Wevika River Kayak Trip
by Adventures in FloridaDiscover a natural paradise only moments from the heart of Orlando. This guided paddle down the Wekiva River will wind through black water swamps, pine flatwoods and other ecosystems unique to the Florida area. You’re likely to encounter plenty of gators on this trip (but don’t worry, you’re safe in your kayak) as well as many species of birds — and if you’re lucky, you may come across an elusive black bear. Take a break at a riverside stop to enjoy lunch as you take in your beautiful surroundings. See a side of Florida you can’t experience at a theme park. This trip departs Friday-Sunday at 9am. You will be shuttled from your end point back to the beginning of the paddle.

Moonlight Kayak Paddle (2 hrs.)
by Adventures in FloridaWatch the sun set as you paddle along the Winter Park Chain of Lakes. This scenic lake chain is a popular kayaking spot, and paddling by moonlight will give you a whole new perspective. Navigate the canals and interconnected lakes as the moon rises over your kayaking party. You’ll be treated to views of cypress trees, sub-tropical flowers, and perhaps even a glimpse of an alligator or great blue heron. Paddle past scenic Kraft Azalea Gardens, as well as some decadent private lakefront homes. Once you’ve finished, stop for a refreshing spread of cheese, crackers, fruits and veggies, and perhaps a glass of wine under the light of the moon. This trip runs every Friday an hour before sunset.

Orland ranks close to the top of the list of cities that have the most places to visit. From Orlando you can go in any direction to find an attraction that suits you. To the east is the Kennedy Space Center, to the south is the Florida Everglades, to the west is Tampa, and to the north are the underground springs and caves. There are also many one-of-kind attractions within just a few miles of the city center, and while the choice is wide and varied each is tailored to make the experience memorable. If you choose to swim with the manatees in Homosassa State Park, or zip through the air at 20 mph on a zip-line over the Everglades at St. Cloud, one thing you can be assured of is that when you return home with your pictures you’ll be the envy of all your friends.
