Orlando Winter Park - Boat Tour

Winter Park should be a wealthy area near Orlando, and the luxury houses built along the lake are jaw-dropping. The best way to see these mansions is to take a Scenic Boat Tour and hear the stories behind these houses during a 50-minute tour. The Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour offers an 18-passenger flat-bottom boat tour where visitors can explore the beautiful Winter Park chain of lakes. The tour takes you through three lakes and two narrow man-made canals that are sometimes called the "Venice of America." You’ll have the opportunity to see Kraft Azalea Gardens and the Isle of Sicily, as well as luxurious private homes and exquisite estates along the way. Your guide will point out scenic views along the way, and you might also spot a large crane hunting at the water's edge or a lazy alligator resting on a nearby riverbank. We didn't see any alligators during our 50 minute trip 🐊, and I didn't see any wild alligators during my week-long trip to Orlando. The tour guide said this is the training place for the Rollins College swim team. I don't know if any of their team members have disappeared inexplicably. I read on the Internet that there have been no cases of alligators eating people in Florida in recent years, but there are still cases of missing people. 😨. During the entire trip, I couldn't stop praising the guide not only for his driving skills, but also for his extensive knowledge and sense of humor. It would be more interesting if it wasn't limited by my English level. Florida is still very sunny in October. If you ask me what the disadvantages of this trip are, I will tell you: there are no sunshade facilities during the trip⁉️The tour guide said that this is because when we are traveling between the narrow canals, if there are awnings, it will affect our passage. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you bring sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. (After traveling in Florida, I became more than one or two degrees darker, so I gave up treatment). The Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour starts at 10 a.m. and departs every hour, with the last tour departing at 4 p.m. • Adult ticket price is USD20, child ticket price (2-11 years old) is USD10, children under 2 years old are free. • Operates from 10am to 4pm every day except Christmas Day. • The tour starts at 312 East Morse Blvd., Winter Park, FL 32789. While we were boarding the boat, we also saw nearby residents driving their small boats to refuel⛽️. There's really no class atmosphere here.
