What are people saying about Orlando

David_M, Jul 2026

Awesomeness in Reality

We were taken on a tour of the Everglades by Captain Camden. He was very friendly and professional. He knew his way around took time to explain the life cycle, environmental effects of invasive species and what’s being done to minimize the impact. We were able to see the nesting grounds of alligators and other bird residents to the areas. Overall a worthwhile tour. David.

Time flies fast

It was a lovely experience. Our pick up was on-time our guide assistant/driver Kevin was very knowledgeable. The van was comfortable even during an excess heat warning. We loved exploring on our own based on Kevin’s excellent recommendations. The time just went by so fast.

Silver Springs Jungle Kayaking and Paddleboarding

Corey_B, Jun 2026

Great experience that far exceeded our expectations!

The online pictures don’t do this place justice. I did not think the water would be as clear as portrayed but it was. Our tour guide, Kennedy, was knowledgeable and friendly. She took lots of extra time with us and made us feel like we were important. I highly recommend visiting Silver Springs for a kayak trip!!!

Clear Kayak or Paddleboard Manatee Adventure

Qian_H, Jun 2026

The Clear Kayak or...

The Clear Kayak or Paddleboard Manatee Adventure was well organized from start to finish, and the experience was both relaxing and exciting. The clear kayaks gave us a unique perspective of the water, making it even more enjoyable to observe the wildlife and beautiful surroundings. Our tour guide, Ben, was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their kayaking experience. Throughout the tour, Ben shared interesting facts about manatees, the local ecosystem, and conservation efforts, making the experience both fun and educational. He was also patient and made sure everyone in the group stayed together while giving us plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Seeing wildlife such as a manatee, gators, monkeys, and various birds in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience, and Ben's enthusiasm made it even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It's a wonderful way to experience Florida's natural beauty while learning about its incredible wildlife.

Horseback Ride on Scenic Lake Louisa Trails

Jeannie_W, Jun 2026

Everything I hoped for!

Amazing experience! We've been talking about going riding for years. I decided to surprise my husband while on vacation. Joel and Hillary were wonderful hosts, instructors and guides. The ride was beautiful. We saw more butterflies (a passion of mine) than I've ever seen in one place. Not only did they meet us where we were with experience and make sure everyone was comfortable but they taught us so much about the park and it's floura and fauna. We enjoyed every minute. If you want a great experience be it your first or 100th time, we highly recommend Lake Louisa!

Enjoying Nature

The water was so crystal clear. We seen a lot of fish and turtles, even a huge soft shell . It was really cool. The alligators were out as well but didn't seem to care we were there as you keep your distance. Our tour guide Steve was the best of the best. Really informative and even took pictures of all of us as we paddled through the river. Such a great day had by all

The Escape Game Orlando: Epic 60-Minute Adventures on I-Drive

Gary_M, Apr 2026

Didn't know what to expect. But glad we try it.

It was a great experience. Me and my wife played the Heist room and we enjoyed it. It was both our first time trying the escape room and we were just killing time before we had to catch our flight back home so we didn't know what to expect. But it was a great experience and we will definitely try the escape room again when we come back to Florida.

Clear Canoeing and Wildlife Sightseeing at Silver Springs

Kelci_L, Apr 2026

Kayaking on Silver...

Kayaking on Silver Springs was such a fun and relaxing experience. We were able to go at our own pace, and it did not require a lot of physical effort to kayak on the river. While we were disappointed that we could not see manatees (they have already migrated out of this area for the year), we did see a lot of other wildlife (otter, monkey, alligators, lots of birds and turtles). The water was so clear and the trees were so beautiful with Spanish moss. I am a travel advisor and was happy to participate in this excursion, not only to enjoy it for myself and my family, but to also be able to recommend it to clients. We will definitely be back sometime when the manatees will be there! The tour group we used were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Florida Bioluminescent Kayak & Paddle Board Adventure

Angela_S, Apr 2026

Fun and easy for beginners!

We had a great experience with A Paddle in Paradise, which we booked through Viator. Jess was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and exciting even though we did not get to see any of the comb jellies or the bioluminescent plankton. The kayaks were very comfortable and were even equipped with lights along the underside to help see in the later. My kids ages 13-18 also enjoyed the tour. Very doable for beginners!
