Very fun tour. Nathan was our guide, and we had a great time. We brought the drummer for Journey…read moreon the outing and he told us it was the most fun he'd had in a year. The first part of the tour was a guided, informational, trip through local lakes and rivers. With radios in each two-person boat, we listened to the interesting information about origins of lakes, interesting buildings we passed, and general trivia. At the end, we were turned loose to race around a lake and have fun. Great experience. Thank you!

1000 percent recommend. The guide was amazing, the boats ran great and the scenery was…read moreoutstanding. We showed up at 8:30 for the first trip of the day. We got out a few minutes early and the weather was great. They give you a ton of information about the area and let you spend about 15 minutes driving the boats around without limit. The boats get up to 30-35 miles per hour and are easy to control. They hand out waters and life jackets. Even an unskilled boater can handle it. I will 100% be back

He showed us a great time on the lake and introduced us to a beautiful piece of natural Florida that you don't often get to see on the Dora Canal.

This was an absolute adventure! As someone who is not usually into water activities, I wasn't quite…read moresure what to expect, but this turned out to be such an enjoyable experience. The weather, our tour guide, and the beautiful views along Lake Dora and the Dora Canal all came together perfectly. This was our first time doing anything like this. My sister was the one operating the boat. It took us a few minutes to get comfortable with the steering and speed controls, but once we got the hang of it, it was fairly easy to navigate. The full-throttle speed felt a little too fast for us, so we decided to take it slower and enjoy the ride at our own pace. The tour guide and rest of the group were very understanding and kindly waited for us to catch up with them. Overall, it was a fun and unique way to experience Lake Dora and the beautiful Dora Canal. If you're looking for something a little adventurous but are hesitant because you don't have much boating experience, I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

This visit I had the Bison Burger, Joyful Chicken & Waffles, and Frozen Eggnog Delight. Everything was delicious. The Eggnog, however, was not frozen as advertised.

I look forward to returning next year for SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration.

They offer a variety of experiences in central Florida to cater to every level. If you want to gain more experience and learn, they offer lessons. And they have a beginner friendly tour, too. Maybe you want to plan a custom paddle adventure, well -- they do that also! Already have a SUP? They have a BYOB option for their tours. On top of providing all these amazing chances to be on the water, Ned and Tom also provide the greatest care to everyone. They're both so genuine and kind, as well as in tune with the needs of each group member. Love the vibe they have and the easy going, welcoming environment they create. Can't wait for our next adventure together!

PJ was our Tour Driver, he was great and cleaned the whole bus every time we got in and out. We got to watch Finding Nemo and Con-Air on the trip to and from as a group and we really got into it. Hotel Pickup was also offered complimentary which is fantastic right now since it saves on uber to a designated point. Breakfast and lunch were really great! Boxed lunches with plenty of options and they will help you if you bring up any dietary needs. The Manatee tour was great, we were in late winter so there were plenty of Manatees and also beautiful fish to see. The wetsuits help in such cold water. I was really suprised at how large the wildlife park was, there were a ton of birds which are always the most interesting to me. And there's an adorable old hippo who is particularly famous. The highlight for me was the airboat tour from Wild Bill's airboats. I have been to Wild Florida and Boggy Creek before, but this was the most scenic and we must have seen 15 alligators of various sizes. We also got a complimentary upgrade to the hour long tour, and the guide was truly a long-timer who knew every answer to our questions. 10/10 would go again.

It actually broke while walking to the boat and in the water. The water was 72 degrees and not bad. I stayed in the water the full time with no issues. The kids were in and out. They had hot cocoa on the boat. We saw quite a few manatee and enjoyed watching the swimming and hearing them much the sea grass underwater. It was so peaceful. We really enjoyed ourselves and the guides were great! The kids asked to do it again! I take that as a major win. They are 12 and 8 years. Lunch was yummy. The state park had great animals and we enjoyed walking around. The airboat is such a great experience and feels like no other boat. You must do this tour! Thank you Real Florida Adventures!

I ran my first Disney half marathon this past weekend and it was quite the experience! From start…read moreto finish, there were lots of different emotions. Let me break it down for ya... The Good: - In true Disney fashion, the organization was impressive. I arrived at the Expo the afternoon before the race and it didn't feel crowded, taking about 20 minutes to get through the entire process. - I stayed at the All Star Sports resort which was great for snagging transportation to/from the race on the shuttles. They even had coffee and concessions open at 3:00 am for the runners! - There were a couple of bands and some speakers playing Disney tunes along the way. A good excuse to turn off my headphones and tune into my surroundings. The Great: - I got my best time on a half marathon yet! Mostly due to the cold I'm sure, but I was also in Corral B so didn't have too many people to weave through. - Snacks at the end were clutch, with lots of water and Powerade provided. Water and Powerade were also available throughout the race at regular intervals by so many volunteers who I applaud! - The medal is super cute! There were also photo opps at the end with certain characters like Dopey, Goofy and Donald, the race mascots. - The fireworks at the start of each corral was a pleasant surprise! - It's fun to see how into the race and theme people get with their attire. Whether you want to wear a princess tutu or go full out in a costume, you'll see a little bit of everything! The Meh: - $188 entry fee and no, that doesn't get you entry into the park afterwards like some would assume. - The race starts at 5:30 am and they said you have to be on the buses by 3:30 am to make it there in time. Don't be scared and hop on that 4:30 am bus... I promise you'll make it in time and be thankful for that extra hour of sleep. - I wasn't a huge fan of the course. You really only run through Magic Kingdom and that doesn't feel like a very long time. It is magical when you make it there though. Besides that, you're stuck on the highway and roads that can get a little boring. There are characters for photo opps along the way but I was too worried about making it through to stop and wait in line. Overall, I'm very happy I did it! I wouldn't rush to do another Disney race though. When you add up the cost of entry, cost of park tickets later on, and hotel, coupled with the lackluster scenery, it's hard to justify. Even so, there's something special about the Happiest Place on Earth that keeps ya coming back for more.

Orlando's January is cold!…read more Besides that, I love the Walt Disney Marathon Weekend. I love the courses, the medals, the entertainment, the Parks, the excitement! But there was something at the WDW Marathon Weekend, something really special that, had I known about it beforehand, I would have registered my daughter for: A Diaper Dash! Come to find out, all of the Disney races, whether in Orlando or Anaheim, promote Diaper Dashes. I'd known there were kids races, but I hadn't known that babies were also included in the fun! Now, this was exciting: little ones, dressed in their best Disney "running" attire, crouched at the starting line in ready position, while Mickey Mouse himself encouraged all dashers from the finish line, 10-or-so yards away! All of the dashers received not only hugs from the Big Cheese, but were awarded medals as well. We loved it!

My teenage son and I had such a great first time paddle boarding! Trust me he doesn't find many things enjoyable anymore so I highly recommend if you are looking for something to do with your teens or with the whole family. We have to give a huge thank you to our wonderful tour guide Sabrina. She went above & beyond our expectations! (Took some great pictures as well!) She was very helpful, made our experience easy, smooth and most importantly enjoyable. We only wished we would've done a longer tour to get to head out even further in the water, but we will definitely be doing that next time when we come back since we don't own any paddle boards this tour is definitely something worth doing, especially if it's your first time like it was for us. The area has portable pottys as well as two regular restrooms to change before and after your tour. They also have a shop where they sell souvenirs and a few other items. Ps. You don't have to rent a locker, you will get a chance to put all your stuff away before your tour starts. If you are visiting they have camp sites that are ideal if you're looking to make a whole weekend out of it. I highly recommend it, I definitely can't wait to come back even though I'm two hours away it was definitely worth it!
