Winter Haven Chain of Lakes Sunset Cruise

Explore the Chain of Lakes
with your captain and guide

This small-group sunset cruise departs from the Harborside Restaurant dock, where you meet your captain and guide, with a maximum of 10 participants. The 1-hour cruise departs about 1 hour before sunset and visits 3 to 4 lakes, while the 2-hour cruise departs about 2 hours before sunset and visits 5 to 7 lakes.

Pass cypress trees, canals and lakefront homes

Glide past old cypress trees, quiet canals and historic lakefront homes while your captain and guide shares the natural and cultural history of the area.

Look for wildlife on the lakes at dusk

Keep an eye out for native wildlife such as alligators, great blue herons, white ibises and the occasional great horned owl. The golden hour around sunset is ideal for spotting wildlife as animals become more active.

Enjoy dinner at the restaurant before or after

For a more relaxing evening, you can dine at Harborside Restaurant before or after your cruise. On request, reservations and preferred seating can be arranged. Meals are not included.

※ Wildlife lives in the wild, so sightings are not guaranteed.
