This is the shortlist we would hand a friend: 6 florida gulf coast tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Clear kayak tour from Tierra Verde to Shell Key Preserve with photo stops, wildlife spotting, and a sandy break in about 2 hours.
“We went on your with Jesse, he is very knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife. Definitely recommend”
Ride the Little Toot tugboat from Clearwater Beach on a narrated dolphin cruise in the Gulf, chasing pods with a big wake.
“Everyone who works there (even those not on the boat) couldn’t have been any kinder & helpful. The captain & I believe her name is Sherry were a joy to be with. They were very informative and entertaining. The trip was wonderful & it brought tears to a couple of us in our group seeing the dolphins jump & play . Oh and the music was great too! A friend recommended Little Toot to me and I will for sure recommend to others.”
Guided mangrove tunnel kayak in Sarasota’s Lido Key, 2 hours on calm water. Life jacket and paddle included, solo or tandem options.
“This was a fantastic experience. Ian was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Due to a tip he got, we were able to paddle over and see some manatees. That was so exciting! We really enjoyed kayaking around the mangroves and discovering the area. Thanks!”
A 90-minute Clearwater dolphin boat trip to Compass Island for shell hunting and swimming, with captain narration and a real wildlife vibe.
“The girls taking us out were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a beautiful day and maybe a bit rough but so well worth it.”
Paddle Fort Myers waterways on a board built for close wildlife watching, plus a beach shell stop. Equipment included, 2 hours.
“This was a great experience! The SUP's we used were really nice and Eric was a fun and knowledgeable guide. He did a great job managing the different skill and experience levels of the group. We saw 3 different Manatees and 2 dolphins saw right by us.”
3-hour St. Pete sunset cruise with shelling on Sand Dollar Island and the $15M Skyway Light Show, plus onboard drinks.
“This was a birthday celebration for a longtime friend. There were three of us and we had a wonderful time. The sunset was beautiful and the Skyway lights were spectacular! Captain Paul and First Mate Gavin made the experience very memorable. Would definitely do it again.”
