Frequently Asked Questions:
  • On our tours, ensuring the safety and comfort of our guests is paramount. While the Winter Park Chain of Lakes is home to various wildlife, including alligators, sightings of these creatures are exceptionally rare, and we've actually never encountered one on our tours.

    Alligators play a crucial role in Florida's local ecosystem and are often very cautious around humans, avoiding interaction. During our tours, we emphasize the importance of maintaining a respectful distance from all wildlife in their natural habitats.
