Adrenaline junkies will enjoy an assortment of airborne thrills in Central Florida. For a heart-pounding hang gliding experience, head to Wallaby Ranch in Davenport. While strapped into a tandem glider with an instructor, you will be tugged into the air by a small airplane and released at 2,000 feet. Then you may leisurely glide, maneuver and enjoy the scenery. A tandem flight with an instructor costs about $120.
Or, experience the excitement of skydiving without taking to the skies. For about $45, you can enjoy an hour of indoor skydiving at SkyVenture Orlando. After slipping into your flight suit, you may enjoy heart-pumping leaps and falls while suspended midair in a wind tunnel.
Not an adrenaline junkie? No problem. For a more relaxing experience, enjoy a hot air balloon ride from Orange Blossom Balloons. Rides for adults start at $175 and offer a unique view of Orlando's theme parks. At the end of each action-packed day, look forward to comfortable and spacious accommodations at Sheraton Vistana Resort or Sheraton Vistana Villages in Orlando, Florida.
