    Three-hour cruise aboard a 50ft catamaran — scenic views, dolphin sightings, sunset at Outback Key, and Skyway Bridge light show on the return.

    I have experienced many beautiful sunsets in Florida, but the one from our cruise at Sand Dollar Sandbar last night was incredible. The Cruise Captain and the bar waitress were attentive and courteous to everyone onboard. The three-hour duration was ideal, and all seats provided great views.586adelaidac

  4. Glass-bottom kayak night tour with fish feeding in St. Pete Beach, St Petersburg7

    7. Glass-bottom kayak night tour with fish feeding in St. Pete Beach

    4.4· 422 reviews· 1.3 hours

    Two hours of kayaking on illuminated waters — an interactive night tour with fish feeding and seabird viewing at St. Pete Beach.

    We participated in the lighted night kayak on the first night of our spring break vacation. It's essential to dress warmly, as the evening breeze can be quite chilly. This experience was the highlight of our trip! We discovered fascinating facts about the area and were impressed by the quantity of fish visible under the bridge. It was a wonderful family outing we will always cherish. The guides provided plenty of information, and we never felt hurried. As newcomers to kayaking, we blended in perfectly and felt stable the entire time. Even if we had tipped, our life jackets kept us safe and warm in the cool temperatures. We launched from a ramp, ensuring our feet stayed dry. Just bring towels to cover your lap, as that was the only spot that got a bit wet from paddling.R7765WHheidid
