The tour launches from Wekiva Island, the indoor/outdoor recreation complex in Seminole County.
“In the past, people could only explore the Wekiva River as far as they could paddle, unless they were one of the lucky handful with a private way to access the river,” Angel Ramos, Wekiva Wild founder, said in a statement. “We are excited to open a wider window and share this Central Florida gem, and we’re thrilled to call Wekiva Island our home port, only 30 minutes from downtown Orlando.”
The tours take off every hour and 15 minutes and are offered daily.
“Guests will have the opportunity to explore and learn about the river’s unique ecosystem and abundant wildlife aboard a custom boat, featuring comfortable couches, river-inspired decor, and more. After, they can grab bites or a drink at Wekiva Island and soak up the Florida sun riverside,” a release said.
During the holiday season, there will be daily “sleigh” rides with a holiday-inspired boat.
Tickets are $42 for adults and $32 for kids 12 and under. To learn more or buy tickets, click here.
