Itinerary
Unwind on a serene Sunset Paddle in Paradise on Lake Ivanhoe in Orlando, Florida, just minutes from downtown. Launch during golden hour and glide across calm, spring-fed waters as the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and blue reflected across the lake’s surface. We are the only company on Lake Ivanhoe offering your choice of vessel: clear single kayak, clear tandem kayak, clear paddleboard, or traditional paddleboard — allowing you to customize your experience. Transparent options provide a unique view of the water below while you enjoy skyline views above. This guided paddle is beginner-friendly, family-friendly, and even dog-friendly. With no current, no boat traffic, and no alligators in this lake, guests can fully relax and paddle at a comfortable pace. Watch for birds and fish as city lights begin to glow and the lake settles into evening calm. After your tour, enjoy nearby restaurants and bars within walking distance for the perfect Orlando night out. Whether you’re planning a date night, family outing, or peaceful solo escape, this sunset experience offers a refreshing way to connect with nature in the heart of the City Beautiful.

Rick/rich was a great guide, had a lot of laughs. Answered all our questions and was super knowledgeable
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Beautiful, relaxing, our guide was friendly, flexible, and super nice. The surrounding was peaceful and serene. Definitely recommend!
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!
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.
They were not true kayaks! They were clear plastic bath tubs. Did an evening cruise, nothing to see. The description of tour misleading.
Kayak was good comfortable..we are doing it for first time and guides - Rick & Sunny help alot they are very friendly and Helpful It was bedt experience..
The Lady is very nice and professional, she knows a lot of interesting things and beautiful views about Orlando, Florida
The entire team at Epic Paddle are top notch. Very professional and very friendly. I highly recommend them for your adventures. Guides Walter and Pamela were both awesome. High energy, very friendly and professional. My family absolutely enjoyed them both. We booked the sunset tour for six. Two in my party changed from Kayaks to paddle boards at the last minute. Without hesitation the team accommodated the late changes. Guide Walter quickly adjusted and trained them both on the paddle boards. He was very thorough. Enough that they were both very comfortable on the paddle boards. Our tour started off great. Everyone felt safe, even my teenage son and nephew. They were both nervous because it was their first time kayaking without an adult. About 15-20 minutes into our tour Mother Nature decided she wanted to drop a unschedule severe thunderstorm on Lake Ivanhoe. It was bad. Walter and Pamela quickly shifted gears. Out tour went from having fun to getting everyone to a safe place. Walter and Pamela quickly routed the tour under a bridge. Both monitored the weather looking for an opportunity to get everyone back to docks safely. At the dock Walter and Pamela worked in overdrive to get everyone out safely. Once again I brag enough how professional and friendly both Walter and Pamela are. Their priorities quickly shifted from having a great to time to making our safety their top priority. The tour didn’t go as planned due to Mother Nature but Epic Paddle made sure we were taken care. Without hesitation they immediately offered a full refund. True Professional. My family was upset about Mother Nature cutting our tour but we quickly decided we were coming back and we were requesting both Pamela and Walter.
The best part of the trip was going kayaking in the evening. It’s nice and cool out with a slight breeze, which makes it beautiful and serene. It was a fabulous and fantastic tour.
Best part of my Orlando trip! It is surprisingly serene and there is lots of great wildlife to see. The tour guides Jim and Shannon are great people.
Had an amazing time doing the paddle boarding first time with Epic Adventures. I called them directly & spoke to Jenny first & then called to book & spoke to Rich. I was a bit concerned as i am not a strong swimmer but they convinced me & i decided to do paddle board. Arrive about 15-20 min prior to the booked slot . The instructors spoke about the dos && don't & we started with our Sun set & night tour. Few things that i didn't know was you are close to freeway & go below the freeway, so there is a continuous traffic noise. You do get used to the noise, but it wasn't peaceful as i had expected. Otherwise the instructors were great & answered the questions & guided us appropriately. I would skip the neon light one next time & just go simple board. Also the pictures were great, would have appreciated a few more. Thank you so much Epic Adventures , I had a great time!
It was a beautiful sunset. Coach was very personable and attentive to all of us. He made sure everyone was comfortable.
1) The staff and customers were nice. 2) The booking didn’t go as planned. I purposely booked the kayaking tour over paddle board for many reasons. Unfortunately the booking, on the business end, reported paddle boarding. Thus, after giving an option to sit on the paddle board or go tandem with a crew member, I decided not to go on the tour. 3) I recommend that Trip Advisor and the business work together to cross check the bookings or to allow an opportunity for the customer to confirm. 4) Without understanding my reasoning for kayaking, another crew member (not part of the group I was with) came by and repeated that he had a 70-year old lady on the paddle board and it was fine. With no respect to differences and being judged on age rather than understanding health reasons why I chose one over the other - I was left dumbfounded and disappointed. Crew members should never assume anything about their customers. Customers know themselves and the reasons why they can or cannot or will or will not do certain activities.
I had a good experience doing the sunset kayaking. Tour guide was very nice and helpful. I only wish he had taken more pictures of us rather than the wildlife and buildings.
This is a fun and leisurely activity. We did the sunset kayak and it was a peaceful and enjoyable experience. We really enjoyed the staff, Bob and Rich. They were very friendly and shared a lot of interesting facts about the area. One suggestion, if you do the tour at night; plan to take your own pictures! The pictures the staff took were super grainy due to the lack of light / older iPhone. But not a big deal. 😃
Our tour guide was great! Sunset and city lights at night were beautiful! Very relaxing! I highly recommend 👍
So close to natural bird activity! Friendly, relaxed and capable guide. Got me excited for other kayaking trips in the area.
Very nice guides and peaceful, gentle tour. Great for first time kayak and paddlers. Lake is calm and no waves the night we went.
Amazing . Lifetime memory Enjoyed every bit of it. Must do it if you’re in town . You won’t regret it.
We live in Colorado but visit our daughter and son-in-law who live in Central Florida. While visiting, we’ve been on many Epic Paddle Adventures and as always, the Sunset Paddle in Orlando Tour did not disappoint! It’s so enjoyable, that we try to go every time we visit, and have been on the sunset tour a few times! Lake Ivanhoe sunsets truly are spectacular! Most recently, while visiting, my husband and I along with our daughter and son-law attended the very special Valentine’s Day Sunset Paddle. It was one of the best and most memorable paddle tours to date. Thank you Epic Paddle Adventures for such a special evening on the water with family…and as always, the sunset was absolutely stunning! For those visiting Orlando, this tour is a must. Prepare for a truly “epic paddle adventure” and special memories of your Orlando vacation to take home from this tour!
Patrick and Angie made our trip fantastic! We did the valentine's day SUP and loved every minute of it!
Staff was so helpful (messed up my first booking attempt). The actual experience was lovely; awesome guide and beautiful lake!
Weather was perfect; our guide Angie did a great job taking pictures and telling us local information. Highly recommend this trip; not tooo long and just the right amount of time.
Beautiful, easy kayak trip. Ask for Angie- she’s like a photographer disguised as a tour guide. She got some frame-worthy shots! Cool houses to see on the hidden lake. We went with my very athletic 16 year old son and active grandparents/ ages 73-76. We got done in an hour- you could go slower if you wanted. Bring a toast for sunset- 16 year old brought a charcuterie bowl too. Local Greek restaurant steps away was a fun end to evening!
