My wife and I were on a 2 week vacation in the Orlando area and decided to go to Busch Gardens, Tampa for the day. After finishing our activities there we placed a call to Speed Boat Adventures. It sounded like it would be fun so we booked a trip on the last scheduled tour of the day. This Adventure turned out to be the most enjoyable time we spent in Florida. We really enjoyed having our own small stable speed boat to follow the guide around Tampa Bay. During much of the tour we were skipping along the surface at a high rate of speed.... .Lots of FUN...just what we signed up for. Our tour guide was extremely helpful in conveying items of interest to other members of the tour via radio. If you come to the Tampa -St. Pete area I strongly suggest you partake in the activity.....you will enjoy every minute

My husband and I recently visited the St. Pete Beach area for our anniversary. While much of our trip was spent relaxing on the beach and enjoying the local restaurants and bars, we wanted to do one adventure/sight-seeing thing while there. We couldn't have made a better choice! We were the only ones that booked our specific time for the speed boat adventure, so essentially we got a private tour. It was a great way to see the sights of the Tampa Bay area. Cruising the canals was very relaxing and you can see lots of beautiful homes. And going full throttle out in the open areas is a thrill....I screamed and screamed at times when our boat caught air over the wakes of other large boats. We got to see the beautiful landscape and even spotted a couple of dolphins. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone in the St. Pete area! Our guide was fantastic!
