After doing the Disney/Universal tours in Orlando, we wanted to see something different. We took a 30 minute drive to Winter Park, Florida for a scenic boat tour.
After all the plastic and contrived "fun" in Orlando, this boat tour was a breath of fresh air---literally. It only costs $8 per person for the 1 hr tour and showcased the natural beauty of Winter Haven's lakes and canal. You also get a peek of the beautiful houses on the lake.
The tours leave on the hour and the captain/guide was informative and funny. The boat seats about 15 and is open to the elements---so dress accordingly.
I would highly recommend this "off beat" Florida adventure.
