Beaches & Adventure Insider

Lauren Tjaden

Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.



Trespassers Will be Eaten: Gatorland Flick

August 08, 2010

Related Tags: Family, Outdoors & Nature, Orlando

You wouldn’t want to swim there.


Take a peek at the video I shot of the gator-infested-waters of Gatorland, and you’ll agree that’s the understatement of the century.


The Orlando attraction hosts fascinating shows throughout the day, boasts a petting zoo, a train you can ride, nature walks through the swamp, a breeding marsh and even a water park for the kids. I’d advise you to crawl over for some slithery fun before the next high tide.


Want more? Check out this video I shot of some of the shows there, including a gator wrestler holding a gator’s mouth open with his chin. Yes, really.
