EXCURSION TOURS

Flying home late on your day of departure?? Then take an excursion tour and create memories you’ll be talking about for years to come. Besides who knows how long it will be before you’re back in our neck of the woods.

The following tours are only recommendations by us due to their proximity to Port Canaveral and The Orlando Airport. However there are many attractions theme park style and off the beaten path type that are within 20 minutes drive from the Orlando Airport. Feel free to take advantage of our knowledge of the area and the 22 years we’ve been around to help you decide on the right playground for you and your family and call us at 1-800-258-1015. Also be advised that we do not sell any tickets to any of these attractions and we will take you there, safeguard your luggage and bring you back to your final destination at the price of an airport transfer ( 1-14 passenger groups only ). This is in addition to the Airport-to-Port and/or Port-to-Airport transfer fees. Click here for rates.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER ( How far: 15 minutes from Port Canaveral How long: 3 to 5 hrs. ): You may want to check out The KSC Bus Tour (2-3 hrs) taking you close to the launch pads and Saturn Rockets exhibits. Also at the Kennedy Space Center is the Rocket Garden, The Astronaut Memorial and other exhibits. One of the most popular attractions there is an IMAX movie called The Dream Is Alive which is a tribute to the space shuttle Challenger showing views of the earth in such breathtaking format that you’d have to fly into space to top it off.
