Top Day Trips from Orlando (Updated September 2026)

The experience was amazing. We had a great time and learned a lot along the way. The admission fee was affordable. The length of the visit was great. We had so much fun it went by so fast. The atmosphere was wonderful. Captain was a very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back again.

This was such a fun experience! We saw three alligators, lots of beautiful birds and more. We did get caught in a rainstorm but our guide quickly got us to a shelter and it made the adventure all the more memorable. We’d do this again, for sure!

A great fun AND educational experience. The horses are beyond beautiful and the history of the breed is fascinating. There is some walking but it’s easy and the grounds are lovely. The best part is that your participation helps ensure the future of this kind and beautiful breed of horse.

We went at 10:30am with Andrew as a guide and had a great time. He knew about the area and all the different animals and birds we encountered. It was relaxing, not too hot, and overall a wonderful learning experience. We saw lots of birds including 3 American Bald Eagles and a momma alligator and her babies. Totally worth the price. The gift shop was awesome aswell! Make sure to stop by!

This was a very awesome experience 💯 be back

Gaining knowledge on mixing different rums to make the perfect drink was a game changer. I will make my own when having guests.

Great experience! Knowledgeable guide, Captain Shane. Never been on airboat before so it was interesting and fun. We went on the hour tour. Fee was reasonable and in line with other operators. Enjoyed it so much will plan for 90 minute tour next time. I chose this company because I liked the small size of boats, 6 passengers but only had 4 on this tour. And the website mentioned that the headsets had mic so could ask questions during the tour. There is a small basket under the seat if you bring a bag with you. Left dock promptly. We saw a lot of birds. 2 alligators, one protecting her nest that hadn't hatched and one watching over her babies. We saw a couple of deer wading on the edge of lake. Lots of birds and pretty flowers. FYI. Parking is at a city park, with restrooms. There is only one small sign for the tour company and no check-in office. Just check-in on the dock with the captain. There is a small gift shop but it is for another company and no one was there to operate it when we were there We were on the 1230 tour so day was warming up. Might see more wildlife if earlier in day.

I’ve kayaked at Silver Springs before and had never had such an amazing experience. Our guide, Brad, truly was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. He shared so much knowledge about the wildlife, the Spring’s history and even conservation efforts. We saw manatees, alligators, birds, monkeys and turtles. By far the best tour in Ocala is with Sassy and Brad!

Ben was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and history. He made our adventure great! We went off season but still saw manatees, monkeys, gators and more. Definitely recommend Epic Adventures!!

Very cool experience. Saw numerous animals. Took many great pictures. Picked up some great mementos at the gift store.

I had a peaceful ride and enjoyed the wildlife thank . The kayak was in excellent shape and the boat ramp is super easy to get in and out of.

Had a fabulous air boat trip with captain Ryan who was very knowledgeable and informative. We learnt about the lake history and wildlife in the area and saw many species of bird aswell as a couple of alligators and even some cows grazing. All in all a five star experience that I would recommend to anyone.

We had a great time. Show was great. Actors were great and made us laugh and food was excellent. It was a great experience .

Had a really fun time and learned a lot. Great for complete noobs to firearms.

Special event lot of fun. But still very busy. Wait times are much shorter but some rides still have significant wait times.

It’s entertaining. It’s a dramedy. Very interactive. Great date night or group outing. Dinner was excellent (Herb Chicken).
