Amazing! Absolutely loved it - I went with my family for a 2 hour tour, our guide was Ben. It was very enjoyable plus Ben gave a vibe similar to a chill bartender. He was laid back and had really cool tattoos. He told us funny stories and just brought a good time. Plus he offered us cold water which was really nice. We had a turtle count of 40, and I thought it was a very fun game of counting. Would 1000% go again.

Fabulous 2 hours of peace and beautiful nature in Orlando! - We had a 2 hour rental today at Lake Ivanhoe... for 3 of us, 2 paddleboards and a clear kayak. Booked on the website, had a quick skim through the Facebook page too beforehand. Easy to book, great price, good communication via email prior to our visit. Was perfect, Mike was great (and totally hilarious!!) Lovely scenery, peace away from the typical buzz of Orlando... saw plenty fish, birds and turtles. A great way to spend a couple of hours chilling away from it all. 100% recommend... and we would definitely go again when back in Orlando.

Kayak Adventure - We would like to give you the best advice, when you book with Epic Paddle Adventures, be sure to get Roger as your guide. This man is incredible. His level of professionalism is off the charts. He heard that we had arrived early for our scheduled appointment, an hour early to be exact, he showed up in 15 minutes, just to be sure we didn't have to stand around. His knowledge of the springs, it's historical background were all shared with us. He told us where we would see wildlife, and we did. Several gators, one very large one. AMAZING! And do you know the story behind the monkeys? We do ! Now that Roger shared it with us. If you want to know about the monkeys, you will just have to ask Roger on your trip. And,,he s a great photographer too ! Thanks Roger. Jean and Pickles.

We'll Be Back - My wife and I booked this adventure the last night of our vacation and it was an awesome way to finish up a great week. Mike was a super guide that made the excursion fun and fact filled. The LED’s in the kayaks gave a view of the lake you don’t normally get and my wife couldn’t stop taking pictures. Thanks Mike to you and everyone that helped make our last night in Florida awesome.
