“Historical part of tour was well done, but took up a large portion of time. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. Food at first restaurant was great. Not great at the other two. Was looking forward to seeing the Colombia restaurant, but we did not get that option. The description for this tour said up to six food tastings (there were 4) and drink tastings (Only water with food and coffee at end).”

We are also able to skip any lines and go straight in (other than the security line). The aquarium had a lot to see and do. They have a splash pad and playground for kids as well.”

Soar over Tampa Bay on five zip lines, aerial obstacles, a suspension bridge, and a rappel in this guided two-hour adventure.

“Guide was awesome and so were our kayak companions. We though it would be a leisurly kayak down a super clear river. It was in a small bay with tons of other people in 6 different groups. Very tough to keep up w guide. Don't do it if you have weak upper body. Not relaxing at all. Beautiful day though. We saw one small manatee but 10 snorkelers surrounded it so I did not see.”
