    FAQs

    Bring sunscreen, a hat, and binoculars if you enjoy birding. Wear footwear that can get wet, as you will launch your canoe rental from a beach.

    Rentals depart rain or shine, so bring a poncho or raincoat. Launches stop when lightning is reported within 5 miles of the launch area and resume after it has been outside that radius for 30 minutes.

    Perfect for cooling off in the summer. Great for escaping the hustle and bustle of Orlando for a day. There were three of us, and we also rented a canoe – we booked the entrance fee and canoe rental in advance. We booked 4 hours for $55 USD; 2 hours cost $50 USD… so it's worth spending the extra $5 USD. After paddling downstream for about 30 minutes, you can make a short stop for something to eat or drink. Along the way, you'll encounter pure wildlife – turtles, fish, birds… and alligators (we saw, for example, 10 baby alligators basking in the sun). The outdoor pool is also highly recommended. The water, at around 23 degrees Celsius, is a welcome respite on hot days… the water is clear, and it wasn't very crowded when we were there.
