Sunset Clear Kayak or Paddleboard in Orlando





Description
Lake Ivanhoe offers one of the most unique paddling environments in Orlando. Unlike many Florida waterways, this lake system has no current, no boat traffic, and no alligators — creating a calm and comfortable setting ideal for beginners, families, and first-time paddlers. The front lake features stunning skyline views of downtown Orlando, especially during golden hour when the city reflects across the water. As you continue into the back lake, the scenery shifts to a more peaceful residential landscape with beautiful waterfront homes and a quieter, tucked-away feel. This combination of urban views and tranquil waters makes Lake Ivanhoe a favorite among Orlando locals. It offers the rare chance to experience both the energy of the city and the calm of nature — all within minutes of downtown.

Rich was a fun and informative guide, who took extra time to make sure everyone knew what to do once we got in the kayak. He spent time chatting with each person in our group and telling us about cool spots to check out in the city. We all had a great time kayaking and the views were spectacular! Rich added to this experience by curating an amazing tour of Lake Ivanhoe.
Nice evening on the water. We enjoyed the lighted boats. The kayaks were clean and our guide was kind and patient.
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
Riche is the best coach ever, he is the best. So he make me comfortable and it was my first time but all the time I didn’t feel like it’s my first time
We are so happy to hear you had a great experience with Rich on your adventure! Thank you for the EPIC feedback!
If you’re looking for a unique outdoor experience I highly recommend doing this. What to expect: We booked the Nighttime Paddle experience at 7:30, checked in at 7pm, they did the safety and what to expect briefing, We paddled out shortly after 8pm. We followed the guide Bryce and Savannah, after about 30mins we stopped and they took complimentary photos of everyone, I loved that there was no charge for the pictures, most of these adventures they charge for them. We paddled around on our own for most of the time, so don’t worry about having to stay all together, they just don’t want you to wonder off too far. At about 9:15 we started heading back. What I would suggest if you’re going for the first time: Dress based on the weather not the fact that it’s a water sport, I barely got wet, just drips from the paddle. it was a little chilly so I wish I wore a sweater or something a little warmer. Use the restroom just before leaving the dock. Bring snacks and soft drinks if you’d like, a couple had wine that was a good idea:) They’ll provide a waterproof bag for your belongings. If you’re together, it’s best to go in a tandem rather than each going individually. Bring cash for tip at the end. Suggestions for Business operators: Bryce and Savannah were great!!! Keep them:) The battery packs kept dying, maybe upgrade those, it was annoying having to keep asking to get mine changed out, half of the experience I had no lights. Overall great experience and I would do it again.
We appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve. We think Bryce and Savannah are great as well!
Fantastic guide, great equipment, very professional operation. I am on my own standup board at home frequently…when I travel, I’m used to sub-bar rental boards…not the case here! 5 star experience in the heart of Orlando.
THank you so much for this EPIC review! JW
Had a great time kayaking. Bryce was a great tour guide. Would do it again next time we go on vacation in Orlando. Clear kayaks are fantastic to see what’s underneath you. Saw quite a bit of fish which the little kids loved
Thank you so much for this EPIC review. So much appreciated! JW
Beautiful, relaxing, our guide was friendly, flexible, and super nice. The surrounding was peaceful and serene. Definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. We will definitely share with our EPIC Guides!
The views were amazing and being out on the water was an overall great experience. It was the first time for my family and I and we were a little nervous at first but instantly felt comfortable thanks to Mike and Sunny. Mike and Sunny were both great with instructions and tips while guiding us in the water. They were very pleasant in general which made the activity even better. Thank you both so much for such a great experience, we will definitely be returning!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. We are so happy you had a good time. You are EPIC!!
The water was murky which made me nervous because of concern of alligators, though I was assured there was none. The tour guides Mike and Savannah were great. They explained why the water was safe, explained a path to take to get to clear water, offered to attach my kayak to their paddle board for comfort, and accompanied me back to the dock when my anxiety got the best of me.
We are sorry you got scared but we know with 100% certainty there are no alligators on our lake. I hope you'll come back and try it again. We'll comp your tour!
They were not true kayaks! They were clear plastic bath tubs. Did an evening cruise, nothing to see. The description of tour misleading.
