Details

Situated along Florida’s Space Coast, Titusville offers more than just rocket launches and beach days. It’s also home to Epic Paddle Adventures, a standout outfitter specializing in clear kayak and paddleboard tours that reveal a vivid underwater world. Whether gliding on the glassy waters of the Indian River Lagoon or paddling through Silver Springs’ crystal-clear springs, each adventure provides a front-row seat to local wildlife and ecosystems.

Epic Paddle Adventures capitalizes on the region’s unique features—warm subtropical waters, native manatees, playful dolphins, and the occasional alligator. Their clear kayaks and paddleboards let paddlers peer directly into these waters, making encounters with silverfish and seagrass beds as immediate as the breeze on your face. The bioluminescence tours, offered during select nights, turn the water into a glowing canvas where comb jellies and other shimmering creatures paint the currents.

More than a rental company, Epic Paddle Adventures curates themed experiences—from daytime manatee and monkey spotting in Silver Springs to urban glow tours beneath city lights, where LED-equipped vessels light up the night. Date night options with champagne and neon glow gear add a playful twist to classic Florida paddling. Their gator tours stand out for those intrigued by the local reptiles often glimpsed along the banks.

Titusville’s combination of accessible waterways, abundant wildlife, and the versatility of clear vessels positions Epic Paddle Adventures as a premier gateway to outdoor water experiences on Florida’s eastern coast. These tours work great for both locals looking for new ways onto the water, and visitors seeking a hands-on encounter with Florida’s natural world without needing previous paddling experience.
