Rev Up Your Holiday with Revolution Adventures!

When you’re looking for that extra bit of excitement on your Orlando villa holiday, something your jaded teens won’t forget or for that special occasion, Revolution Adventures in Lake County has what you need.

Just off the beaten tourist track of Highway 27 – where you’ll find lovely villa communities like Highlands Reserve – this unique attraction is perfectly situated to provide a real adrenalin boost, as well as a great excursion into 230 acres of pristine Florida countryside.

It’s also a British-owned and run operation, which means they are always keen to see our guests, and it’s a guaranteed Sunshine State experience that leaves visitors coming back for more.

Situated just 12 miles west of Cagan Crossings restaurant and shopping center in southern Clermont (where you’ll find High Grove and Orange Tree communities), Revolution Adventures specialises in offroad activities, in addition to the chance to try your hand at bass fishing, archery and clay shooting.

ATV Adventures

The highlight attraction is their series of 4 x 4 vehicles, the ATVs, otherwise known as All-Terrain Vehicles or Quad Bikes. These powerful offroad Trailblazers are huge fun to ride and extremely safe, even for novices.

You start with an orientation session into the vehicles themselves to make sure everyone is comfortable in control of them (especially the stopping part!). They provide the necessary safety equipment, as well as dust hoods for under your helmet – and you WILL get dusty, or even downright filthy, so be sure to wear old clothes, as well as closed-in shoes or trainers.

Once everyone is ready to roll, your guide will lead you out on two 35-minute sessions across specially created trails that are ideal for these offroad rambles. Safety is the watchword here, hence you can’t go off on your own, but the guides always ensure plenty of four-wheel fun, and just driving these machines provides plenty of excitement.

Although you do not need a driving licence to participate, you must be at least 16 to ride unaccompanied and have a valid photo ID to participate, while those under 18 need to be with a parent or guardian.

Mucky Ducks and Buggy Trails

If want to rev things up even more, consider either one of these more audacious options that cover much of the same territory but in drastically different style.

The Mucky Duck is a unique eight-wheeled amphibious vehicle, commonly known as an Argo, that allows riders to leave terra firma behind and cross through some serious large-scale waterways as well as the main lake at the heart of the attraction.

You have to be at least 21, with a valid driver’s licence, to get behind the wheel, but it can seat up to four, can carry passengers as young as four and features a full hour of traversing the offroad terrain in high style.

Equally high in the fun offroad stakes is the two-person Buggy, a side-by-side version of the ATV that allows for a passenger alongside the driver. Using the rugged Can Am Maverick buggy, it covers the same trails as the main ATV tour in similar guided fashion but is a great option for couples as well as mum or dad with junior in tow (must be 4ft tall and able to sit unaided).

Surf & Turf

Want to get the best of the land and water combo? Try this highlight experience with both an ATV and a Sea-Doo jet-ski on the 65-acre lake.

After your 4 x 4 rumble in the (almost) jungle, you get to take out one of these super-fun water craft behind a guide, following a prescribed route around the water course and soaking up the sights of this beautiful setting.

A passenger is allowed behind the driver (who must, again, be at least 16), as long as they are at least five and can sit upright unaided, while life-vests are provided for all participants, and must be worn at all times.

Non-Motorised Adventures

With so much wide open space to explore, it stands to reason this would be a good place to try out some alternative activities, and that is most definitely the case here.

The main lake is a true angler’s dream as it is stocked with trophy bass, and you can sign up for a full four-hour, fully equipped and licensed fishing expedition. It operates on a catch-and-release basis, but you WILL get the chance for a priceless photo with your prize catch before you have to return it to the lake.

Alternatively, raise your adrenalin levels with a real sporting challenge on the Clay Shooting range, with all safety equipment, shells and a double-barrelled shotgun provided. This is a keen – and competitive! – activity for all the family, and there are major bragging rights to be earned for those aged 16 and up.

Finally, archery is a rapidly growing sport; and you can try two different versions here, with both Target Shooting and Archery Tag on offer. Again, it is a terrific family choice and is available for everyone seven years old and up. A fully trained coach is on hand to supervise and offer tips, as well as to keep score (and you WILL want to keep score. Mini-golf? That’s for wimps!).

So, when you’re looking for adventure and excitement, just head for Revolution Adventures, and tell them Debbie’s Villas sent you.
