Outdoors & Nature

Come face to face with fascinating wildlife, from alligators to zebras.

See animals up close with a range of experiences. Spy gators sunbathing at an eco attraction, admire tigers and lions at an animal sanctuary, go horseback riding on pristine trails, feed giraffes, or do a drive-through safari to see exotic animals and native Florida wildlife from the comfort of your car.

On this wild ride, glide across lakes and wetlands to see animals and birds in their native habitat.

If zooming across the water, enjoying scenic views, and spotting wildlife sound like a thrilling combo, you’ll want to add airboating to your Florida adventure. Take a tour to venture deep into the headwaters of the Everglades through swamps, marshes, rivers, and lakes and learn fun facts along the way.

Choose your own adventure on the water, from paddling excursions to sunset cruises.

For a peaceful paddle, take a kayaking or canoeing tour through a cypress forest on Shingle Creek. For a higher speed ride, take a sunset boat ride with Toho Riverboat Adventures or captain a 2-seater speed-catboat on scenic rivers and lakes.

Cast a line and catch everything from bluegill to bass on a Kissimmee fishing trip.

Central Florida lakes are known for largemouth bass, but you can also reel in bluegill, sunfish, and black crappie. Go fishing with a guide service to find where the fish are biting – all equipment is provided, plus pro fishing tips, sightseeing, and more.

Zip off on an exciting outdoor adventure

Enjoy 1,200 feet of high flying, heart pounding adventure from above the treetops as you're launched over a marsh filled with more than 100 alligators at speeds near 30 miles per hour. 

Equal parts scenic and serene, a hot air balloon adventure is a one-of-a-kind flight.

For a special occasion or just for fun, float over Kissimmee on an unforgettable hot air balloon ride. From this unique vantage point, you can glide over scenic Central Florida and glimpse wildlife from above. Cap the experience with a champagne toast when you land.

Take to the skies on a bold adventure and see Central Florida from new heights.

You'll find many ways to get your adrenaline flowing, from helicopter tours to hang gliding. You can even take the controls of a WWII vintage aircraft or experience the intense rush of freefall on a skydiving adventure.
