One
of the very entertaining touring services in Orlando is offered by
the International HeliTours. The International HeliTours is a helicopter
touring company that is offering to view scenic attractions and parks
from the air. In addition, this company specializes in the aerial photography
and film.
Another fun tour around Orlando is provided by the Ripley Believe It or
Not! Attraction where there are all kinds of weird, strange, and bizarre
things are displayed. This tour is based on the work and inspiration of
the American explorer, cartoonist, collector, and adventurer, Robert Ripley,
who devoted his life seeking and collecting unusual and strange things
around the world. For example, this year the tour will feature the African
fertility statues once again. Some 2,000 women believe that these fertility
statues have helped them to become pregnant, after they touched them during
the tour. Besides trolley tours there are many others, of course.
Tours at Florida’s Everglades National Park are held almost every
day and it is really a unique experience for those who love nature. It
is impossible to take an I Ride Trolley service to the Everglades, but
it can be reached by car by means of interstate 95 or the Florida Turnpike.
The Everglades tours are held on open airboats where people can enjoy the
view of the endless “River of Grass.” Historically Everglades
were and still are the gigantic mass of water or marshes, which prior to
drainage used to be about 4,000 square miles, inhabited by unique species
of birds, reptiles, snakes, fish, and plants. Some foreign species have
found shelter in Florida’s marshes as well and completely changed
the area’s normal flow of life. For example, the Asian native Burmese
python took Everglades for its home and now competes with alligators in
strength and size.
