Sunset Clear Kayak or Paddleboard in Orlando
Overview
Lake Ivanhoe offers one of the most unique paddling environments in Orlando. Unlike many Florida waterways, this lake system has no current, no boat traffic, and no alligators — creating a calm and comfortable setting ideal for beginners, families, and first-time paddlers.
The front lake features stunning skyline views of downtown Orlando, especially during golden hour when the city reflects across the water. As you continue into the back lake, the scenery shifts to a more peaceful residential landscape with beautiful waterfront homes and a quieter, tucked-away feel.
This combination of urban views and tranquil waters makes Lake Ivanhoe a favorite among Orlando locals. It offers the rare chance to experience both the energy of the city and the calm of nature — all within minutes of downtown.

What To Expect
Unwind on a serene Sunset Paddle in Paradise on Lake Ivanhoe in Orlando, Florida, just minutes from downtown. Launch during golden hour and glide across calm, spring-fed waters as the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and blue reflected across the lake’s surface.
We are the only company on Lake Ivanhoe offering your choice of vessel: clear single kayak, clear tandem kayak, clear paddleboard, or traditional paddleboard — allowing you to customize your experience. Transparent options provide a unique view of the water below while you enjoy skyline views above.
This guided paddle is beginner-friendly, family-friendly, and even dog-friendly. With no current, no boat traffic, and no alligators in this lake, guests can fully relax and paddle at a comfortable pace.
Watch for birds and fish as city lights begin to glow and the lake settles into evening calm. After your tour, enjoy nearby restaurants and bars within walking distance for the perfect Orlando night out.
Whether you’re planning a date night, family outing, or peaceful solo escape, this sunset experience offers a refreshing way to connect with nature in the heart of the City Beautiful.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach.
