As the UK's #1 Independent Florida holiday company, we know all the hidden gems of Orlando. Beyond the rip-roaring fun of The Theme Park Capital of the World lies wildlife adventures, upscale shopping, and world-class night-time entertainment. And when you book a holiday with us, we give you free Orlando experiences with our Explorer packages. We've revamped our offerings, moving beyond the single Ocean Explorer package to introduce five themed packages and three limited-time options, valued up to $549 per family of four.

Every month, we switch it up with a fresh Explorer package, ensuring there's always something new and exciting for the whole family. Our next Explorer package we are promoting from 13 May is the Entertainment Explorer, packed with 5 free Orlando experiences. Interested to read about our new Explorer packages? Read below to find out all the details to unleash your inner explorer.


One Constant in All the Change

In a whirlwind of 8 new Explorer packages, one constant remains: the I-Ride Trolley. Luckily, every package includes free access to the I-Ride Trolley for 7 days, allowing you to effortlessly navigate the thrilling attractions along I-Drive. Running along Orlando's bustling International Drive, this trolley grants you easy access to renowned stops like SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, ICON Park, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, WonderWorks, FunSpot America, and other fun attractions. 



What’s more, some of Orlando’s top restaurants and shopping centres lie on this route, so you can stop for lunch or some retail therapy in between your adventures. Enjoy frequent transport every 20 minutes on the air-conditioned bus - a perfect respite in the Orlando heat. Operating between the hours of 8 am and 10:30 pm, you’ll have the whole day to explore International Drive’s entertainment strip on the I-Ride Trolley route. 


Classic Explorer

Our pioneering Ocean Explorer package is renamed the Classic Explorer, and this timeless favourite is packed with Orlando’s finest offerings, such as free rides, shopping sprees, side-splitting comedy, and a sprinkle of magic as you soar above the Orlando skyline. Let's dive into all the amazing perks of the Classic Explorer, valued at $440 per family of four.



First up, the star of the show – your 7-day I-Ride Trolley Pass. Say goodbye to parking headaches and hello to easy breezy transportation around town. But that's not all – hop on the trolley to hit up two more Classic Explorer experiences: the Orlando Eye at ICON Park and the Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show at WonderWorks. Reach new heights as you ascend 400 feet above the city, then indulge in endless pizza and beer while being treated to a side-splitting magic performance that'll have you in stitches.



And as if that wasn't enough, we're throwing in a $20 gift card to the Mall at Millenia, where you can shop till you drop at one of Orlando's premier malls, boasting over 150 stores, services, and eateries. But first, you will arrive with free valet parking to the value of $12, so you can take your time exploring the mall for your perfect purchase. What's more, when you see the beauty and cosmetics shop Sephora, pop in to collect another free gift from us!

Please note that adults and children aged 12 and above are eligible for this voucher.


Wildlife Explorer

Calling all nature buffs and adventure seekers – Wildlife Explorer is here to unleash the untamed side of Florida. Valued up to $549 for a family of four, this package is your ticket to an adrenaline-fueled outdoor journey through the Sunshine State. On top of your I-Ride Trolley Pass, you’ll also venture to the heart of the action at Gatorland. Brace yourself for an intrepid encounter at the Alligator Capital of the World, with over 2,000 American alligators, including rare white leucistic gators. But this swampy wonderland is also home to a menagerie of exotic wildlife, from wild cats and exotic birds to tortoises, snakes, and capybaras. 



Watch in awe as gators leap 4 feet out of the water, catch the Up-Close Encounters show, and get up close and personal with the critters at the farmyard petting zoo. For an extra thrill, dive into Gatorland's exhilarating extras for an added cost. Zipline 350 feet over a breeding gator marsh, enter a barrier-free gator swamp, or board the Stompin' Gator Off-Road Adventure for a ride through a teeming gator pond!
