Had a great experience with guide TJ today. Very pleasant and patient. We did the manatee and dolphin paddle. Didn’t see any manatee today but TJ stuck with it and we were able to see a dolphin

The clear boat kayaking was beautiful, very peaceful. You cant really see anything through the kayak so having a clear one makes little difference I found. It was better to just look into the water. The instructor was good. He tried to give facts about things, but quite often you couldn't hear him so I stopped trying to listen and just continued to take in the sights. The photos he took and uploaded were not great either. Other uploads from other instructors had between 50 to 70 photos uploaded, but ours there was only 6 photos uploaded and they are blurry and low quality too. So I advise to take a disposable camera or something if you are worried you might ruin your phone like I was. Dont rely on the instructors photos.Everyone at the park was suspicious of me too when I arrived early and was waiting. I didn't get the sense I was welcome. It could have been because I was by myself too which is why I was targeted. Apparently they have had issues of tourists paying for sessions online but the companies were fake. They tried convincing me mine was fake and even got a park ranger to talk to me and take a photo of my confirmation email. It was cool to meet the ranger! But at the same time it left a sour note on my day and I kept telling them I'm early and the instructor hasn't arrived yet. So if this happens to you id say stick to ur guns, be understanding of the situation of course and remain calm and polite. Getting angry and frustrated never helps any situation. Wait for your meeting time and be sure you are standing in the correct area. Epic Paddle adventures is a LEGIT company. So take some comfort in knowing that this group is not one of the fake ones.

Got super lucky and won a paddle board on their giveaway a few years ago! Loved learning how to use my board thanks to their great staff!

We had so much fun on our paddle board adventure! TJ and Dee were our guides, and they were the best!! We are novist and also had a 5yo, and TJ was so good with teaching him and including him in. We didn't get to see dolphins on our paddle board experience, but TJ recommended we go down the Merritt refuge, and sure enough! We spotted 2 dophins there! It was amazing! We had a blast.

The state park is beautiful with lots of wild life. Kayaking on a clear kata was amazing. Guy our tour guide was knowledgeable and took us at a good pace. We unfortunately did not see any manatees which is why we wanted to do this tour but it was worth it. Thank you

We had an amazing kayaking adventure with our guide Lindsey today! She let us float around at our own pace & we never felt rushed. The water is so clear & we saw manatee, monkeys, alligators, turtles, fish & many bird species. It was an epic day!!

Had a great tour with TJ at Silver Springs! He was very knowledgable and made sure we were all able to get a clear view of the manatees and other wildlife. He also kept checking in with us to make sure no one was struggling too much as beginner kayakers.

TJ was a great tour guide, very informative and funny. However his dog was the real star of the show! We will definitely be coming back in the summer for the bioluminescent tour.
