If your budget allows and you have interest, rent a pontoon for a day-ride around the Lakes. The Dora Canal is one of the prettiest miles of water in the state and there are docks at the edges of swamps where you can tie down and grab some fried gator nuggets all throughout. You can also tie down at downtown Lake Dora, and stretch your legs on the way to lunch at any of around a dozen local restaurants there.

Cost for pontoon rental is around $350 for a full 8-hour cruise, and the boats seat up to 10 people. You have to pilot it yourself and the price includes fuel.
