Scenic/Eco Tours

.....................................................................................................................

Take a tour with us, let us show you the real Florida the one that our captains know about and few others seldom see.
You will get lost in an earlier time, where wildlife, tropical plants and trees, and the water's edge remain pristine and inviting just as they were when Chief Osceola of the Seminole Indians hunted and fished here long ago.

Bring your camera and perhaps catch a picture of a Bald Eagle or an Osprey as it swoops down to pick up a fish on the surface of the water. Watch the Gators as they bow up on the surface of the water as if to say, "stay away, this is my territory". But not to worry! Gators don't eat boats - or captains.

Our captain know the central Florida area lakes approximately 200 days a year whether on a charter, a fishing tournament, or just out scouting around for new hot spots. They know every square mile of the lakes, rivers, and streams around the central Florida area. So when it comes to touring and scenic adventures, they know where to go to change a regular boat ride into an unique and unforgettable adventure for everyone.

Our Scenic Tours are on Big Lake Tohopekaliga Downtown Kissimmee at Big Toho Marina. The narrated tours are for approximately 90 minutes, on a 24 foot pontoon boat.Presently we are operating a 24 foot pontoon boat, registered for 13 passengers on Big Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho) and the Kissimmee Chain of lakes.

NATURE TOURS

Makinson Island - Owned by the Makinson family originally, the 132-acre island offers approximately 3.5 miles of hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities. Located in the middle of Lake Tohopekaliga used to house an exotic animal before the state bought it for $4.3 million in 1999. The former owner, Dick Dickerman, had a caged lion, alligators, exotic goats, llamas and peacocks. Most of the animals were sold however the Goats are still there along with Wild Hogs, Deer, Raccoons, Armadillos, Eagles, Owls, and other wildlife. The island is now a county park and is open to the public. It offers a covered deck grill, potable toilets, primitive campsites, gazebo, and dock.
