We enjoyed this tour and learned a lot about Winter Park, the lakes and birds. Parking was easy and the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. More

This is a real gem! Inexpensive, relaxing, and informative. This attraction has been around since 1930s. It's family own and managed with pride by the owner. Parking was very easy. My family really enjoyed the boat ride. More

Everyone who visits Winter Park/Orlando must take this boat ride through the interconneted lakes in Winter Park. It not only is beautiful, it is educational. The hour breezes by as your guide gives the history of the area and the homes. You sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds. Wonderful even the second time! More

On a hot day the breeze on the lakes is very refreshing, although sun block and a hat are recommended. The views of the lake side properties is excellent and the captains narration helps provide some colour. The trips through... More

We heard about this from our waiter at a local restaurant and decided to check it out since it seemed like a cheap activity ($12/person) on the beautiful Winter Park lakes. We arrived just before 3:00 PM and were able to get on one of the boats (three left about the same time and they leave on the hour). The... More

At the time of our visit access to one of the three lakes was closed so we just toured the two. This resulted in a more leisurely trip with a plesent and detailed commentary from our escort / captain. We found the experience pleseant and would recommend a visit More

I grew up in Winter Park, but it had been a long time since I had been on the Winter Park Scenic Boat tour...my mom, and our two boys ages 6 and 3 went on a weekday morning ride, and it was great! We all enjoyed it very much. Beautiful day, and we learned a lot! More

Refreshing way to relax on an 85 deg day in april. Very informative, knowlegable guide, however the venetian canal was closed for dredging due to lack of rain and the boats are very old and could use a canopy on hot sunny fla days. More
