Eco Travel in Kissimmee
What you need to know before you go

Get away from the tourist traps along highway 192 and see the real Kissimmee!

Stretching south from downtown Kissimmee is the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, which are the headwaters for the entire Everglades system. These lakes are teeming with wildlife including alligators and the kind of Bass that brings world-class fishing tournaments to the area.

The best way to get up close and personal with this side of Kissimmee is probably an airboat ride. But opportunities for hiking, and horseback riding abound as well.

Picnic on 30 miles of undeveloped shoreline with bays, sand dunes, sea turtles.
