Orlando Alligator Experience in Florida

Tour Description

OVERVIEW

Wildlife Abounds

For those paddlers and wildlife lovers that are a bit more adventurous we offer the amazing alligator experience. This 8 mile paddle down Orlando’s closest wild river is home to a large population of enormous alligators. Your experienced guides will get you close so you can get the perfect pictures. In addition to alligators we frequently spot otter, turtles, wild boar, black bear, coyote, and deer.

We take time stopping at numerous beaches for stretch breaks, dips in the river to cool off (yes it is safe), short hikes on the Florida trail, and a light snack under the remains of the Flagler railroad bridge.

This tour is also wonderful for our birding friends. Swallow Tail Kites, Bald Eagles, Crested Caracara, Limpkins, Ibis, and Roseate Spoonbills all call this river home.

Our founder and owner grew up near this river and still makes his home beside it. It is no wonder why he loves taking people out paddling on it and sharing its beauty.

At the end of the paddle we do what no other tour company in Orlando will, we shuttle you back to your car. We believe having to paddle out and back upstream is a horrible idea and only allows you to experience half of the river.

Private tours available for groups of five or more. Overnight camping tours to paddle the entire 20 miles available by contacting us.
