There’s A New Holiday Boat Tour In Central Florida
Embark on a Holiday Adventure with Wekiva Wild River Tours at Wekiva Island.
Central Florida’s newest attraction is making waves—literally! Wekiva Wild River Tours is now offering one-of-a-kind guided boat tours launching from the beautiful and eco-friendly Wekiva Island in Seminole County. Just 30 minutes from downtown Orlando, this experience lets you glide along the pristine Wekiva River in style, making it a perfect escape for locals and visitors alike.
Explore the Wekiva River in Comfort
Forget paddles and canoes—this tour is all about relaxation and exploration. Each one-hour adventure welcomes up to six guests aboard a custom boat outfitted with comfy couches, river-themed decor, and unbeatable views. It’s a cozy yet immersive way to experience one of Florida’s most scenic waterways, rich with wildlife and lush ecosystems.
Founder Angel Ramos is thrilled to share the Wekiva River’s hidden wonders with the public:
“In the past, people could only explore the Wekiva River as far as they could paddle, unless they were one of the lucky handful with a private way to access the river,” Ramos said. “We are excited to open a wider window and share this Central Florida gem, and we’re thrilled to call Wekiva Island our home port.”
Daily Departures Year-Round
With tours departing every hour and 15 minutes, there’s always a chance to hop aboard. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun day out, a nature enthusiast keen to spot otters, turtles, and birds, or a visitor searching for a slice of authentic Florida, this tour has you covered.
After the tour, you can enjoy everything Wekiva Island has to offer—from riverside dining to laid-back lounging under the Florida sun.
Holiday Cheer on the River
Looking for something extra festive? During Wekiva Island’s annual Winter Wonderland celebration, Wekiva Wild will transform into a floating holiday sleigh! Expect jingle bells, cheerful decor, and a touch of holiday magic as you cruise the river.
Tickets & Private Tours
Tickets are $42 for adults and $32 for children, with the option to rent the boat for private tours—a great idea for birthdays, special outings, or a unique holiday gathering.
A Vision for the Wekiva River
Wekiva Wild isn’t just a boat tour; it’s a celebration of the river’s beauty and a way to connect the community to its natural treasures. For Ramos, this new venture is an extension of his work with AMI Escapes on Anna Maria Island. For Wekiva Island owner Bill Weinaug, it’s another way to fulfill his mission of creating a window into the Wekiva River for everyone.
“When I purchased this property, I did it with the goal of being one of the only windows to the magnificent Wekiva River for the public,” Weinaug said. “I’m so excited to be able to offer our guests another way to experience this incredible place.”
