SPRING TIME TOURS - Extra 4:30pm Dora Canal Tour

A fantastic time of year to see what the Dora Canal and Harris Chain of Lakes has to offer. We are currently (March 2024) seeing: 

• Alligators (Big & Small)
• Bald Eagles (including juveniles)
• Turtles (Yellow belly, Cooter, Florida Soft Shell & even Alligator Snapping)
• Great Blue Herons (including juveniles)
• Anhingas (Mostly nesting)
• Wood Storks
• Wood Ducks (Only from a distance)
• Smaller Herons (Blue, Tri-color & Green)

The trees and plants are all springing into action and greening up for the spring and summer. 

4:30pm Dora Canal Tour is a great way to see the canal at what is currently the warmest part of the day. Everything likes to come out and display itself. (Up until Saturday March 9th, this tour will also take in the Sunset while travelling back across Lake Dora)

In town for the Art Festival and need a break from the crowds. Join us for a Boat Tour. Call or drop in to our Boat House at the Lakeside Inn to book. Don't forget to grab a drink from the Waterside Bar on your way down.

 

 

Thanksgiving will be here sooner than you know it! 

We start our Christmas Cruises the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year our Christmas Cruise on Saturday November 25th will also incorporate a Fireworks Display by the City of Mount Dora. See the picture below for information on the Christmas and Fireworks Cruise.

 As of the end of September 2023, our 'New Rates' will come into effect. The rates that are currently on the website, are the New Rates. If you go on a tour before the end of September 2023, you will pay our current rates. Which are a few dollars less.

 

The month of May on Lake Dora and the Dora Canal

One of my favorite months as there is so much to see and the full heat of the summer is not here yet. Oh, also the afternoon thunderstorms have not started yet!

Daily sighting of Alligators, big and small.

All types of Herons, some still have babies.

Water Plants, all blooming.

The are less other boaters around than in the Spring.

Join us for a tour. 

Daily tours to the Dora Canal at 11am and 2pm 

Sunset Cruise at 7:15pm
