My wife, 17 yr old son and I just returned from the most exhilarating and beautiful ski tour with…read moreBrandon. The Beach Jet Ski operation is very smooth and in a great location on Clearwater beach. Brandon took us through the intercostal waterways at 30 mph ( when not in the no wake zones). He stopped and pointed out a baby dolphin that swam by us briefly. We rode past lovely mangrove covered island. He found a safe area for us the ride free for about 10-15 minutes. We zipped around and he took a bunch of photos of us. We finally ended up at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico at Hurricane pass. The waves were big and we jumped a few waves. Overall a complete blast! I highly recommend it.

We booked this as the last thing we did before getting on our plane. When you sign up, they are…read morevery clear about being on time and cancellation policies so pay attention to those. I was worried about the traffic backup on the Clearwater Memorial Causeway but we booked our appointment first thing in the morning for the two hour tour. This was an excellent decision as by the time we got out onto the water it was starting to get quite warm and you are required to wear a life jacket and so it can get hot. We brought flip flops but we stored them in the compartment in front and rode barefoot. Also, the Bay where you begin was like glass making it a lot of fun for experienced riders and brand new riders. The guide that we had was fantastic. He really wanted the new riders to be comfortable and the experienced riders to have some fun. He explained things very well. He allowed more experienced riders to ride in the back and do figure eights and other tricks while the new riders rode behind him. I am a small person (5'4 and 120 lbs) and didn't have any problem handling the jet ski on my own. I would recommend riding your own ski. If you want to do sight seeing tour, let your guide know. If you want a riding tour, let them know. They adapt it to what the group wants. The person with the most people in their group will decide what you do so keep that in mind. We did a little bit of a tour in the bay but then we headed to Caledesi Island where we saw a dolphin. If you want to see dolphins or wildlife I would recommend the first tour as they are more likely to be active during that time. Then we headed out into the ocean. We spent about 1 hour in the Bay and about 1 hour ocean riding. We stopped at one island and got a drink, took some pictures and collected some cool shells. Then we headed back. We didn't have any problem collecting our deposit. We let them know about getting back for our flight and we had no problems. If you follow their rules, there aren't any problems and everyone has a good time. Also, the Walgreens right next to their docking area has the best price on tourist Clearwater T-shirts if you're wanting to pick up some of those. If you're looking for more of an ocean riding experience, I would contact them and see if that would be available. If you want a nice mix of Bay riding, touring, ocean riding, island seeking then this is the tour for you.

We did a two-hour sunset cruise on the Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven yesterday, and it was…read moreabsolutely wonderful. The scenery alone was worth it, but what really made the experience special was Captain Sage. Her knowledge of the lakes, the area, and the wildlife was incredible, and the way she shared it made everything feel relaxed and engaging, not scripted or rushed. She has a great presence and genuinely loves what she does, which made the whole cruise even more enjoyable. I will ask for Captain Sage every single time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this experience, especially at sunset.

Last December my daughter and I stopped in at Snowcat Ridge to enjoy being in the snow. It is only…read more30 minutes west of Tampa. We used to live in Washington State where we were avid skiers and have missed playing in the snow! It is awesome that Florida has a fun place for Floridians to enjoy it also. They offer fun downhill snow tubeing as well as the Artic Igloo, where kids and adults can build snowmen and participate in other snow activities. Better bring gloves, jackets, and boots/sneakers along with you. It gets cold in there as well as on the slope. They are open all day. In the evening, magical lights are turned on while you are tubing or walking around. Did I mention that you can watch the sunset while tubing? Snowcat Ridge features real snow in its snow dome and on its snow tubing hill. The park uses a snow-making system to produce real snow from water. We bought our tickets online to save some money and time. My daughter paid for the VIP pass $160 to skip the long lines for tubing and to get a discount for parking. That pays for a 2 hour run. It takes about 15 seconds to slide down the hill. There is a moving platform that pulls you back up to the top or you can drag your tube up by yourself but it is on the heavy side. There are tubes for singles, doubles or family of 8. While online, you can pick your preferred time to tube. She picked 5:00-7:00 pm to watch the sunset and enjoy the lights. For the parents, there is plenty of seating so you can watch your kids snowtube. That's where I sat also, lol. I loved watching her be a kid and she was having a ball! There is a gift shop, the Artic Igloo where there is story telling for kids, places to sit, photo ops, a bubble machine, and a place for snow fights.. A food truck offers nachos, burgers, hot dogs and sodas. There is plenty to see and do if you can't snowtube. It's a fun day for everyone. The Alpine Village features a variety of outlets offering food, drinks, beer, wine, and shopping. Kids under are 2 are free. All box office tickets are $6 more than online. Check their web page for more details. We had a great time and would go again!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LAKE HOUSE! A few of my friends and I went on a mini-vacation and we decided…read moreto go to the lake house because we've heard such great things from other friends. It was definitely worth it! The house was fully equipped! I'll go ahead and begin my review Bedrooms (3) : Spacious and Clean comfortable enough to fit up to 6-8 people in the bedrooms depending on whether or not you mind sharing beds with people. But none the less the beds were cozy and big! Kitchen & Living room were conveniently attached fully equipped with stove, oven microwave and with a dining table fitting up to 6-7 people comfortably. It was attached to the living room which had a fire place and a variety of entertainment medias for your use. It was soo cute! Although it wasn't cold enough to use the fire place, it made me feel like I was in north carolina or in the woods somewhere. Made my trip seem more authentic and far away! Upstairs: Best part was the game room upstairs! Fully equipped with a pool table and the other table game thing, i can't remember what it was called lol. The only bad part is that there's no room to sleep upstairs, it's more of a game area. But i still loved it. Kept us thoroughly entertained most of the evening! Okay I lied, the best part of the house was definitely the patio that led out to the lake! GORGEOUS for watcing the sun rise and the sun set! There was a dock that led up to the lake which you can involve yourself in doing a variety of sports such as swimming, jet skiing and boat rowing! Although we didn't have time to do any of that stuff it was still nice to have it there available! I must say, it was out in the middle of no where, but that's the beauty of it, away from the cars, away from the noise, away from the city. It was serene and peaceful. This lake house is something you must look into if you're thinking about getting away. Look into it some more, don't just take my word for it! But definitely, we're coming back here again soon for future gatherings and get-aways.
