Central Florida and the surrounding areas are full of outdoor recreational offerings that will make any nature lover swoon. Epic Paddle Adventures, out of Orlando, Florida, offers paddle board and kayak tours all over the area that take adventures onto some of the most beautiful waterways in Florida.

Although we’ve never been on paddle boards before, we hopped right into the adventure and prepared ourselves for some fun in the Florida sun. Epic Paddle Adventures has a whole range of different tours to check out all over Central Florida. We loved the guides we had for the two tours we experienced.
