Scary for someone that doesn’t swim, BUT, our tour guide made things so much more comfortable. Plus the views were worth it!

Kayak or Paddleboard Tour on Lake Ivanhoe. Launch from the Lake Ivanhoe boat ramp just minutes from downtown and glide across calm, spring-fed waters illuminated by vibrant LED under-glow lighting beneath your vessel. As you move across the lake, the glowing water below contrasts beautifully with the reflections of Orlando’s skyline above. The combination of clear kayaks or paddleboards and colorful lighting creates a striking nighttime atmosphere that’s both scenic and fun. Choose from clear single kayaks, clear tandem kayaks, paddleboards, or traditional kayaks to customize your experience. This guided tour follows a relaxed route designed for comfort and stability, making it perfect for beginners. No current, no boat traffic, and no alligators create a comfortable environment for paddlers of all levels. Your experience includes a safety lesson, life vest, paddle, dry bag, bottled water, and complimentary photos to capture the glow. Whether you're visiting Orlando or looking for a unique night out, this after-dark paddle blends city energy with laid-back waterfront vibes.

Mike was awesome! Had a great time!
We had a blast! Mike was the best tour guide you could ask for!
This was an easy adventure to enjoy. Our tour guide was Mike. He was helpful, funny, and comfortable to be with.
Excellent tour. Loved learning about the springs, the on going clean up efforts, the eel grass, and more. Mike was an awesome guide and very funny - love the bat jokes!!
The night tour with the LED lights was awesome!!! Rich was an amazing guide!!
Rich had a lot knowledge of the surrounding and was very helpful Me and my girlfriend had never done it before It was very fun and a little workout too
We had an amazing trip with Rich! Good fun for all levels of experience. We did the 8pm tour, and loved it Rich was knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. We loved the LED lights on the kayaks, and being out on the water at night. Great outfit and great tour!
We had an absolutely incredible time on our LED kayaking tour on Lake Ivanhoe in Orlando! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The glowing kayaks made the whole adventure feel magical — paddling across the water at night with the vibrant lights reflecting all around us was such a unique and beautiful experience. Our tour guide, Mike, truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. Mike gave clear instructions, kept the group engaged, and shared fun facts along the way that made the tour even more enjoyable. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was obvious he genuinely loves what he does. Whether you’re visiting Orlando or local to the area, this is a must-do experience. It was the perfect mix of relaxing, fun, and memorable. Huge thanks to Mike for making our night so special — we can’t recommend this LED kayaking tour enough! 10/10!
Really fun experience!! We took several high schoolers and they were able to get great pictures. Paddling at night was great.
MIKE WAS AWESOME! OMG he had us laughing with his jokes the whole time. He is super knowledgeable about the area and really easy going. He takes GREAT PICTURES!!! The sunset time slot is AMAZING!!!! Would definitily recommend and do it again when I come back.
This was am amazing experience! We got to see different species of birds, turtles, fish that came up to our led Kayaks, and even a friendly otter! Highly recommended for a beginner friendly fun springfed lake system!
Trying to investigate an upcoming trip in 2027 with this company. Used their published email and sent questions by email on March 31. It's April 2 and I have had no response.
It was a very cool experience We loved being on the water at night but the group was to large for one leader and besides the Kayakers there were two people on Paddleboards one of them had never Paddleboarded before so the leader had to keep going back to check on them which slowed the group down significantly Also it was hard to hear the leader. It would’ve been better if he had a microphone. But still did enjoy the experience
We had an awesome experience. It exceeded our expectations. Our guide did a great job communicating what to expect and was very informative of the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family.
Mike was laid back and so friendly!!! Enjoyed the history lesson about the area and enjoyed the sunset and peace of the water!!! Water was beautiful and clean. Wished the lights on the boat were brighter and the daughter thought the life jackets needed a good rinse. Otherwise, it was worth it!!
Wow! What can I say. Mr. Mike was a phenomenal guide and an even better conversationalist. He made this experience worth it with an arsenal of “bad jokes”. Time flew as we took in the scenery while indulging in edifying information. This was an amazing experience.
Super awesome tour guide really nice and funny and gave us a whole history lesson of the lake we kayaked
Five out of five guide riche was great we saw some fishes riche told us a lot about the things we where seeing around great tour great guide
This was my first time it was very fun and had beautiful scenery I even seen a few big fish. Also prepare to get wet !
Friendly, knowledgeable guide! Had a great time, and the company was very accommodating with the crazy weather!
Amazing experience! Rich an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Made us comfortable the whole time.. Highly recommend!
Mike was awesome. It was lots of fun. We kayaked around the lake in LED glow in the dark kayaks. Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing time. Everything started on time and the guide was awesome. Next time in Florida, this will be our go to place for fun.
So fun! Tour was great, learned a lot! We went for my sisters birthday day and have a great time! Mike was our guide and he was amazing!
I had great time and our guide was amazing definitely kept us entertained and taught us how to paddle
Great experience!! Guides very patient and knowledgeable. They gave us some history of the area as well. Sooo peaceful on the water.
An amazing view with clear water and clear kayaks! An amazing experience for me and my girlfriend on our vacation. Must go to spot!
This was super fun. Mike was very nice & patient. Perfect time & length of time for the experience. I would definitely recommend!
Our guide Mike was a great guy . His jokes and training make it so cool. Hr is very funny. We thought it’s going to be hard but he made it so simple .
Guide was amazing. Not exactly what I thought it was when I booked, it’s a lake. But I’m almost 100% sure that was my fault, I’m from out of town and used to rivers in my state, so I think I had some assumptions. But even though it wasn’t 100% what I thought it was, guide was great, my employees had a ton of fun. At the end of the day, that was my goal, zero complaints from me. Super nice guide, felt bad I was the only one who tipped the guide
Such a fun way to spend an evening in Orlando ! Rich was our guide for the evening. We had a pretty large group and he was so upbeat and friendly. Beautiful area to kayak and really enjoyed seeing the sunset as we paddled along. Lots of beginners in our group who all did well.
It was very good. We will do it again. This was my very first time kayaking, and I enjoyed it. Good weather in our tour guide was excellent.
Thank you Mikey! We enjoyed our last day in Sarasota watching the sunset on the water followed by the city light views!
Savana was amazing! She took her time explaining everything and excellent teacher! We had an amazing time. Will definitely book again.
Bill was great took us around the whole lake went above and beyond very experienced most definitely got our dollars worth next time I’m bringing a fishing pole!!
The kayaks need better back support or foot stops for leverage. I’m short and it was difficult to paddle - but a beautiful night for kayaking!
Bryce was a great host and tour lead, super knowledgeable not just with kit and logistics, but with environmental and historical facts too. He's also pretty funny 😁 . Highly recommended!
Our tour guide Savanna was great! Lake Ivanhoe was calm and relaxing. The clear kayak was easy to navigate. Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend!
Had so much fun!!! 10 outta 10 would recommend. Had fun cruising the water on a warm evening in Orlando.
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.
It was absolutely a beautiful experience because of the nature, we got to watch the sunset. The people were very friendly and out tour guide Bob had good stories to share. My only disappointment is that I was expecting the LED lights to penetrant the water better to give a better view into it. The LED lights were loosely placed in the kayak, because they were not inside the water directly they did not illuminate it much.
Spectacular. We saw the sunset and the guide that the very interesting walk. Great moments. The family enjoyed
Mike was our guide and was fantastic! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do in central Orlando
Mike was the best wouldn’t have wanted any of person to be our guide!!! Definitely would rate 10/10. The best part of our trip so far!!
The guides were amazing! Kept everyone together and made sure everyone was having the best experience, even changing batteries for the lights during the tour. They were super nice and took photos so we could sit back and enjoy ourselves. It was a great workout with a great view and I would highly recommend it!
The see-through vessel And we really enjoyed the lights Both of our tour guide were really amazing very knowledgeable
The tour was good, although we had to go viral because of the wind and when I arrived my shoes had been stolen.
The lake is very clean and a great guide. Nice relaxing kayaking experience. You will have good time.
AMAZING! We had the best time. Just myself and my 16 year old son. It was a beautiful night and a great experience. Our guide was the best and made the experience one of a kind.
