4. Loggerhead Lane (SeaWorld’s Aquatica)

Despite being one of Orlando’s more underrated theme parks, Aquatica sure does know a thing or two about putting a twist on an ol’ classic. As you dip into Loggerhead Lane’s crystal clear waters, you’re immediately met with copious amounts of shade - not only from the high trees and rocky theming that surrounds this beautiful river but also as you enter a stunning indoor cave that offers a peek into the habitat of hundreds of tropical fish. 

5. Wind-Away River (Discovery Cove)

When you think of Discovery Cove, you think of tranquility, so it’s unsurprising that they do it best when it comes to creating a truly peaceful experience. Think of the Wind-Away river as less of a lazy river and more of a tranquil lagoon, that is largely reminiscent of a rainforest environment in more ways than one. The most unique lazy-river experience you can find in Orlando, with not an inner tube in sight - the perfect excuse to take a day to cool off under the hot Florida sun. 

Wait, did you say lazy river? I thought you said crazy river! 

6. Volcano Bay’s TeAwa the Fearless River and Aquatica’s Roa’s Rapids

When the memo is cool-off, but definitely not slow-down, Volcano Bay and Aquatica have got you covered with their considerably more thrilling approaches to your standard lazy river. Life vests at the ready as you enter these rivers because just when you think you’ve got the hang of it, another choppy wave is already on its way to send you flying through its currents! Both Volcano Bay and Aquatica’s rapid rivers provide a hilarious experience that combines the concept of a white-water rapids ride with your standard lazy river attraction. One thing is for sure, these two are certainly among the more action-packed ways to cool off.

Which one of Orlando's many lazy rivers is your favorite? Will you be visiting any this summer?

Loved this article! It would be extravagantly expensive, but it would be an adventure to do all six in one day. They all look wonderful. I wonder if they have lazy rivers on any other planets. Sign me up.
