The 90 Minute Adventure Tour launches from Kissimmee and carries riders beyond the usual roadside glimpses into a living estuary of cypress domes, grassy marshes and open water. Onboard, a local captain balances bursts of speed with quieter stretches so passengers can spot alligators, otters and wading birds while hearing the stories of how a small creek became a vast wetland.
