Our guide made the trip about us and what we wanted to do. We saw sting ray, dolphin and a gator on the dolphin tour in Titusville. He also showed me how superior his pump for inflating my board was to mine. I took a snap of the box and ordered it! Now I will not have to wonder how much PSI is in my board, if Im over or under inflating!
I have taken several excursions with Epic Paddle on 2 Silver Spring runs and several on Lake Ivanhoe. The staff was very helpful with assisting kayaks and first time stand up paddle board activists looking for a great tour experience. Angie really stood out with her patience and attention to detail to be sure everyone had a great time. She started each excursion giving thorough instruction on how to stand up from a knee position on a SUP to how to efficiently hold the paddle and propel and turn. She was engaging and social with everyone. Photos were taken and given access to download and commemorate with family and friends. I look forward to doing this again with Epic and will be sure Angie will be a guide on the tour.
Such a fun experience! Angie and Kim were wonderful hosts. They were both so kind and patient as they taught my boyfriend and I how to paddle board since it was a first time for both of us. Amazing views and relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves outdoor activities or is looking for a new and fun adventure!
Rich was amazing! I booked a trip out for filming purposes. Rich was super helpful on picking good sites, getting everyone situated on their kayak safely, and making sure we had a fantastic time on the water. I can not recommend Epic Paddle enough. The best experience I could ask for!
As an older person who is not what you would call physically active I had trepidations about the whole paddle board thing. Then I saw Richard and I thought, what have I gotten myself into..... This guy looks like a linebacker. With Richards guidance and Jennys encouragement before I knew it I was paddling around like a pro. The two of them are so very patient and I can tell that they really love people and love to share the wonderful adventures that central Florida holds. I would encourage people of all ages to try out paddle boarding with Richard and Jenny at Epic Paddle Adventures. It really is so much easier (and more fun) than you ever thought it would be. You could not find sweeter people than Richard and Jenny to spend time on the water with.
The best time! Both guides were so easy going and helpful. Beautiful lake, cant wait to come back! Will definitely be doing it again. 10/10 would recommend
Veteran/dog-lover review! READ THIS: If youre in the area, this should be your choice for any paddleboard or kayaks. By all means the best company all around, and the people only make it better!The first time I went, Tracy and Richard helped me when I just got my puppy to get him on the SUP and experience the happiness of paddle boarding together, and it was perfect!A year later, I chose to bring my ex-military dog, a 13-year-old Belgian shepherd in hopes I can get her to enjoy this wonderful experience. Richard and Tracy took the time to work with me and get us the perfect paddle board, to FIT BOTH DOGS and myself, and give us the best few hours weve had together ever.Will return and continue to send people your way - THIS IS HOW A BUSINESS SHOULD RUN!Thank you so much, 5 stars. ♥
I have used Epic Paddle a few times in the past. Absolutely LOVE THEM. Had great experiences from start to finish. Special shout-out to Angie! Shes the BEST! She took some amazing photos of me and my fiancé that were fantastic. Highly recommend Epic Paddle for anyone looking for an awesome experience!!
Kimberly and Shannon were EXCELLENT guides for this super unique excursion. They were personable and informative and so much fun. I did the glow boarding and it was so beautiful and serene. I will definitely go back!
Nothing but great, fun experiences with this company. Such happy and awesome people. I did a bio tour with Rich Gallagher a few times, I’m very nervous with being on the water but he made me feel safe and had such a great positive vibe, and should I also mention very handsome 😁 Shout out to Epic paddle adventures for everything you do and making every adventure a great one !!!
I had such a wonderful experience! Fun, relaxing, and I definitely want to do it again. Side note: I dropped my phone in the water, so dont be like me, haha. Order a floating or waterproof case prior to your tour and wear a swimsuit under some active wear just in case you get wet.
First time paddle boarder and I had the best time! The guides were great! Super patient and fun to be around. Tracey was very attentive and kept an extra eye on my wandering preteen son. Angie takes great photos so you’ll have the experience documented without worrying about having to constantly take your phone out on the water. Even as a local this was a great way to see parts of the city in a new and special way. Would definitely recommend!
Awesome experience with awesome people! Richard is most intuitive and covers every base from first timers to the old salts! Great work to the whole gang!
Honestly it was the BEST date my boyfriend and I could have done together! Angie was very professional, positive vibes and great instructing us the whole way :) It was an experience that we recommend everyone doing if you have the chance and even better if you can find an instructor like Angie to guide and help you along the way. Thank you so much for allowing us to have such an amazing time!! ♥️
I just enjoyed a beautiful experience with my daughter on a tour with Epic! We did the bioluminescent paddle, and it was so cool! I had no prior experience with SUP, and my daughter had only tried it once, but Aaron, Sonny, and Scott got us going and made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time.The timing was perfect to first enjoy the sunset and then the fantastic glowing dinoflagellates after dark. (It helped that it was a new moon.) We had plenty of time on the sandbar to rest and play before paddling back, and the gear was all taken care of for us.I feel well probably check out some of their other tours while considering what type of boards or kayaks we might want to purchase in the future, and I recommend Epic for others who are looking for a guided paddle experience. We had a great time!
We had a great time with Epic Paddle Adventures! It was a great way to see the water and get close to nature. We had some beginners and some more experienced paddleboarders in our party and they were great. They showed our beginners what to do and even had a giant paddleboard that even I could not even fall off of. I would do it again and I highly recommend them.
I actually requested a double kayak for my hubs and I since we were bringing our Corgi for her first water adventure. The guides helped those who were paddle boarding for the first time learn what to do and we hung out on the beach until everyone was ready.(Call ahead if you want to bring pets just to be sure it can work, our dog is 15lbs and small so I dont know if a big dog could fit safely)It was an easy paddle over and back. We did the bioluminescent night tour and the little walk on the beach was nice and gave us a chance to see the glow away from the city lights. But the best view was the paddle back after it was nice and dark.
Wow. What an incredible experience. We were looking for something fun to do outside of the standard beach and theme park scene and this was it. The staff were friendly and helpful and worked with the kids to ensure that they were safe and having fun. My 9 year old wasn’t doing the best with her paddling, but that was totally ok because the amazing guides tethered her up with me and all was well. And if you’re worried about standing up and paddling, don’t be! You can just as easily sit. If you want a memorable Florida experience, this is it. You won’t soon forget seeing the sun set over the water and the night sky.
Shannon and Kimberly were amazing tour guides. I had an amazing time paddle boarding with them. They made me forget the troubles in the world for a couple of hours. I highly recommend them.
My family and I were in Orlando for a few days to have a vacation and enjoy time with one another. We surprised the kids with this activity to try something different. They loved it and so did we. We would definitely do this again. The lights under our paddleblards were super cool and the water felt great. Angie, Cheyenne and Aaron were great tours. They made you feel at ease and were very knowledgeable and personable. Try it out!
My wife and I booked this to try something different as we are on vacation from Ireland and we’d never done anything like stand-up paddle boarding before. We are so glad we did! It was really good fun, and as beginners it was easier than expected. Angie our guide was brilliant and very reassuring. We started off in the evening when it was still light and as it got dark the neon lights under the board were very cool! We’d definitely recommend this to anyone considering giving it a go, it was well worth the money and we will be back!
Did the glow tour 7-14.. Angie, Niki, and Cheyenne (sorry if I spell names wrong 😅) were the best! Super chill vibes, they’re all extremely patient and informative. It was a very exciting yet peaceful experience.. 10/10 highly recommend! I will be booking again in the future!
Excellent experience with Epic Paddle Adventures! We got rained out the first time, but they offered us a credit or refund. We took the credit and returned a few weeks later. AMAZING bioluminescence tour, it was magical. We loved our guide, Aaron!
Great for beginners, I was nervous because it was myself and my two kids. We felt safe the entire time and we had a amazing time! My kiddos can’t wait to go back out! Thank you for a great end to our holiday weekend!
This is a must do experience.I HAD A GREAT TIME on the lakes and cant wait for the next trip with themRich was an 15 on a scale of 10. He made me feel as if I was the only person there.Great experience and great Guide.
What a great experience!! Loved it! And loved my tour guide, Richard!! Such an awesome man, great convo the entire time. Patient! And someone to learn from! Loved the positive and welcoming experience!! 100% recommended!! Thanks Rich!!
My best paddling experience of all time with this outfit. I now plan to do 1-2 per week with them and highly recommend to anyone visiting Orlando or any paddlers, newbie to experienced, living in the area. Super fun group and the locations they choose are amazing. They have a diverse selection of boards and I suggest trying the night light paddle on Lake Ivanhoe at least once. Cant wait to get out with them again!
Rich is Amazing! Had a great time. l cant think of a better place to have spent my Sunday morning. l so loved the experience. Went in clueless, came out feeling like a pro.
Richard is the bomb! Not my first time paddle boarding but he taught me some new skills! Highly recommend to everyone! You will love it!
This was the best excursion that I’ve ever done! Richard was amazing and a fabulous teacher!
Angie was the absolute BESTEST!!! My fears melted away and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I will be signing up for more adventures with Angie and Epic Paddle Adventures.
Had an awesome time! Super welcoming and personable. They had fun with us and were super creative! Everyone was friendly and had a great one on one time as we were out on the water.
Rich is a great teacher! I was nervous about trying out paddleboarding, but it turned out to be a great experience. Rich was funny and kept us entertained while teaching. Highly recommend him for beginners.
I always have a great time when I go. Rich was an excellent guide and always very helpful. He always makes us feel welcome when I go. Really recommend this place.
Ive done 3 tours with this group and they are the best. One tour and youre hooked! I always feel welcomed and the guides are all super friendly and tend to all paddlers skill levels. Never a disappointment to paddle with this group.
This is my first try this kind of sport and it was amazing!! If I had to use words to describe my experience, it would never be enough because it was so amazing 😍 Because here I met the greatest instructors, they are very funny, friendly that makes you feel so comfortable and less nervous. I’m not boost up anything here, you can come and try it by yourself, then thank me later 😌
This was my first time paddle boarding and I absolutely loved it! Angie was such a joy and made the experience even better. It rained/ thundered during the original event time but they were able to post pone it til the rain ended and still give us what we wanted. Would definitely go again!
This trip was on my bucket-list and Im so glad to experience it with Epic Paddle Adventures! They are professional, fun and just wonderful! I recommend the Bioluminescence trip, you will see the water glowing at night when you move in the water, you will also see dolphins and jumping fish! its just a great experience! thank you guys!!
Had a great time!! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. So fun to paddle board at night with the lights and the water was nice and warm so even falling in is enjoyable
Aaron was a fantastic guide and this was an EPIC experience. Bioluminescence paddleboarding for the win.
This was a girls trip and none of us had paddle boarded before. We wanted to try something new. We all were kind of nervous but Tracy easier our minds. She was a great instructor. This was a great activity and I would do it again. Thank you Tracy and Lake Life Paddle for teaching us something new!
It was super cool seeing the bioluminescence going on up there all over the place. It was like being surrounded by epic lightning ghost fish. Our guide, Aaron, was excellent. Good leader, on point with the jokes, everything youd want in a guide. I think perhaps even my mother-in-law was partial to him as well ;). Time will tell. Thanks for a great experience!!!!
I always have a good experience with Lake Life Paddle. Their owners Jenny and Richard care tremendously about what they do and the tours they provide. They not only go to local lakes but also the intercostal and many springs. Their tour guides are also very knowledgeable and caring people. I enjoyed recently the glow paddle at Lake Ivanhoe it was breathtaking to see the gorgeous sunset and the paddle boards and kayaks glowing at night. Lake life paddle provides everything you need for your tour at an excellent price. They also specialize on people who are beginners and since Richard is a teacher he gives Precise instructions and get you paddling like a pro in no time! It was my personal experience after being terrified and shaking like a leave, he got me to be confident and going with no issues at all. Jenny is a yoga instructor and she has paddle yoga tours which are amazing as well. I highly recommend these tours to anyone, children adults and seniors.
Shannon and Kim were absolutely amazing!!! The tour was great and their energies were so much better! I would recommend this to any and everyone
Such a fun experience! The tour guides were awesome. Would 10/10 come back and do it again. I recommend the night time tour.
We attended the 10pm program on 7/23/21 and it was awesome! It was my first time Paddle Boarding and the instructors (Jenny/Angie) made me feel comfortable. I enjoyed it!Chrystal G.
It was a great experience! We brought along our own dog who had a lovely time on the paddle boards with us. The lakes are BEAUTIFUL and more importantly, not a single alligator in sight!
Im telling you right now, if you want an amazing adventure when you visit or even live in Orlando, this is the place to go. I live in Orlando and the bioluminescence tour is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. And any tour I attended they never ceise to amaze. Do it you wont be sorry. Thanks guys!
The experience was so much fun!!! I’ve never paddle boarded before and the entire process was so smooth. Everything was a step by step and constant reassurance. I recommend trying to stand on the paddle board on your way out rather than back to the dock, or just keep in mind the direction of the wind. The wind makes it so much harder but it was so much fun!!! I sat and kneeled and stood and never fell!! lol. Her dog was so calm and sweet and loved the treats they provided, she’s a pro on the board. Great experience, highly recommend.
One of the owners gave me a tour of the different parts of lakes with paddle and kayaking lessons ans it was completely worth the time and money this is the number one destination to do paddle boarding and kayaking adventures if you want to have a productive time in Florida!
We did the bioluminescence tour in Titusville. Everyone had fun, it was safe and the guides were very helpful. They helped with everything you needed, from dry bags to insect repellent. Would go back anytime.
Great kayak tour! Angie and Richard were super helpful and pointed out all animals sights. We had a blast.
Wow! Just wow! Jenny and Rich are the ABSOLUTE BEST! Words cant explain how great they are. My friend and I came from out of town to Glow in the Dark Kayak. Jenny’s hospitality was out of this world, we had some troubles getting home and she even checked to see if we got home safe. Shes more than just a great owner/instructor, shes a great person! PLEASE BOOK WITH THEM, you wont regret it! ♥️
Absolutely loved this tour!! The group was great & the ladies were amazing. Make conversations and made you feel as ease. Will definitely come back!!
Today was my first time paddle-boarding and it definitely won’t be my last. Our tour guide Jenny was wonderful and very knowledgeable about not only paddle boarding, but about the lake and area also.
This experience was phenomenal! Our guides Shannon and Jenny were amazing and the paddleboards were so fun to be on! We had a great time and it is so easy for beginners :)
Angie was great. We were beginners and she was patient, polite and responsive. Very nice lady and instructor / guide. We had a fun time. Will definitely go again.
Rich was a great guide. He was helpful and patient with me. Lots of fun. Thanks.
Highly recommend! This was a great highlight to our trip Tracy was so great helping us learn and even better company, our fur baby loved her just as much thank you for a awesome day can’t wait to do it again!
We had a great time learning to SUP. Great price and no pressure to get out and be back in 2 hours, as you have 4 hours to paddle around the three bodies of water. Just do it!
We did the puppy paddle on lake ivanhoe, myself, my 2 boys ages 8 and 11, and our dog We had an amazing time with our guide Rich! Will definitely be booking another tour soon!
Maria was our guide and yoga teacher for the yoga glow paddle. It was more than I expected! Not only was it peaceful and relaxing, but Maria made our practice meaningful. Id love to do this again!
I cant say enough good things about Epic Paddle Adventures. We were Stand-Up Paddle Board rookies, but now we are professionals. We booked a night tour on Lake Invanhoe. Our tour guide, the amazing Angie, made sure we were comfortable and safe before heading out on the water. The tour was so, so much fun. Weve lived in Orlando for nearly 10 years, and this was the first time we got to see Lake Invanhoe like this at night. There is nothing more calming than paddling out and laying on the board and watching the stars. Thank you so much Epic Paddle Adventures and Angie for the memorable night. We cant wait to bring our friends back!
Tour was awesome!! Really good workout on your arms lol and the lights were very pretty under the paddle boards. Had a great time, will come back to visit again one day!!!
Angie is a really fun tour guide. We did the night paddle on Lake Ivanhoe - love the lights on the bottom of the boards. We saw lots of fish!
This was the best part of my experience in Orlando! Jenny and Richard were very accommodating as my group got to our reservation late however they gave us the full service, did not rush us and were very welcoming. They were super friendly, polite and fun! My group and I had a great time and the skyline was beautiful, I would definitely come back!
Took our girls basketball team for a team bonding adventure. Everyone’s first time on the paddle board. No need to worry! It’s totally safe, smooth, and absolutely fun. Oh and Aaron and Richard were amazing tour guides. You should totally book a tour.
We saw this on Google and decided that we wanted to try something new while on out vacation. We arent the adventurous type but this made us feel like we could leave that behind and have tons of fun. Amazing hosts!
For our first time me and my friend were really nervous, but Angie and Cheyenne helped make it a really comfortable and fun experience for us. The sunset view was amazing and once the lights turned on it was just beautiful, especially against the city skyline.
Angie and Aaron were probably the best host you could ask for, I highly recommend it, it was the worth every dollar.
We had an awesome time! Everybody was super helpful, they helped me out with my mom and my kids we had a great time!! Would definately recommend it
Talk about a good time!! I just finished a beginner session with my family, which ranged from 9 years old to 72 years old! We all had a blast. The guides were patient, professional, and very attentive. They make it so anybody can learn to paddleboard. I highly recommend this group for your next adventure.
Excellent experience, friendly staff, and affordable! Definitely spreading the word about my experience! The bioluminescent tours are my favorite!
Very nice people and are very patient with you. Definitely a great experience to have fun and relax!
Great experience, was able to get my time changed the same day, they are very responsive and make sure you have a good time. Thank you guys ! Would definitely come back again !!
Kimberly and Shannon were GREAT! My girlfriend and I had a blast! It was our first time paddle boarding and it could not have been a better experience!
We had such a great time !!! Cheyenne, Angie and Patrick were amazing… we will definitely do this again !!!! Did this for my daughters 13th birthday and she had a great time ❤️❤️❤️
Great value, relaxing and so much fun!!!Jenny and Richard were fantastic!!! Jenny responded really quickly and met us there in just 30 min!!! She gave a great tutorial on how to use the boards and ensured we had evening we needed, from dry bags to water etc! Richard was a pleasure picking up the boards and kayaks and funny too!Great people, great service!
Great experience for my first time paddle boarding with 5 people on the mega paddle board
100% A MUST DO IF YOU ARE VISITING ORLANDO!!!! Even if you live in Orlando or near by, it was such an amazing experience! If you’re looking for something to do that’s not a theme park and relaxing but still fun, this is definitely the place to go. We did the night glow paddle boarding tour near Lake Ivanhoe and there isn’t a single thing I would change about it! Jenny and her partner were literally the sweetest people on the planet. As soon as we got there, they were so incredibly welcoming and genuinely happy we were there! I brought a purse and had no where safe to keep it while I was oit on the water, and both ladies were immediately so willing to let me keep it in their cars or office! The whole adventure was incredibly safe for anyone who might be concerned: the first 30 minutes were all instruction to help all of us get the hang of it, life jackets were provided and even mandatory to wear, and there was no point in time I felt unsafe or worried! The night glow tour specifically had LED lights under the paddle board tjat let you choose your own color and had amazing night time city views! The two ladies even took pictures of the whole group the whole time and provided us with a link to save them to our phones. They also didn’t mind us drifting from the group if we felt safe enough to do so! At the end of the tour, Jenny even offered to let me and my boyfriend have an extra hour on the water at no cost while they packed up! The trip to Orlando was a gift for my 21st birthday and as soon as the ladies heard about it, they immediately offered to give me a free company shirt! I could not recommend this place more, we had a blast! The company also does many other tours including a bioluminescence tour during the season!
Mr. Rich was a very enthusiastic tour guide! He was very helpful and informative.
Excellent guides! Fantastic time. Would definitely recommend.
Angie was super helpful with helping us find parking and setting up our package to do paddleboarding, gave us all the secret hidden spots to go. Overall amazing experience while visiting Orlando, highly recommended for anyone who wants to go paddle boarding
Absolutely loved this experience! They were so kind and helpful to someone who has never paddle boarded before. Definitely recommend paddle boarding with them!
Had a great time with Jennifer. The meditation was so nice and relaxing!!!
Such an amazing experience! Would definitely do tbis again when I’m in Orlando!
Loved it! Super-easy online reservation, SUP was ready when I arrived early. Although I have some experience, Jenny was patient and instructive getting me going. I paddle-boarded alone around the lake- took a little over an hour with no dilly-dallying. Great workout. If you’ve never paddle-boarded, this is a perfect place to do it! It’s easier than it looks. Oh, and the water is CRYSTAL clear!! Really beautiful. 5 stars!!
Had a blast with Angie and Kevin! Night time paddle boarding and swimming was the highlight of our vacation.
Had a great experience with Epic Paddle Adventure, the booking process was easy, The expedition took us to horseshoe crab island it was an easy paddle to shore, great family activity, our guide was great, highly recommended activity.
Awesome lake and great staff which made for a perfect day to spend with the family. One problem though a neighbor on the canal flipped me off just for waving and then after I said thats no way to make friends he proceeds to curse me about private property in front of my family. I tried to inform him about FL statues but they just miserable people. Recommend outing.
