A Can't-Miss Tour Of The Dora Canal!

Fantastic!

The boat, Captain and crew, were great! The canals are a must see! I bring all my guests to see the beauty of the water and trees. Worth doing!

Delightful 2 hours on the lake

This was my second time visiting Mr. Dora and my first boat ride on the lake. The boat was a mostly covered pontoon style motorboat. The day we booked, a friday, we were the only people on the 10 AM tour. There is another company that specifies that if there aren't at least 6 they don't leave the dock. Nor Rusty Anchor...

Beautiful Canal tour

I would highly recommend this tour. The tour left on time, the boat was clean. They also provide cold bottled water, a plus on a hot day. The captain knew his stuff and was quite the comedian. The canal was gorgeous and we saw several types of birds and a small gator. They also allow you to bring a cooler with drinks and food. An A+ in my book

INTERESTING and FUN

Very friendly and informative trip! The 2 hours went really fast and a lot of unexpected and unknown Florida history was brought up. You can also stand and move about on the boat. I definitely recommend this tour, you will be glad you did.

Great fun

This tour seems to have it all. A comfortable boat (water and ice provided) takes you along the lake where you can take in the views. It then takes you along one of the canals and out to the lake on the other side. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.
