Manatee season in Tarpon Springs: paddle a clear kayak through Anclote River and Spring Bayou for wildlife and Sponge Docks stories.
“Our guides, Ben and Raven, were very personable and informative. Our group was guided to an area where we saw quite a few manatees in their natural habitat.”
Private 4-hour Platinum Funship cruise from Dunedin to barrier islands, with likely dolphins, optional swimming, and custom captain-led timing.
“An amazing outing! The boat service made it easy to enjoy the beauty of nature while spending quality time with family. Everything was smooth, relaxing, and unforgettable.”
A two-hour Tarpon Springs guided kayak eco tour through mangroves, with wildlife expert guides, included gear, and chances to spot dolphins and stingrays.
“Very wonderful. Julie was an excellent tour guide. We saw dolphins, manatees and an eagle among other species.”
Clear kayak on the Anclote River from Tarpon Springs. Paddle mangrove channels, spot wildlife, and see sponge docks up close for $69.
“We had a lot of fun with Jessie. He was a great guide and had a lot of knowledge. We would definitely take another trip with him.”
Pedal through Dunedin on a 3-hour, $65 small-group tour with landmark stops, a WWII amphibious tank, and sunset views.
“Enjoyed Hammock Park and the Chapel, seeing historic homes and structures and learning the history of the area.”
Paddle Tampa Bay area mangroves in a small group to spot manatees and glide past Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks for free.
“Julie was an awesome guide. She is very knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as the local history. We were fortunate enough to see several dolphins and a herd of manatees! She explained that the manatees were mating and it was so cool to see the 1,000 pound creatures breach out of the water! I was concerned whether this would be too strenuous for me, but it wasn’t too difficult.”
Downtown Dunedin food and drink walking tour with brunch, lunch, tastings, adult beverages, and St. Joseph Sound views across 8 stops.
“My husband Jack and I thoroughly enjoyed this intimate food tour. Our guide Alex was simply amazing!!! He did a terrific job of combing food and history! He was simply satisfied our tastebuds and our thirst for local history. He was a memorable time. We highly recommend this food walking tour. It is worth every penny! (I loved all the stops) Iberian Imports was lovely. The views at Bon Appetit was magnificient!”
Tarpon Springs Ghost Tour near Clearwater: a 90-minute small-group walk with local stories, paranormal gear like a spirit box, led by Ace, $40.
“We were really looking forward to a fun, spooky evening on Halloween, but unfortunately the tour didn’t quite meet our expectations. It leaned much more toward a history talk than a true paranormal experience, and there wasn’t much in the way of ghost hunting or investigation. The guide seemed kind, but he spent quite a bit of time talking about his own experiences and insecurities, which made it a little hard to stay engaged. My husband even decided to head out partway through. We do appreciate the effort and passion that goes into organizing something like this, but overall it just wasn’t as exciting or interactive as we’d hoped for.”
Fly a private helicopter over Tarpon Springs sponge docks, Clearwater Beach, Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, and reefs in about 30 minutes.
“It was so great my husband even got to sit in the front of the helicopter and he enjoyed it the most”
Tarpon Springs scavenger hunt from the Sponge Docks to the aquarium, guided by a live remote host via your smartphone.
“This was not what the family was expecting. We opened the instructions and immediately let them know this and we wouldn’t participate. I let them know when I booked, we had one family member with limited mobility, it was a lot of walking. You have to find buildings, watch a sponge video and other activities an 8 and 10 year old had zero interest in. They offered a credit that I’ll never use. Don’t waste your money.”
Rent an e-bike in Dunedin for a 4-hour Pinellas Trail ride to Caladesi Island, with helmet, lock, water, and adjustable assist.
“Staff extremely nice. Easy reservations and the trail is right there. So much fun. 25 miles flew by fast.”
