Orlando’s many nature parks and preserves offer a treasure trove of wildlife for you to explore, including hiking, bicycling and other outdoor activities. For starters, numerous resorts feature trails and reserves that are ideal for walking, biking and other activities.
Crystal-clear waters make for perfect scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing — not to mention manatee encounters — and you can find all four at several pristine natural springs less than an hour’s drive from Orlando.
Orlando’s natural flora and fauna offer a relaxing escape for some travelers, but others crave a wilder ride. Go wild with pulse-pounding off-road adventures, zip-line courses, airboat excursions and other ways to play outdoors. You can even drive a tank!
