Destinations / North America

As one of the fastest-growing destinations in the United States for adventure, Orlando has no shortage of exciting experiences for family travelers. But with so many options in this family-friendly city, how can you narrow down what to do with the family for your next getaway?

 

Viator offers a plethora of open-air adventures, kayaking/canoeing, ATV/off-road tours and daytime/sunset cruises for families. Here are three outdoor Orlando experiences for the family:

 

Wild Florida Drive-Thru Safari and Gator Park Admission

Forego crowded bus tours and opt for a more intimate safari experience on this self-guided tour where you can drive your own vehicle through the Wild Florida Drive-Thru Safari Park. On the drive, look out for more than 100 animals, from zebras to bison to alligators. Kids will love feeding giraffes by hand.

 

Cypress Forest Guided Kayak Nature Eco-Tour

Kayak along the quiet waters beneath a forest of cypress trees on this guided tour. Kayakers will traverse through the habitat of Floridian wildlife, including hawks, frogs, spoonbills and alligators. All gear is provided, guides are ACA-certified, and tours are available for kids ages 4 and up.

 

Sunset Airboat Ride Near Orlando

Immerse the family into the rich wildlife of the Florida Everglades on this one-hour, sunset airboat tour. You’ll get to sail the shallow waters not accessible to standard boats and spot animals like flocks of birds and cattle moving before dusk sets in.
