The Real Florida

So you’re in Central Florida for a conference, on vacation, or maybe you live here! But have you ever seen the real Florida? Many of us, residents included, have no idea how diverse, how immense and how beautiful the natural Florida outdoors are.

Birds, manatees, dolphins, land, sea or sky, we’d like to show a slice of our world, beyond what the theme parks and night clubs can offer.

Local Knowledge can help show you what all the hooplah is about. Our friendly, charismatic guides will teach you about the amazing plants and animals while hiking on LAND, or kayak with us and learn about the amazing creatures of the SEA, or join us for a bird watching trip and learn about what’s flying by in the SKY. Come on a nature tour and learn while you laugh like a kid again!
