Clearwater Beach: Floating Tiki Bar Cruise & Dolphin SpottingYou bring your own drinks and snacks, the boat provides a USCG-certified captain, cooler with ice, and Bluetooth speaker. Cruise around Clearwater Beach and the Gulf of Mexico, watch for dolphins and manatees, and take in views of the harbor and waterfront homes. No land bar markup, no fixed menu—just a floating tiki bar on your terms.Is it for me?Right for anyone who wants to spend a few hours on the water without paying bar prices—bring your own drinks, your own playlist, and let the captain handle the navigation while you watch for dolphins and manatees.
Fort Myers Beach Sunset Cruise: Dolphins and Gulf ViewsA 90-minute sunset cruise on Fort Myers Beach where you glide through calm Gulf waters past Bowditch Point Park and the Sanibel Lighthouse, with a crew sharing insights about local wildlife and the coastal ecosystem. Complimentary soda and bottled water are included; infants sit on an adult's lap. Dolphin sightings are common but not guaranteed.Is it for me?Most sunset cruises here stop at the same two or three spots and call it done. This one keeps moving through four different zones—the park, the causeway, the lighthouse, and the dolphin grounds—so you're watching something change the whole time.
Marco Island: Ten Thousand Islands Jet Ski Eco TourYou’ll ride jet skis deep into Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands with a local guide leading the way from Marco Island. Expect wildlife sightings, salty breezes, and plenty of laughs along 30 miles of hidden waterways. With all safety briefings included before you start, this is for anyone who wants to feel Florida’s wild side up close — even if your hair gets messy.
Destin: Crab Island Tiki Boat 3-Hour Trip & SandbarYou board a tiki boat in Destin, cruise three hours to Crab Island's shallow sandbar, and spend time wading and swimming in turquoise water while the captain stays with your group. Bottled water and an onboard restroom are included, so you can stay comfortable the whole time.Is it for me?Right for anyone in Destin wanting a few hours on the water without planning—the boat handles the route and timing, and the shallow sandbar means you can swim or just stand around without worrying about depth. Plan for a full morning or afternoon out; that's what the three hours covers.
Sunset Dolphin Cruise Destin: 2-Hour Emerald Coast TourA two-hour guided sunset cruise on the Emerald Coast in Destin where you search for dolphins, sharks and other marine life with Captain Daniel, a live English-speaking guide. The boat carries USCG-approved lifejackets for adults and children, a toilet and washing sink onboard, and lets kids steer while parents relax. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; service animals are welcome.Is it for me?Book this cruise if you want your kids to have a hands-on moment—they steer while you watch the dolphins and the sunset. The two-hour window fits an afternoon or evening without dominating your whole day in Destin.
Orlando: Indoor Tactical Adventure & Realistic Mission ScenariosYou’ll dive into six immersive missions at Orlando’s only indoor tactical theme park—think movie-style sets, real instructors guiding your every move, and gear that feels legit (but safe). From home invasions to mall showdowns, every scenario keeps you on your toes—and ends with laughs and food at their sports bar. If you want action that feels real without any actual danger, this is it.
Marco Island: 2-Seat Cat Boat Tour & Mangrove TunnelsYou’ll drive your own two-seat cat boat along Marco Island’s wild waterways with a local guide leading the way. Cruise through quiet mangrove tunnels, spot dolphins or manatees up close, then speed across open water before stopping at a private island for shelling or swimming. Expect laughter, salty air, some surprises — and free photos to remember it all by.
Miami: Night Kayak Tour with LED Lights & City SkylineYou’ll glide through downtown Miami at night in an LED-lit kayak or paddle board, surrounded by skyscraper reflections and local stories from your guide. Expect bottled water or Gatorade along the way, plus plenty of time to soak up the city’s energy from the quiet of the river—it’s a side of Miami most people never see.
Panama City Beach: Dolphin Sightseeing Tour near Shell IslandYou board a stable pontoon at Lighthouse Marina and spend ninety minutes drifting through St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, watching for bottlenose dolphins and other coastal wildlife. Groups stay small (up to 18), sightlines are unobstructed, and water is provided. No restrooms on board, so use the marina facilities before departure.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see dolphins in their natural habitat without a long drive inland or a crowded tour boat. The 1.5-hour window is short enough to fit into a beach day, and the stable pontoon works for families and mixed fitness levels—just plan for no restrooms on board.
Tarpon Springs: Clear Kayak Manatee Tour & Sponge DocksYou paddle a transparent kayak across the Anclote River and through Tarpon Springs' bayous, stopping at a mangrove island to spot birds and crabs, learning the history of the Sponge Docks along the way. The main event is Spring Bayou, where manatees surface during winter months. Your guide handles the route and timing; you bring moderate paddling fitness and patience for wildlife that may or may not appear. Includes kayak, paddle, life jacket, dry bag, and guide—just show up ready to paddle.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see manatees in their winter habitat without arranging your own boat or guide—the clear kayak and the guide's knowledge of where manatees surface are what make a sighting possible in a few hours on the water.
St Augustine: Sunset Boat Tour with Fort & Lighthouse ViewsYou’ll drift along St Augustine’s waterfront as sunset colors hit Castillo de San Marcos and the Lighthouse, with a local guide sharing stories and maybe even a dolphin sighting if luck’s on your side.

Key West: Sunset Sail Cruise on Schooner Jolly II RoverYou’ll join a small group aboard Key West’s famous schooner for a true sunset sail cruise—helping raise sails, steering if you want, firing real cannons (seriously!), and gliding past mansions and historic forts with snacks and water included.

Anna Maria Island Kayaking: Clear Bottom Glass KayakA 1 hour 15 minute glass bottom clear kayak tour on Anna Maria Island where you paddle a fully transparent kayak and watch for manatees, dolphins, conch and starfish in the water beneath you. Kayaks are tandem unless you request solo, and a live guide leads the slow, easy paddle. Arrive 15 minutes early for the mandatory safety briefing; the tour launches from Kingfish Boat Ramp next to the "Welcome to AMI" sign.Is it for me?The tour launches from a public boat ramp on Anna Maria Island itself, so you don't need a car to get there — public transportation reaches the area, and the parking and launch happen at the same spot. If you're staying on the island or nearby without a rental, this is how you get on the water.
Miami: Salsa & Bachata Night with Mojitos, Bites & Club EntryYou’ll laugh your way through beginner salsa and bachata lessons in Miami Beach’s iconic Mango’s lounge, sip a fresh mojito, snack on Latin bites, then dance late into the night with live music and a local crowd.

Orlando & Kissimmee: Private Helicopter Tour Over Fun SpotYou’ll climb into a private helicopter for a short but unforgettable flight above Orlando and Kissimmee—no sharing seats or windows with strangers.

Sail & Splash Fort Lauderdale: Water Trampoline & CatamaranSail & Splash is a three-and-a-half-hour catamaran excursion from Fort Lauderdale that combines sailing, swimming and water play.

The guide speaks English and Spanish; beverages are served onboard.Is it for me?The pace keeps moving between sailing, mansion views and water activities, so you're active in and out of the water for most of the three and a half hours—best for people who want to swim and play, not for those looking to sit and relax the whole time.
