 Scenic tours on Lake Tohopekaliga |
101 Lakeshore Boulevard Orlando, FL 34741 United States +1 407 846 2814 http://www.Florida-Nature.com/ |
When you're speeding down I-4 or the other expressways that tear across central Florida, you see very little of the land forms that once played such a vital role in the area. Courtesy Aquatic Wonders Boat Tours, you can cruise a lake that has played a part in the region's history since the earliest Native American days. As you chug along, a narrator fills you in on some of central Florida's geography and heritage. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Observe a cattle ranch |
1800 Mac Overstreet Road Orlando, FL 34746 United States +1 407 847 3559 |
Central Florida's not known for cowboys, but the success of this area was once based on raising and selling cattle. At one time Florida was one of the three largest cattle-producing states. This company offers group tours into the backwoods, where ranching is still a way of life. Meeting planners, attending cowboy talent exhibitions, cattle drives, and a selection of other cattle-country diversions are some of what you can expect. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Romantic flight and champagne brunch |
P. O. Box 452953 Orlando, FL 34745 United States +1 407 856 4606 http://www.skyscapesballoontou... |
Going up in the world gives you a whole new perspective, and this company is here to help you do that! Rising in a hot-air balloon, you float over glittering lakes and pine forests, the Magic Kingdom and roller coasters, tiny villages, and the vast megalopolis of Orlando. From your perch, you'll get a new look at this vast development that has sprouted from the pastureland of central Florida, a man made maze that hides much of the region's original beauty. When your flight is over, you celebrate in the traditional balloonist's way with a bottle of champagne, a picnic, and a flight certificate. Check the website for information on tours.
