    We were technically out of manatee season, so we didn't have high expectations, but this group...wow, they went above and beyond! They took us out further than they usually take groups after receiving a tip that a couple of manatees were there. They spent an extra hour (or more!) for us to continue kayaking to be able to see the manatees (along with countless alligators and turtles and birds on the way). The guides could have easily turned around and simply gone back home, with an easy afternoon, but they kept going..for us!! I was impressed and thankful. We saw FOUR manatees, towards the end of April! It was definitely the highlight of our Florida trip, and a memory we will never forget. Thank you Epic and especially thank you to Bob and Roger, you guys were absolutely amazing!!

    We were celebrating a 40th birthday with another couple and Sarah was great! She was patient with the few beginners but also kept it fun for those who have been kayaking before. We saw some wildlife and were able to do a little walking up a creek.

    We had a beautiful trip through the springs on a 9am tour (definitely recommend the first tour to beat the crowds, especially on a weekend). Our guide, Aly, did a wonderful job, giving clear instructions, setting an easy pace, and pointing out lots of wildlife, all in a friendly, professional manner. We saw wood ducks, anhinga, cormorants, pileated woodpeckers, alligators, garfish, water snakes, turtles, and manatees! She also explained some of the natural history of the spring and pointed out structures on the banks that were historical replicas or used in old films. A great tour all around - highly recommended!!

    Silver Springs is a jewel, this tour showed the beauty perfectly. The time paddling was well spent. We had time to take photos of the flora and fauna, and learned secrets of the springs. Our guides were amazing, they knew so much and shared with us their love of the whole area.

    I started off padding away from the group when Kristin came to my help, towed me for a bit and teaching me what I needed to do.. She was a great teacher I did get stuck a few more times, she was great there for me.. Sunny bonding with my son cause he's fast there his momma and kept up with Sunny.
    Both were Sensational! Highly recommended Epic padding.

    Aaron is very knowledgeable, skilled, and personable! We had an amazing time paddling with him to the nooks and crannies to see the manatees, turtles, gators, and other items of interest along the river at Silver Springs. Aaron was so patient and helpful, even to paddlers not in our group, to make sure everyone was safe and having a good time on the water! The group photos were an added bonus as Aaron often got closer to the object than I could or sometimes wanted to (read: gators!) and his camera and lenses captured much more than my phone ever could. Highly recommend taking this tour!

    This was a highlight of my trip to Orlando. Good equipment and a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Only a few miles out of downtown Orlando you are immediately totally immersed into a tranquil environment of clear water, towering trees, fish and wildlife (even saw a couple of alligators) . It is an easy paddle suitable for even the most novice paddler. Two hours of peace and being at one with nature in a most beautiful environment.

    Keith was an amazing guide! He was patient and knowledgeable. The clear kayaks are cool but really not necessary because you can't see through the water at all. The canals were just like the pictures!!! It was gorgeous! Definitely an amazing date idea ❤️

    Josh was great! He left us know when and where to meet him before the event and the tour itself was so fun! He was very thorough with the history of the river/spring. We crashed a couple times(lol) but Josh never mined to get us right back in track. He even offered to take pictures :) Great experience
