The experience

The tour starts at Flora Wylie Park, where the Sundial and Coffee Pot Bayou are your first stops. This is where dolphins and manatees show up regularly. From there you ride to the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum, a 2-acre park with over 500 palms and cycads from around the world, then past the sculpture "Truth" and views of the historic Vinoy Hotel and the pier. The guide points out the banyan trees native to India and explains how the original St Pete Pier, built in 1889 for the railroad and fishermen, has been rebuilt seven times since then.

You'll ride past the Salvador Dalí Museum after hours so you can see the building lit up, then stop at Pioneer Park to learn about St Petersburg's founders. Albert Whitted Park comes next: the guide covers the airport's history and points out the Hangar restaurant where you can watch planes take off. The route follows the Pinellas Trail, passing the stadium and other historic buildings. The 20-minute coffee break happens along the way, giving you time to rest and take in the scenery before the final stretch.

E-bikes handle the pedaling work, so fitness level doesn't determine whether you can finish the day. The tour runs 2.5 hours total and works for anyone 13 and up. An English-speaking guide leads the whole route and explains what you're seeing at each stop.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years). Children under 13 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the deal with Coffee Pot Bayou, will I actually see dolphins and manatees?

Coffee Pot Bayou at Flora Wylie Park is known for dolphins and manatees swimming in the water, and the tour starts there, so you have a good chance of spotting them. The guide will point out where to look.

How does an e-bike work, and do I need to know how to ride one?

An e-bike has a motor that helps you pedal, so you control the speed and effort but the bike does much of the work. If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an e-bike. The motor just makes it easier, especially in heat or on longer stretches.

Is there time to stop and look around, or is it mostly riding?

The tour includes a 20-minute coffee break and stops at multiple parks and landmarks (Flora Wylie Park, the Palm Arboretum, North Straub Park, Pioneer Park and Albert Whitted Park), so you spend time at each place learning about it, not just riding past.

What if I'm not in great shape? Can I still do this?

The tour is suitable for all fitness levels because the e-bike handles the pedaling work. You control how much effort you put in, and the motor helps with the rest.

Will I see the inside of the Dali Museum?

You ride past the Salvador Dalí Museum after hours and see the building lit up, but the tour doesn't include entry to the museum itself. It's a ride-by to see the architecture and lights.

How hot does it get, and will I be uncomfortable on the bike?

St Petersburg is warm, but the tour runs 2.5 hours with a coffee break built in, and the e-bike means you're not working hard enough to overheat. The waterfront route has shade in some spots and open views in others.
