Disney-MGM Studios

"The World you have entered was created by The Walt Disney Company and is dedicated to Hollywood - not a place on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic."

Fisheating Creek

Fisheating Creek is a wondrous little creek that drains water from Highlands County into Lake Okeechobee in South Central Florida. Until about two years ago the creek was mostly private land with no public access, until the State of Florida bought the property and turned it into a part of the Florida Trails program. Being just a short ride far away from LaBelle, kayaking here is weekend opportunity not to be missed. More…

Snorkeling - Key Largo

Snorkeling is fun, safe and easy. III's program participants join underwater tour to the shallow, inner coral reefs located at the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary and have been absolutely amazed at the underwater world that lives just offshore of Key Largo, only 4 hours drive from LaBelle.

Diving - Florida Keys

Diving is another fun activity that is easily reachable in LaBelle's few hours drive radius. Our program participants organize from time to time a weekend to Florida Keys, where they receive from professionals basic introduction to enjoying the underwater world and then come back to LaBelle with wide smiling faces, describing all the amazing experiences they just went through out there.

Key West

Key West is a very magical place. If you have visited here before, you are probably still talking about your vacation here and have some fond memories of a fabulous Key West sunset, walking down an Old Town Lane and smelling the jasmine or singing along downtown to a popular duo at one of the bars on Duval Street. If you have never been here before, you are in for a real treat. There is a Key West attraction for every person. You can enjoy a relaxing trip on a smaller charter to view dolphins in the wild or to kayak in the backcountry off Key West.

Fort Myers Beach

Fort Myers Beach is very lively with lots of family restaurants and bars along Estero Boulevard and attractions such as boat cruises, mini-golf courses, factory outlet shopping and the house of Thomas Edison (he liked it so much here that he brought his house down from New England and rebuilt it). Between November and March, you have the added pleasure of manatee spotting and you can spy dolphins year-round. Just 45 minutes ride from LaBelle!

Everglades National Park

The Everglades and the Ten Thousand Islands are rare and beautiful places. They are one of North America's unsung wild places - a beautiful, rugged, subtropical landscape experienced by a relatively few adventurous souls each year. Many, who appreciate the unique qualities of this wilderness, will argue that it is a place better kept secret. Just 1 hour ride from LaBelle is one of the national park official entrances.

Audubon Centers in Florida

Audubon is Florida 's oldest conservation organization, protecting birds and wildlife for more than a century. Each year it takes in about 700 wounded and orphaned raptors from all over Florida, tends to their wounds and nurses them back to health with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into the wild. Visiting theirs facilities or adding your help hand is welcome! More...
