Water Sports In Orlando: Explore Paradise Cove

(COURTESY BUENA VISTA WATERSPORTS)

Take up water sports in the middle of Orlando while feeling like you’re on your own private island aboard a jet ski, boat, paddleboard, pontoon or kayak from Buena Vista Watersports. It’s located on Paradise Cove in Lake Bryan, a natural, spring-fed lake that’s just  minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and the Orange County Convention Center.

This 450-acre paradise is surrounded by cypress trees and tropical foliage. Professional instructors are at your beck and call for wakeboard and waterski lessons, as well as tubing and kneeboard rides—not only do they serve as your instructor, but also your driver. No one in your party has to forgo being on the water and get stuck in the driver’s seat!

For the ultimate in relaxation, charter a tour with a professional bass fisherman. Largemouth bass are plentiful in the lake’s waters, and your pro guide uses the most advanced technology possible to make your fishing dreams a reality. (Please note, this is a catch-and-release experience.)

While out on the lake, be sure to keep your eyes open to spot the abundant wildlife that calls it home—it’s not uncommon to see otters, herons, osprey and bald eagles. bvwatersports.com
