Amazing Wildlife!! - Highly Recommend!!! What a great experience! Took my daughter and niece on this tour. They loved every minute of it. Our guide Roger did a fantastic job. We saw a ton of wildlife and learned so much about the history of the Springs. I typically don’t write reviews but I loved this so much I had to share.

Amazing trip - This was an amazing trip TJ was the best tour guide my husband and I saw dolphins and sting rays and we had a great time on the island. Walking out on the sand bar was so awesome I got to take some incredible videos of the dolphin they were so close to me. If you thinking about doing this trip you won’t be Sorry. If you’re looking for a date outing with your husband this is it.

We got to experience seeing manatees, dolphins, and crabs close up. We were very lucky to see a little bit of everything - Mike was such an awesome tour guide, he was very passionate with his role and we look forward to coming back again next year!

Relaxing and Fun! - This is great if you are looking for a fun relaxing time on the water. Our tour guide TJ was amazing, informative, and very kind. He answered any and all questions we had and while kayaking he went at our pace and never rushed us. We saw a whole bunch of dolphins and other animals throughout the trip. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys dolphins and the water!

Best first time experience - This was so much fun!!!! It was my first time seeing wildlife in FL and kayaking so TJ made me feel comfortable even when I was really nervous. He educated us and let us do our own thing too. We saw wild dolphins and picked up shells at the island. It was the best experience ever!!!!!

Make sure the weather is good before you go! - This was a pretty disappointing tour. We definitely didn't get our money's worth. It was a windy and stormy day for our tour. Looking back, I wish our tour guide would have said it's not the best weather for the tour and worked something out with us. It took us over 30 minutes to paddle to the island with waves coming over the front of the kayak. Our tour guide just kept saying to let him know if it got too bad. Like we would know what that looked like? We already were sitting in inches of water. He said maybe we could get a refund, but he wasn't sure because his bosses didn't usually do that. We were provided with child size paddles for the kayak. Our tour guide didn't know there were different sizes of kayak paddles. He said, "I thought all kayaks had the same standard size paddle." And his company only bought one size. Yikes! The paddle size definitely added to the time it took to get to and from the island and a lot of our energy. We didn't see anything on our 2 hour tour other than our guide picking up trash around the island and complaining about how bad humans are. I think our tour guide started to panic about not seeing anything on the island that he resorted to talking about dead fish carcasses and picking up trash. One side of the island he led us to, he didn't even look in the water for creatures. He just walked around picking up trash. We were confused about why we walked on that side of the island if there was nothing to see. After the tour ended, he asked for a tip and reviews because his boss told him he had to. He didn't ask how it went or what we thought. We did have to prompt our guide to take pictures. Once we got the only half, we didn't have his finger in it. So we should have taken our own instead of relying on our guide. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend Epic tours until they can get the right equipment for their customers and work with customers on days that it's not the best weather to be going out.
