And the guide said, safety third. The tour was supposed to start at 10:00 and go to 12. Two hours. We had a single disorganized guide and late other clients, so we didn't start the tour until 10:40. Yet, we got out of the water at 11:50. We were rushed through the course, rather than allowed to enjoy the river at a vacation pace. So much for the promised 2-hour tour.Written December 30, 2024

This was my first time kayaking with my Boston Terrier (Bruno) and it was the BEST!!!
I was able to book the kayaking tour the evening before with no issues. Everything went smoothly online and completing the paperwork was a breeze even with my limited computer skills.
The location was easy to find and there was unlimited free parking. We were there early so we were able to check out the lake, kayaks and dock. We were provided life-vests (even doggie sized!). I was not sure how Bruno would do but Lindsey (the tour operator) was great with Bruno and helped relieve my stress. She even brought her Boston Terrier!
It was a lovely day, easy paddling, wonderful company and beautiful scenery. Advanced or beginner, local or here on vacation, I could not recommend this family business more highly! In fact, I am booking our next adventure with Epic Paddle right now!! I think we will try Silver Springs next....
Thank you so much for a wonderful day!

My 5 year old daughter had an amazing time once we got in the middle of the lake she did not want to go back! She enjoyed her time with the puppy and kayaking. I would highly recommend booking with epic paddle adventures especially if you have little ones and looking for something to entertain them. Once we got home my daughter asked when are we going back again.

What a unique Florida experience for the family! While I had paddleboarded before, my family had not. I wasn’t sure how it would go. Right away our guide Rich and his wife Jenni put everyone at ease. The kids loved the puppy and bunny and managed to not only stand on their boards but also paddle while standing. We were able to hop in the lake to cool off and enjoyed great conversation and beautiful views. I’d highly recommend Epic Tours!

We had the most amazing experience paddle boarding with Sarah the pup. This is our first time paddle boarding and our tour guide TJ was so helpful and put us at ease with his calmness and sense of humour! He was brilliant. Sarah was super cute too 🐶. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.

This was by far one of the best, most memorable experiences I've ever had. Rich took his time to teach me the basics of paddle boarding, and was super fun to hang out with as well pointers about Orlando.
And hanging with Fiona and Sara was amazzzzzzzzzing. Seriously, I had so much fun, first time hanging with a bunny, let alone on a paddle boat. It was like therapy, just kicking it with lil guys and Rich was a great tour guide and friend to have guide me. I was here solo on a business trip, and it felt like I was just hanging out with friends.
I met Jenny after the trip, and while I didn't paddle boat with her, Rich and Jenny were a dynamic duo and Jenny was an absolute gem to talk to afterwards. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Don't even think twice about booking a trip, it is 110% worth it and then some. Hope whoever's reading this get's a chance to experience the adventure that awaits :)

My 13 year old daughter was in heaven...paddle boarding is one of her favorite water adventures and adding Fiona, the bunny and the adorable pug was icing on the cake. Angie was an excellent guide and my daughter loved every minute of it. Can't wait to come back and try it again.
