5.0Angler Management Sportfishing(581 reviews) - Awesome sport fishing experience for young and old. Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Fishing Charters & Tours
Just had a great trip with my 10yr old son and 70yr old father. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They were quick to move to a different fishing spot to ensure the experience never got boring or slow. My 10yr old (who spends way too much time playing video games) said it was one of the coolest experiences of his life! Priceless.See more..

5.0Gulf Coast Kayak(547 reviews) - Fun time kayak fishing Sunday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Eco Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours • Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
We had a great time out on the water today with our guide Forrest. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and put us on some sea trout. Brian was also great to work with, the kayaks were comfortable, stabile, and well equipped. I will definitely go with them again! They have rentals, guided fishing, eco trips, and sunset rides, with reasonable rates! Thanks for the fun outing!See more..
5.0Pirate Adventures of Cortez(498 reviews) - ARRR-MAZING...see what I did there? Sunday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Tours
Incredible! Don't hesitate to book, phenomenal in every way! The crew was fantastic, wish they were available to come babysit after the boat ride! We were a bit concerned our kids would lose interest at some point (because kids these days typically want their device after 20 minutes) but they never did. The crew was engaging and kept all of the kids entertained and laughing the WHOLE time. The main "pirate" was kind enough to include (but not be too pushy, you know the type...they only make things worse) the two younger girls that were too shy to participate at first. By halfway through they were up having a blast! My 6yr old's face was priceless. To say he loved it would be an understatement. It's perfectly timed, not too short, not too long. The crew really does a top notch job, bring cash to tip! One tip, bring a water bottle. The adults were sooo thirsty. (Our fault, too many hard seltzers the night before)See more..
5.0Giraffe Ranch(496 reviews) - A very different and exciting experience! Ranches
Go on a high-quality, guided safari on a working exotic game ranch in Tampa Bay, Florida.See more..
Captain Traci was fantastic! We had an early morning tour with our two boys, 3 and 7, and she also had her mom and sister on our tour. They were all very friendly and took pictures to share with us. Our kids were so excited but a little afraid to get in the water with the manatee but they were great at talking to them and showing them where to look while my husband and I were in the water. Such a great experience!See more..
5.0Largo Central Park(492 reviews) - A fun park Sunday: 5:30 AM - 11:00 PM Parks
So I visited this park solo. I would not recommend that as a woman, as there seem to be transient individuals at the park as well. It's well manicured and lots of nice statues. I would say the children's area is the best. It's gated off from the rest of the park. It has artificial turf and lots and lots of fun playground equipment. If I still had young children, I would take them there. There are small train tracks for a train that goes through that area. They also have the Kiwanis club in that area as well. A very nice stroll except for all the squirrels. There are older people who love to feed them peanuts so they are everywhere and run up to people, which can be unnerving and would cause your dog to go crazy or scare your child so strolling through the area might not be your cup of tea. I wouldn't have a picnic there due to all the people friendly squirrels in the area. See more..
This ride is my favorite! Definitely the best roller coaster at the disney world parks. If you like thrilling rides, this is a must. We went to Animal Kingdom on a busy day during a school break but the wait wasn’t bad. We waited about 40 minutes during the middle of the day, then went on again during the evening when the wait was only about 15-20 minutes. I love not just the ride, but the queue as well. There are many cool things to see while waiting in line. Expedition Everest is a Disney classic, if you’re at Animal Kingdom you need to go on this ride!See more..
This roller coaster was a blast. What was great about it is that it's a more "thrilling" roller coaster, but not so far extreme it's not enjoyable for all of us. I really enjoy "launch" roller coasters the most, so this is a great aspect of the ride. I'm sure the queuing video and music could use an update/refreshing, but it's still very enjoyable. Our teens liked it so much that they went back multiple times to ride it....and this coming from one who admits he's not a roller coaster fan!See more..
5.0Sea N Things, LLC(472 reviews) - Amazing 2 hour private boat excursion--saw dolphins and collected shells on a sandbar!!!! Sunday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Boat Tours
My mom and I drove from Universal in Orlando just for this private boat tour and to visit Indian Rocks Beach on 9/20/22 to celebrate my 40th birthday. This was AMAZING!!! Greg was very knowledgeable and had an upbeat and fun personality. He made us instantly feel welcome and it was a unique experience you would not get on a dolphin excursion with a group of 50. We had the option to do that and I am so glad I paid more for this personalized experience We saw dolphins within 10-15 minutes and Greg easily manuevered the boat around so we could get the best views. We also had a great time exploring the sandbar. Did you know sea urchins wear other shells on their heads as hats? Seriously worth the extra money and I can not say enough nice things about Greg. We will always treasure these memories and it was definitely a highlight on our vacation!!!! Definitely book a trip with Greg!!! If we are ever back in Florida we will do the same!See more..

5.0Pura Vida Divers(440 reviews) - Two Day Blast With Pura Vida Divers! Sunday: 7:00 AM - 6:30 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Water Sports • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Self-Guided Tours & Rentals • Photography Tours
Wendy and I dove two days with Pura Vida Divers using Mike on day one as a guide at the Blue Herron Bridge and Suzie as a guide for a two tank ocean dive on day two. Of course BHB did not fail to disappoint and Mike made sure we got to find plenty of critters to photograph. The ocean dives were both drift dives and Suzie did an outstanding job making sure we were set and ready to go and of course getting us to the Goliath Groupers on the dive sites. Again both Mike and Suzie were excellent dive guides and would recommend them both in the future. I cannot remember the names of the rest of the boat crew but under the direction of Capt Dean we could not have had better care and service from load on/off of the boat, the cleanliness of the bot and the briefings, we were always safe and well informed. Capt Dean did an excellent job with the drift dives and made those two dives a very cool experience. Thanks again to Pura Vida Divers and all of their staff we look forward to a return trip!!See more..

Captain Mark is an excellent guide and fisherman! On our trip out today, we went out to a remote area and caught fish after fish. He was not only able to keep bait on our hooks but was able to tell us the fish types and point out other wildlife. Mostly, we were grateful today for his kindness and care of my Dad & Mom. He was great with them & we all had a great time! Highly recommendSee more..

We found this wonderful park while visiting Daytona Beach and so glad we did. It was raining and yet people were out with family, enjoying the view in between the raindrops. Covered pavilions, seating, grills and bathrooms that are clean nearby. A water park for the little ones or even just to walk in and cool off. This is a great find and we will be back on a sunny day soon. Great parking and also food to purchase on site. Can’t wait to come back.See more..

5.0Blue Heaven River Tours(398 reviews) - Amazing experience with the manatees Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Boat Tours • Private Tours • Dolphin & Whale Watching • Nature & Wildlife Tours
We did the 3 hour Manatee tour with Captain Ron and it was amazing! We got to swim with and pet lots of manatees. We were in the perfect spot...they just kept coming. We even saw some dolphins and monkeys right when we got on the boat. Captain Ron did a great job instructing us on where and how to swim up to the manatees so we wouldn't scare them away. The tips were great and listening sure paid off! This was an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend it. And Captain Wyn was so patient with answering all of my questions when booking. He even talked us out of spending the extra money on a stand-up paddleboard, knowing we wouldn't have enough time to use it. Thanks for saving us the extra $50! This tour will give long lasting memories!See more..
5.0Aspirations Winery(393 reviews) - What a great out of the way spot to find great wine Sunday: 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Wineries & Vineyards

5.0Philippe Park(387 reviews) - Temple Mound Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Parks
An historical site and park containing an ancient ceremonial mound from the area's sizeable Native American settlement.See more..
We had our family visiting and wanted a fun and different experience for them. We found Suncoast online and booked a 2 hour Dolphin Tour thinking that would be all the kid (ages 12 & 8) could handle. It turns out we could have stayed out all day. Captain Cary was fantastic at not only captaining the boat but finding and attracting the dolphins and keeping us all entertained with facts about the wildlife and surrounding area. Would highly recommend this adventure for "kids" of all ages.See more..
5.0Jupiter Water Tours(377 reviews) - Totally worth it Sunday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Boat Tours • Private Tours
So we booked this rour last minute since another tour we were on was canceled because of the weather. It was an amazing 2 hours. Jenine was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the mansion on Jupiter island. Captain Colin kept us on track and it wasn't a bumpy ride even though it was super windy. We definitely learned a lot and will be doing this again next time we're in town. If you're not a wind person I recommend sitting under the captains perch because it's mostly closed in. You can walk to the front of the boat and stand for the tour if you would like and still hear the tour guide. If that's not your thing there are plenty of seats. They provide drinks, no alcohol, and snack so that was nice to hand. I highly recommend the 4pm Jupiter Island tour.See more..
5.0Key Life Charters(375 reviews) - Can’t wait to come back! Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Boat Tours • Water Sports • Sightseeing Tours • Dolphin & Whale Watching
A group of 5 of us booked a 4 hour charter for a 30th birthday celebration. Our entire experience was wonderful! We arranged transportation with Donna which is great if you don’t have a car or want to worry about driving. But I think the best part was captain Matt! He was very friendly and polite. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Water, ice, and light snacks were provided. He took us on a scenic route, pointing out different homes and wildlife along the way. We ended up seeing quite a few dolphins! Then we stopped at a sandbar where we were able to get out and swim. He also took us to a bar & grill on the water for a quick drink before heading back. Matt played great music for us and hyped us up the whole time! He took all kinds of group photos for us which turned out great. We spent 4 days in Siesta Key and this was our favorite part about the trip!See more..
We had a wonderful experience with our group of 8- 4 adults and 4 kids and would highly recommend Cortez Watersports! John was helpful and knowledgeable and gave us the tips on where to go to see dolphins, sand dollars, sandbar etc! Pontoon came with kid kayak and we enjoyed our experience immensely! We will be back!See more..
5.0Bear Creek Feline Center(372 reviews) - EDUCATIONAL & AMAZING Sunday: Spent 2-3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas
We really weren’t sure what to expect but this was a wonderful experience among some of God’s beautiful creations. You get up close and personal with all the cats and can even feed and kiss, yes kiss, a serval!!! The staff are great and provide a lot of info about the many different types of feline they care for. A golf cart is available for those with mobility issues so don’t let this keep you from this once on a lifetime over three hour experience. A photographer will record your interactions with the cats and a thumb drive of your pics is included as a souvenir. Well worth the price to tour and they are only done three days a week currently. A call ahead for a reservation is a REQUIREMENT as adequate licensed staff must be present for tours. Numbers per tour are limited to small groups and only one tour on each of the three day is done so as to limit stress on these majestic creatures! Don’t leave the area without experiencing these beauties!See more..

5.0Blue Heron Drift Fishing(361 reviews) - That was a really big shark Sunday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
This was my third trip out this year. While Kyle, Solomon and the rest of the crew are working their butts off I have yet to catch a fish (okay there was that Remora) the new guy Solomon is a great kid and an asset to the crew of the Blue Huron II. I had a problem with my own reel and he helped me fix it while the boat was moving to another fishing spot. Thank you for the help Solomon. It’s a 30 mile drive for me to go up to Jupiter for this boat but it gets to the fishing spots quicker and that’s what it’s all about after all.See more..
Today we closed out our week vacation here in Florida by going on the snorkeling, dolphin and shelling cruise. Captain Brian made it extra special with his knowledge of the area, interaction with the dolphins and calm personality. I'd request him over and over again!See more..
5.0Everglades Boat Tours(345 reviews) - Great location, great giude, nice folks all-around. Boat Tours
My wife and I took the 3 1/2 hour eco-tour by boat with our son and his fiancee, which included a couple of stops at shoals and beaches to walk around. Capt. Dan was a great guide with deep knowledge of the wildlife in the area and a willingness to share. He clearly knew some very good spots, even mid-day in a period where wildlife might be scarce. We certainly got our fill. In addition, his knowledge of local history and his perspective as a "northern emigree" made for some fun conversations on the boat between sites. Small group meant he had time for all of us. It was a wonderful morning out and we recommend it highly,See more..
5.0Epcot Divequest(333 reviews) - Highlight of my Disneyworld trip three times running Temporarily closed - Closed until further notice Scuba & Snorkelling
Are you certified to dive? Would you like to try something different at Disney world? Do you want to have the chance to swim with sea creatures that people would go out of air trying to photograph in the wild? I have done this dive three times now and can't recommend it enough. It is the highlight of my Disney trips. All gear and wildlife are provided. Tips: 1. Bring your own mask. Not required but why risk having a bad dive due to an ill fitting mask? 2. If your family is at the aquarium at the same time, you can get video of you inside the tank and them on the outside. 3. A video of the dive is for sale after the dive (it is Disney world after all). Dive cameras aren't allowed. If your family is at the aquarium have them shoot some video or take pictures of you in the tank.See more..
5.0Cruisin’ Tikis West Palm Beach(327 reviews) - Best part of our honeymoon! Sunday: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Boat Tours • Private Tours
This was the highlight of our honeymoon to West Palm Beach. Captain Ryan was courteous, thoughtful, and very knowledgable of the area. He really made us feel at home. The experience was quite private, relaxing, and I loved that we could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sunset. This is definitely a "must do" when visiting the area! This is the best private tour of the inter-coastal waterways.See more..

Used Prestige/FG for airport transfers for our large group (15) with several children, including young ones who needed car seats. They were prompt and easy to book with. Clean car. Will definitely use them again on our next trip to South FloridaSee more..
5.0Woody's Watersports(315 reviews) - THE ONLY place to rent. Sunday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Waterskiing & Jetskiing
Woody's has a great reputation in John's Pass. They have new equipment every year and they're not cheap cr@p. Theyre high power, all the way out fun machines. 1-3 people can have a great time on one ski, but i recommend everyone get their own, so they can go at their own pace. I live here and EVERY time I have visitors (I get lots), I bring them to Woody's. Everyone always has a blast and even first timers pick it up quickly and by the time we hit the bridge, they're pros. Their staff is 100% respectable and professional. Other places on the boardwalk, not so much. Woody's won't let you leave unless you're comfortable enough to get out there and have some fun. Out of the dozens of people I've brought to Woody's, not a single one has had a complaint. Every one of them comes back wide eyed and wanting MORE! I promise you this is a top quality place and you'll see why I ONLY recommend my family and friends to these fine people!See more..
The highlight of my girls trip to Fort Lauderdale was this food tour! Instructions to the meeting place were clear, the tour started on time and our tour guide was outstanding. Our tour guide, Howie, was extremely personable and eager to make sure each participant enjoyed his/her experience. He was very knowledgeable about Fort Lauderdale information and had confirmed that all of his facts were verified. We visited five different restaurants beginning with a breakfast of Belgian waffles and tahini granola and continued to a Mexican restaurant, Argentinian restaurant, American restaurant where we had chicken sliders and fries and concluded with a dessert of donuts. Generous pours of alcoholic choices were offered at three of the locations. Howie also took several group photos and sent to the group afterward. Highly recommended!See more..
5.0Daytona Beach Parasail(312 reviews) - Highly recommend & I will be sailing again! Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Parasailing & Paragliding
Booked this excursion for my boyfriend’s 29th birthday . The front desk staff was so helpful and friendly. The experience was great from the moment Nick and Brian helped us all step on the boat . There were 2 other couples there who had great energy, but Nick and Brian had great energy and lots of jokes that helped everyone’s nerves and anxiety melt away . If there were 5 other parasailing businesses in the same area and for a bit less money, I would still choose DBP with their crew/staff . See more..

5.0South Florida Paddle(306 reviews) - Took advantage of the weekday rental special and had a morning full of marine life in paradise! Sunday: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Eco Tours • Night Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Stand Up Paddleboarding
Another amazing paddle board trip with South Florida Paddle. We took advantage of the weekday rental special 4 hours for 30 dollars. Can't beat that! Marissa explained to us the conditions before heading out she also told us where to look for marine life. We first headed out under the bridge to the sandbar. We spotted so many sea turtles, a stingray and manatees! The water was crystal clear and the perfect spot to chill out. Being that it was a weekday the boat traffic was minimum and it was actually very quiet. We still had remaining time and decided to head over to Fullerton island. Upon arrival back in Marissa was there to collect the gear and showed us a hose to clean our feet. Thanks for always taking good care of us!See more..
I would recommend this eco tour on the Homosassa River or any of their tours offered. We had the boat to ourselves and Rick was our captain. He was very knowledgeable, polite and responsive to our requests during the tour. We had visitors from the north and they thoroughly enjoyed it; including a 15-year-old teenager! Luckily, the weather was perfect for a late December day and we learned a lot about the river, it's history and the Homosassa area. We were also given discount tickets to the Homosassa Wildlife Refuge Center (state park) which we visited afterwards and enjoyed very much. I would also like to comment on the office personnel. I had to add another person after having booked 4 of us originally and was able to add one more person without a hitch. The woman I spoke with was polite, professional and easy to deal with. Hats off to Rick and staff for a VERY enjoyable river ride and for making our day one of the best. Denise/Mike and guestsSee more..
