With your own music playing and dolphins sometimes popping up nearby, you’ll soak up sun and laughter alongside locals and friends. Expect cold bottled water, plenty of room to dance or relax, and moments that stay with you long after you’re back on shore.Is it for me?You control the playlist, choose between sandbar lounging, bar-hopping, or cruising, and bring your own drinks—we provide the coolers and ice.
St. Pete: Party Bike Bar Crawl & Murals with Trolley PubYou’ll pedal through downtown St. Pete on a party bike with other travelers, stopping at lively bars and colorful murals while your guide shares stories and keeps things light. Expect music you can control, BYOB vibes (with a cooler onboard), and maybe even some friendly dogs at one of the breweries. It’s social without pressure—just enough adventure for an afternoon you’ll remember.
Miami Bay Yacht Rental: 37ft Sundancer Cruise with CaptainYou’ll board a private 37ft yacht in Miami River with your group and local captain, cruising past celebrity homes and skyline views. Play your own music via Bluetooth, cool off with drinks from the onboard cooler, and swim or float in Biscayne Bay if you choose the 4-hour option. It’s relaxed, personal—and gives you a whole new angle on Miami.
10,000 Islands: Dolphin & Shelling Boat Tour with NaturalistYou’ll ride a stable boat from Marco Island into the wild 10,000 Islands with a naturalist guide—spotting dolphins, learning about rare shells on untouched beaches, and feeling the quiet thrill of real Florida wilderness. Bring your curiosity (and maybe sunscreen)—this isn’t your usual crowded shelling trip.
Destin: Private Crab Island Pontoon Charter with Slide & RestroomYou’ll float out into Destin’s clear waters on your own private double-decker pontoon with slides and a real bathroom onboard. Your captain handles anchoring at Crab Island and setting up floats, so you can relax, play in the water, or just soak up sun with friends or family. Expect laughter, music drifting across the sandbar, and those little moments you don’t plan for but remember later.
Fort Lauderdale: Private Sprinter Party Bus Tour with ChauffeurYou’ll cruise Fort Lauderdale in a private luxury Sprinter party bus with your own chauffeur—no sharing with strangers. Expect cold drinks on ice, music, and stops at beaches or downtown spots you choose. Your local driver adds stories along the way. It’s easygoing but feels special—like seeing the city from your own moving lounge.
St Andrews Bay Dolphin & Snorkel Tour with Local CaptainYou’ll glide across St Andrews Bay with a local captain, spotting dolphins so close you can hear them breathe. Snorkel clear waters full of life, hunt for shells along sandy patches, and watch birds or even deer onshore—all with bottled water and gear included. It’s relaxed but surprising in small ways.
Destin Private Pontoon Boat Charter: Crab Island & Dolphin ToursA private pontoon boat charter in Destin accommodates up to 6 guests and includes a captain, paddle boards, snorkel equipment and a water slide. You choose the itinerary—Crab Island, dolphin watching, snorkeling, or a harbor tour—and the captain takes you there. The boat comes equipped with lily pads and floats for water play, and bottled water is provided throughout.Is it for me?Book this if your group is six people or fewer and wants a private boat where you choose between wildlife watching, water sports at Crab Island, or a mix—the captain customizes the route rather than following a set itinerary.
Downtown Tampa Ghost Tour: Haunted Buildings & Crime HistoryA walking tour of Downtown Tampa's most haunted buildings, led by a guide who shares stories of murder, tragedy and organized crime history. The tour includes ghost hunting equipment at no extra cost and visits five sites, some from the outside and one interior stop at a historic hotel where you meet the spirits who extended their stay. The walk takes around two hours and covers streets with ballast bricks over a century old, a 1926 theatre, an 1860 church, and a former luxury hotel that once hosted celebrities and mobsters alike.Is it for me?If you're staying downtown or relying on public transit, the tour starts in an accessible area with transportation options nearby, so you don't need a car to reach the first stop. The interior access to the historic hotel and the ghost hunting equipment mean you're not just walking past buildings—you're stepping inside and actively searching for the hauntings the guide describes.
Key Largo: Private Snorkel Tour & Reef Marine Life Limo RideYou’ll step right from a limo onto your private boat in Key Largo, skip the crowds entirely, and spend real time floating above reefs teeming with parrotfish and stingrays. With all your snorkel gear ready (and snacks waiting), you can just soak up that wild underwater world—and maybe laugh at yourself trying to use an underwater camera.
Naples Florida Electric Trike Tour: 90 Minutes, All AgesAn electric trike tour of Naples, Florida lasts 90 minutes and includes a live English-speaking guide who drives while you ride seated or standing. The route passes the Naples Fishing Pier (a community landmark since 1888), a 12-acre park with courts and a bandshell, and the historic district with the Palm Cottage museum. The trike's stable platform and simple controls make it accessible to riders from age 5 upward, including those with mobility concerns, so families and mixed-age groups can tour together without splitting up.Is it for me?The trike's sit-or-stand design and stable platform make this tour work for mixed-age groups and families where a standard walking tour or bus would leave someone behind—a 7-year-old and an 80-year-old can experience the same route together, comfortably and safely.
Kayaking Shell Key Preserve: Mangrove tunnels and wildlifeGuided kayaking tour of Shell Key Preserve near Tampa Bay, paddling through mangrove islands, seagrass flats and pristine beaches while looking for dolphins and manatees. The tour runs about three hours with a live English-speaking guide, double kayaks, all equipment provided, and a 30-minute beach stop at Shell Key itself. No paddling experience is required; the guide covers a waterproof overview before launch and discusses the preserve's ecosystem and history along the way.Is it for me?Book the clear kayak option if you want to see the seagrass and shallow bottom while you paddle; choose the standard sit-on-top if you prioritize stability and comfort on the water. Either way, the shallow depth and mangrove environment mean you're exploring a protected ecosystem rather than open bay, so wildlife sightings and the tunnels (when tides allow) are what set this preserve apart from deeper-water kayaking elsewhere in Tampa Bay.
Jupiter: Clear Kayak Eco Tour with Wildlife & Sandbar StopsYou’ll slip into a clear tandem kayak in Jupiter’s calm waterways with a local guide leading you past mangroves and sandbars. Watch for manatees, ospreys, pelicans—even tiny fish beneath your seat—while learning about this unique ecosystem. There’s time to wade on sandbars or just float quietly as sunlight dances below you. It’s peaceful in ways that stick with you after you leave.
Flamingo Everglades boat tour: Naturalist guide Whitewater BayA 90-minute boat tour through Flamingo Everglades National Park ventures up Buttonwood Canal through Coot Bay and Tarpon Creek into Whitewater Bay, with a naturalist guide narrating the plant and animal life and the area's history. Children are welcome from age 5; the boat has a restroom on board and is wheelchair accessible. Park admission ($35 per carload for US residents, $100 per person for international visitors) is paid separately at the gate.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a guide to explain what you're seeing as you move through the waterways—the wildlife, the plants and the history of Flamingo come into focus with someone narrating them rather than scanning the landscape on your own.
Islamorada: Waverunner Tour with Mangroves & Sandbar StopYou’ll ride a waverunner across open ocean, slip through tangled mangrove tunnels, and stop for a swim at Islamorada’s lively sandbar. With a local guide leading and all gear included, you’ll catch glimpses of marine life and maybe even share fruit with strangers — little moments you’ll remember long after you dry off.
Fort Myers sailboat tour: 2.5 hours aboard Orion's ChildA 2.5-hour sailing tour from Fort Myers aboard Orion's Child, a well-maintained sailboat operated by a husband-and-wife team since 2009. You depart Salty Sam's Marina, pass the shrimp boat fleet and waterfront homes, then raise the sails and cut the engine once in open water. The route takes you toward Fort Myers Beach and within sight of Sanibel Lighthouse, with chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles and birds. Parking is free; restrooms are on board. Children under 6 must wear a life vest; infants sit on an adult's lap. Shoes come off before boarding and are locked in a box.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to sail under canvas with the motor off, not motor-sail with sails as decoration. The husband-and-wife operation keeps the group small (maximum six), so you get a relaxed pace and a well-maintained boat—but departure is fixed regardless of traffic, and shoes stay locked in a box for the entire 2.5 hours.
Panama City Beach: Sunset Dolphin Cruise & BYOB Tiki BoatYou’ll step aboard the Big Kahuna in Panama City Beach and feel instantly at ease—BYOB in hand, music drifting over the lagoon as dolphins surface nearby. Watch the sunset paint the Gulf while friendly crew keep things light and comfortable (yes, there’s even a bathroom). This isn’t just another boat ride—it’s an evening you’ll carry home in small ways.
Pensacola: Private Party Bike Pub Crawl & BYOB Downtown TourYou’ll pedal your way through downtown Pensacola with your group on a private party bike pub crawl—bring your own drinks, choose your music, and laugh with friends as a local driver guides you to classic bars. Expect easygoing stops, friendly faces, and plenty of moments you’ll want to replay later.
Crystal River: 4 Hour Kayak Rental & Wildlife SpotsYou’ll slip into Crystal River’s gentle current in a single kayak—with paddle, life vest, and area map included—and find yourself scanning for manatees or otters as sunlight glints off the water. Expect small surprises: maybe an osprey overhead or friendly advice from locals at Pete’s Pier. It’s peaceful but never dull—you might leave still thinking about that hush between paddle strokes.
St Augustine: Dolphin Watch Sail & Harbor Cruise with DrinksYou’ll board a catamaran near Vilano Beach for a dolphin watch sail through St Augustine’s historic harbor. Spot playful bottlenose dolphins up close, listen to stories from your local guide, and enjoy complimentary drinks as you glide past city landmarks. There’s something quietly special about seeing dolphins with new friends under that shifting Florida sky.
