If you are looking to take an adventurous tour while in Florida, then you're in luck, as there are many great areas to plunge into the water. Read on to hear about some of the best areas to go on an adventure.
Bioluminescence Tours
There are few places on earth in which bioluminescent marine life resides close enough to the surface that it can be observed with the naked eye, however, in the Orlando area of Florida, one can find bioluminescent jellyfish and plankton near the surface of the water at night. If seeing this spectacle interests you, then check out a clear-bottom kayak tour with BK Adventures, the leading Floridian tour group for bioluminescent experiences.
Devil's Den Snorkeling
For those not scared of deep waters, snorkeling, or scuba diving the Devil’s Den is a perfect adventurous option. The Devil’s Den is part of Florida’s system of natural springs and is a trench spring within a cave. The Devil’s den is managed by an on-site group that charges $15 for admission and maintains amenities such as a campsite.
