TICKET PRICES STARTING FROM
Taxes and fees will be calculated at checkout
Overview
The Dora Canal offers one of the most scenic and peaceful paddling experiences in Central Florida, with calm water, abundant wildlife, and a shaded canopy of towering cypress trees draped in Spanish moss. Unlike many launches that require a long paddle to reach scenic areas, our waterfront location provides quick and easy access to the canal, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the scenery. After your paddle, you’re just steps away from the waterfront park, restaurants, and seaplane activity that make downtown Tavares a unique destination. What sets this experience apart: • Direct and easy access to the famous Dora Canal • Calm, beginner-friendly water and relaxed paddling • Frequent wildlife sightings in a natural setting • Scenic cypress canopy and authentic Old Florida atmosphere • Waterfront location in walkable downtown Tavares
