The boat tour was great. It was informative and enjoyable time on the lakes. Randy was great and shared with us all the wildlife and history of the lakes.

Everything!! Chance to escape the hubbub of Kissimmee where we were staying for the peaceful and beautiful Chain of Lakes. Many birds (our favorite!!), turtles and alligators along with cypress trees and knees. Very knowledgeable and congenial driver and tour guide.

I booked this tour for my boat loving boyfriend & it really relaxed him. Captain D talks you through everything and gives you historical facts, it’s very interesting! Worth the $. There was a family of 3 on board with us and I couldn’t imagine the ride without them!
