Are you ready for a Central Florida Eco-Adventure?


Seems as if everyone comes to Central Florida to visit Disney World and the other major attractions. Little do folks know that Mother Nature has natural attractions of her own just a few miles away in almost every direction. We are truly fortunate in Mount Dora to have some of the finest natural springs, lakes and waterways in the entire world.


A kayak tour of the Wekiva River, Dora Canal or Alexander Springs, just to name a few, will transport you into another world. Wildlife is abundant and our area is certainly famous for it's bird watching and ranks among the top spots in the country for that activity. For a close up of our waterways check out Lake County's Blueways in the boating section of our website.


If kayaking isn't your thing you can take an Eco-tour of the waterways around Mount Dora via pontoon boat with Lake County Waterways.

The Captain's at Lake County Waterways are experts on the wildlife and history of the area and will entertain you for a two hour tour that will absolutely delight you.

You can also enjoy great savings and value by choosing from Eco-packages sponsored by some of Mount Dora's Innkeepers.

The Adora Inn Bed & Breakfast in Downtown Mount Dora has a fabulous eco-package to fit any budget.

Central Florida Eco-Package

You can't go wrong by experiencing the best of mother nature in Central Florida. Hope to see you on the water soon.
