Private Boat: Island Cruise and Dolphins

🐠 Water Activities

Private Boat: Island Cruise and Dolphins

When Noah from our team booked this private boat cruise around Tampa Bay, we got a captain who knows the waterways inside out. Over two hours, you're exploring the island system with options to jump in for a swim, tow behind on a tube, or just beach it on the sand. The crew supplies snorkelling gear and tubes, so you're set for water play. It's a relaxed, flexible vibe — Captain Tyler reads the conditions and your group's energy, moving between spots where dolphins often show. Good for families, keen swimmers, and anyone after a straightforward island escape without the tour-bus crowd.

Balboa Park Electric Scooter Tour with Pictures

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Balboa Park Electric Scooter Tour with Pictures

When Jake from our BugBitten team tried this Balboa Park scooter tour, he covered the sprawling San Diego institution in 90 minutes without breaking a sweat — literally, since you're on wheels the whole time. The park itself is a proper cultural pocket: museums, gardens, and heritage buildings scattered across 1,200 acres that'd take hours to walk. This tour zips you past the Botanical Building's lily pond, the Spanish Village Arts Center, that massive Morton Bay Fig Tree, El Prado's fountain-lined drag, and the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Photos included at each stop. It's San Diego's answer to seeing a lot without the leg work.

1h 30mfrom AUD $106

Group Surf Lesson with Videos and Photos

🐠 Water Activities

Group Surf Lesson with Videos and Photos

When Ben from our team tried this surf lesson in Hawaii, we got kitted out with board, leash, rash guard, and shoes, then spent an hour in the water with a certified instructor who actually knew their stuff. It's a straightforward, no-fuss introduction to catching waves—the kind of place where safety credentials matter and they back it up. You'll get photos and video sent over afterwards, which beats trying to get decent shots yourself while paddling about.

1 hourfrom AUD $184

Deluxe Day Sail in San Diego

🐠 Water Activities

Deluxe Day Sail in San Diego

When Jake from our team booked this 2.5-hour sail out of San Diego Bay, he was after something a bit different from the standard tourist boat experience. This outfit runs smaller groups across the bay's blue-green water with a crew that actually knows their stuff and talks through what you're seeing rather than just pointing. The vibe skews relaxed—there's decent shade on the boat, cold drinks on tap, and enough breeze to keep you comfortable even on hot days. It's the kind of tour where you're genuinely sailing, not just being ferried around.

2h 30mfrom AUD $168

Private Guided Hike through Peekaboo Slot Canyon

🌿 Nature & Wildlife

Private Guided Hike through Peekaboo Slot Canyon

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this private hike, Peekaboo Slot Canyon felt genuinely tucked away—a narrow sandstone corridor just outside Kanab that doesn't get the foot traffic of its flashier cousins. Two to three hours of walking through layered, rust-coloured rock formations that've been carved over millions of years. The vibe is quiet, almost meditative, and the guide knows the backcountry well enough to get you there smoothly. It's the kind of place that rewards showing up early and moving slowly.

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $275

Guided Scuba Dive in Lahaina: Certified

🐠 Water Activities

Guided Scuba Dive in Lahaina: Certified

When Noah from our team ran this Lahaina scuba dive, it was straightforward and well-managed. You're in Maui's best-kept diving neighbourhood — warm, clear water year-round, and reef access metres from the beach. The two-hour guided dive is cert-card-only (no beginners), small groups, and all gear supplied. Winter brings humpback whale songs; turtles show up most dives. The whole operation feels low-stress and built for divers who want to actually get wet without the admin headache.

2 hoursfrom AUD $267

Private French Quarter & Garden District Tour: Walk and Drive Combo

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Private French Quarter & Garden District Tour: Walk and Drive Combo

When Jake from our BugBitten team ran this private tour, he got a solid three-hour snapshot of New Orleans' two most storied neighbourhoods without the usual crowds. You start in the French Quarter — narrow streets, colonial architecture, the bones of the city's multicultural past — then hop in a minivan and head upriver to the Garden District's oak-lined avenues and antebellum mansions. The combo works because you see both sides: the dense, chaotic birthplace and the sprawling wealth that followed. A guide walks you through the geography and history while you're on foot in spots like Jackson Square and outside Lafayette Cemetery, where the tour riffs on the city's famous above-ground burial culture.

3 hoursfrom AUD $636

Guided Glow LED Kayak Sunset Activity in Bonita Springs

🐠 Water Activities

Guided Glow LED Kayak Sunset Activity in Bonita Springs

When Em from our team tried this LED kayak tour out of Bonita Springs, we pedalled through mangrove tunnels at dusk watching for dolphins and manatees, then glided back under neon glow as the sun dropped. The Hobie Mirage kayaks do the heavy lifting — you can pedal or paddle at your own pace — which meant we actually covered proper distance without killing ourselves. Southwest Florida's sunset light was genuinely stunning, and the LED system transformed the return trip into something properly theatrical. Two and a half hours, small group, feels more adventure than standard paddling.

2h 30mfrom AUD $134

Inshore Fishing Charter

🐠 Water Activities

Inshore Fishing Charter

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this eight-hour Charleston fishing charter, she got the real deal: a tight operation run by a former US Fishing Team captain who actually knows how to read the water and land fish. The boat heads into inshore spots around Charleston, a working port city where fishing culture runs deep—you're out with locals and visitors who take this seriously, not a party cruise. All gear, licences, and water are sorted; you're mainly paying for the captain's expertise and a legit shot at catching dinner.

8 hoursfrom AUD $459

Aerial Tram and Wildlife Center tour from Anchorage

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Aerial Tram and Wildlife Center tour from Anchorage

When Tom from our team ran this tour, we spent a full day tracing one of North America's genuinely stunning drives — the Seward Highway south of Anchorage — before riding an aerial tram up Mount Alyeska for serious alpine views, then pivoting to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to watch grizzlies, moose, and musk oxen in their element. It's part scenic route, part mountain vantage point, part animal sanctuary, and it works because each bit genuinely delivers. Six hours total, with the driver handling the road while you soak it in.

6 hoursfrom AUD $281

Walking Guided History Tour of Old St. Augustine

🛕 Culture & History

Walking Guided History Tour of Old St. Augustine

When Tom from our BugBitten team walked this 90-minute history tour through St. Augustine's compact historic centre, it felt like the city finally clicked into place. The guide stitched together Spain's founding through English occupation, the territorial scramble, and the wealthy revival that turned the place into a tourist draw. Small groups mean you can actually ask questions without feeling rushed, and the narrative hangs together rather than jumping between disconnected dots. St. Augustine draws a mixed crowd — retirees, history buffs, and curious travellers — and the old cobbled streets have real charm if you catch them before peak tourist hours.

1h 30mfrom AUD $35

Private Haleakala Summit & Stroll from Kahului

🌿 Nature & Wildlife

Private Haleakala Summit & Stroll from Kahului

When Noah from our team tackled this one, the appeal was clear: a private drive to Haleakalā's 10,023-foot summit with someone else handling the route. You wind through several distinct landscapes and microclimates—each shift marked by views that genuinely stretch. The National Park kicks in at 7,000 feet, and only a handful of operators have permits to roam the upper reaches. Five hours door-to-door feels tight but focused. It's the kind of outing where you're not battling tour-bus crowds, though the altitude does demand reasonable fitness.

5 hoursfrom AUD $507

Local Neighborhood Washington DC Food Tour by DrinkEatWalk Tours

🍜 Food & Cooking

Local Neighborhood Washington DC Food Tour by DrinkEatWalk Tours

When Sarah from our team joined DrinkEatWalk's evening tour, she got the real deal on two of DC's most character-filled neighbourhoods. Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan aren't what most tourists see—embassies and row houses give way to the kind of spots locals actually eat and drink in. Over four hours, the group stopped at six venues, hitting everything from a Michelin-reviewed Ethiopian spot (communal platter situation) to seafood sliders, pupusas, and dessert, with four drinks woven through. It's as much about the walk and the people as the food itself, and solo travellers absolutely belong here.

4 hoursfrom AUD $239

Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches

When Charlie from our team ran a semi-private lesson with Maui Surfer Girls, we got two full hours in the water—longer than most island operators offer. This female-owned school pairs you with experienced instructors (mixed crew, both blokes and women) in groups of 2–6, and they've refined their coaching style over two decades. The vibe is Maui's north shore: warm water, solid waves for learners, and a working beach where you'll share the lineup with holidaymakers and locals. Suits confident swimmers aged 11-plus who can handle genuine ocean conditions and want real time on a board, not a rushed hourlong session.

2 hoursfrom AUD $233

Private Beginner Paddleboard 101 Lesson: Makena Landing!

🐠 Water Activities

Private Beginner Paddleboard 101 Lesson: Makena Landing!

When Tom from our team tried this beginner paddleboard lesson at Makena Landing, we got the full gentle introduction: shoreside briefing, guided entry into the water, then a solid hour paddling in what locals call Turtle Town. The vibe here is calm and protected—you're in the heart of Wailea-Makena's coastline with Haleakala Crater visible from the water. It's just your group and the guides, so no jostling for space with strangers. Two hours total, pitched at anyone who's never stood on a board before.

2 hoursfrom AUD $225

Miami Helicopter Tour Hard Rock and Beach

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Miami Helicopter Tour Hard Rock and Beach

When Jake from our team took this 30-minute Miami helicopter tour, it felt like the quickest way to actually see the city from a different angle. You get a private Robinson 44 chopper to yourself — no sharing with strangers — and the pilot points out everything from the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel to the stadium and those famous turquoise-water beaches as you buzz over them. It's the sort of thing you'd never do solo, but somehow makes sense when you're already in Miami and want to tick something off that genuinely changes your perspective of the place.

30 minfrom AUD $254

Taco 'Bout Austin Bicycle Tour

🍜 Food & Cooking

Taco 'Bout Austin Bicycle Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team pedalled this Austin circuit, it was a genuine three-hour romp through tacos, murals, and local character. You're on a guided bike ride that stops at a handful of the city's proper taco joints for genuine samples, paired with drinks along the way. The vibe is casual — a mix of hungry tourists and locals who've figured out that combining cycling with eating is just smart city planning. It's not a gruelling fitness session; it's a cruisy food-focused way to clock some of Austin's street art and neighbourhood energy without getting lost or having to pick a restaurant yourself.

Visit in French the must-see neighborhoods of NYC

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Visit in French the must-see neighborhoods of NYC

When Tom from our BugBitten team joined this French-language walking tour, we wound through four classic Manhattan neighbourhoods — Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown — with a guide who's actually lived in New York for years. It's a solid 3.5-hour ramble that works equally well for solo travellers wanting to practise their French and families with prams in tow. The tour hits the must-see blocks without feeling rushed, and you'll leave with a handy post-tour email map of each spot.

3h 30mfrom AUD $97

1 Hour Florida Everglades Wildlife Tour

🌿 Nature & Wildlife

1 Hour Florida Everglades Wildlife Tour

When Tom from our team did this hour-long airboat tour through the Everglades, he was straight into the action — spotting gators, wading birds, and the odd crocodile sliding through brackish water. The Everglades is a vast, eerie maze of sawgrass and cypress, teeming with life most Aussies have only seen in documentaries. It's peak tourist territory, so you'll share the waterways with other boats, but the pace keeps things moving and the guides know where the animals hang out. Perfect for wildlife spotters after a quick hit of genuine Florida wildness without the theme-park feel.

1 hourfrom AUD $92

Veteran-Led Arlington National Cemetery Walking Tour

🛕 Culture & History

Veteran-Led Arlington National Cemetery Walking Tour

When Jake from our BugBitten team took this tour, he got the opposite of a rushed Cemetery visit. Eric Hommel, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel with 25 years embedded in Arlington's history, leads small groups (max 12) through three miles of hallowed ground over three unhurried hours. Rather than rattling off dates and names, Eric weaves the human stories—the decisions, the losses, the veterans' struggles—that sit behind each section. It's conversational, respectful, and deliberately built so you're not sprinting between graves.

3 hoursfrom AUD $76

Sunday Brunch at Findlay Market Tour with Riverside Food Tours

🍜 Food & Cooking

Sunday Brunch at Findlay Market Tour with Riverside Food Tours

When Jake from our team did this Sunday brunch tour at Findlay Market in Cincinnati's Over the Rhine neighbourhood, it clicked why a million people pass through annually — it's chaotic, cramped, and brilliant. Findlay's been standing since 1855, and Riverside Food Tours cuts through the noise with a guide who steers you past the queues to proper local spots. You'll graze your way through nine stops over two and a quarter hours: German goetta, Belgian waffles, empanadas, gelato, the works. First-timers especially benefit from someone who knows which stall's actually worth your time.

2h 15mfrom AUD $126

Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise in Waikiki

🐠 Water Activities

Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise in Waikiki

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this private catamaran cruise out of Kewalo Basin in Honolulu, she got two hours of open water, coastline views, and a genuine shot at spotting turtles or dolphins without fighting a crowded boat. The catamaran heads northeast toward Diamond Head, anchors in calm water, and lets you swim, snorkel, or just float around soaking it in. It's your own vessel, your own soundtrack via Bluetooth, and a local skipper with real knowledge of Oahu's coastal history and culture. The whole thing hinges on timing the sunset properly and the ocean cooperating — but when it clicks, it's a proper way to finish the day.

2 hoursfrom AUD $987

Tour New York Contrasts and Graphitis

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Tour New York Contrasts and Graphitis

When Charlie from our team booked this six-hour roving tour, we piled into a small van with a dozen other travellers and a Spanish-speaking guide to chase the real New York across four boroughs. The route threads through the Bronx, Williamsburg, Harlem, and Queens—the neighbourhoods where the city's energy actually lives. You stop eleven times to get out, walk around, snap photos, and soak in the contrast between gentrified strips and gritty corners. It's a tightly packed day that trades the usual tourist loop for street-level neighbourhood flavour.

6 hoursfrom AUD $78

Private 8-Hour Grand Teton Adventure

🌿 Nature & Wildlife

Private 8-Hour Grand Teton Adventure

When Tom from our BugBitten team booked a private 8-hour wildlife tour through Grand Teton, we were curious whether the custom vehicles and naturalist guides would deliver. The park sprawls across northwest Wyoming, drawing keen wildlife spotters and hikers year-round—it's genuinely wild terrain where elk, bison and grizzlies roam. The tour covers the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem with a guide trained in ecology, geology and animal behaviour, using top-tier optics to pick out creatures from a distance. Everyone gets a window seat in the 4x4, which makes a real difference when you're scanning sagebrush and treeline. It's a full day of moving through the park, stopping to glass ridges and valleys, with meals and kit supplied.

8 hoursfrom AUD $3451

Peekaboo Slot Canyon Tour UTV and Hiking Adventure (Private)

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Peekaboo Slot Canyon Tour UTV and Hiking Adventure (Private)

When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this two-hour tour in the US, she got a neat hybrid experience: UTV ripping across dunes followed by a hike through one of the region's tighter slot canyons. The appeal here is bundling two different activities without the hassle of booking separately. You're hitting both the adrenaline and the geology in one outing, with fewer crowds than you'd find at the major canyon tourist spots nearby. The landscape shifts from open desert to narrow red-rock passages, and the area draws a mix of adventure seekers and casual tourists.

2 hoursfrom AUD $196

Kayak Whale Watch & Turtle Town Snorkel - Free Photos Included

🐠 Water Activities

Kayak Whale Watch & Turtle Town Snorkel - Free Photos Included

When Lily from our BugBitten team paddled out on this owner-run kayak expedition off Maui, the difference from the big harbour boats was immediately clear—no diesel rumble, just the sound of whale breath and song from a few metres away. You're in a kayak at water level, close enough to feel the genuine scale of these animals, then you slip ashore to snorkel alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles at a natural cleaning station and explore volcanic coral reefs. It's a tight four-hour operation with a guide who knows these waters inside out, and the whole experience gets backed up with same-day high-res photos.

4 hoursfrom AUD $212

"Tallest in Utah" Via Ferrata & Rappelling (4 hr)

🏔 Adventure & Sports

"Tallest in Utah" Via Ferrata & Rappelling (4 hr)

When Em from our team tackled this via ferrata, we were scaling Utah's tallest vertical rock climb—over 1,000 feet of iron-stepped ascent across three pitches on private land. The route threads through a tight canyon before breaking out onto the summit, where views spill across the valley and into Zion. It's a proper physical challenge, not a casual stroll, but the engineered steps and fixed gear make it achievable for anyone with decent fitness and no major injuries. The 4.5-hour experience combines via ferrata climbing, multiple rappels, and some satisfying scrambling through narrow rock passages—genuinely thrilling if you've got the strength to back it up.

4h 30mfrom AUD $281

Yo! A Private Rocky Balboa Driving Tour of Philadelphia

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Yo! A Private Rocky Balboa Driving Tour of Philadelphia

When Alex from our team ran this four-hour Rocky tour, we got the full Philly nostalgia trip without having to drive ourselves. Your guide is genuinely keen on the films—they'll quiz you on quotes and walk you through the actual neighbourhoods where it was shot. You'll hit Rocky's apartment, Mick's Gym, the Italian Market where he trained, a cemetery visit to Adrian and Paulie's headstones (yes, those exist), and finish at the Museum of Art steps for the famous jog-and-pose moment. It's a tight private van with a local who knows their stuff.

4 hoursfrom AUD $834

Private White Pocket Vermilion Tour

🌿 Nature & Wildlife

Private White Pocket Vermilion Tour

When Jake from our team drove out to White Pocket, we found ourselves in genuinely alien terrain — white sandstone mounds cracked into geometric patterns, with burnt orange and crimson layers bleeding underneath. This remote corner of Arizona feels less like Earth and more like a film set. The 7–9 hour private tour hauls you across rough tracks in an air-conditioned vehicle, stopping at several vantage points for walking and photography. It's pure geology theatre, and the payoff is real: especially after summer storms when reflection pools turn the whole place into a mirror maze.

7 hours – 9 hoursfrom AUD $550

Private Wine Tour in Paso Robles

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Private Wine Tour in Paso Robles

When Jake from our team booked a private wine tour in Paso Robles, Toast Tours handled the lot — picking us up from our accommodation, charting a custom route through the region's wineries, and driving us around for a full 6 hours in a spacious vehicle. Paso Robles is inland California wine country: rolling vineyards, relaxed tasting rooms, and a mix of serious wine buffs and casual day-trippers. The outfit's sold on sommelier know-how and tailoring each day to your crew's tastes and budget, whether you're novices or seasoned drinkers.

Naples Florida Electric Trike Tour - Fun For The Entire Family!

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Naples Florida Electric Trike Tour - Fun For The Entire Family!

When Ben from our BugBitten team tried Naples' electric trike tour, he found it a genuinely relaxed way to cover the city without breaking a sweat. You're pedalling (or not — the electric motor does the heavy lifting) through a mix of upscale neighbourhoods, waterfront shops, and the kind of real-estate porn that defines Florida's southwest coast. The trikes themselves are stable, easy to hop on and off, and the 90-minute loop hits the highlights without feeling rushed. Guides point out local spots and character that you'd miss speeding past in a car.

1h 30mfrom AUD $79

Scenic full day circle island tour-snorkeling/breakfast included

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Scenic full day circle island tour-snorkeling/breakfast included

When Tom from our team booked this full-day circle-island loop out of Waikiki, what stood out was the early-morning start that meant we actually beat the crowds and tour buses that clog the main sights. You get picked up directly from your hotel, fed a Hawaiian breakfast burrito at a local café (proper fuel for the day), then driven through Oahu's best bits — from the dramatic windward coast to snorkelling stops — with just 13 people max on the van. It's a seven to eight-hour affair that feels genuinely unhurried, which is rare in Hawaiian tourism. You're back in Waikiki by mid-afternoon, refreshed enough to grab dinner without collapsing.

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $141

Guided Alpine Lake Float and Hike - Southern Bitterroot Mountains

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Guided Alpine Lake Float and Hike - Southern Bitterroot Mountains

When Sarah from our BugBitten team tackled this alpine lake float and hike in the Southern Bitterroot Mountains, she found herself in genuinely wild terrain—the kind where unmaintained trails and seasonal water crossings keep casual walkers honest. This is a hybrid day that pairs a proper mountain hike with a packraft float down a glacial canyon, a combo you won't find anywhere else in the region. The forest here is rugged, moody, and demands respect; the crew keeps groups small (max 4 packrafts), and your guide carries proper safety kit and GPS comms. It's six hours of real adventure, not a stroll.

6 hoursfrom AUD $239

Not So Mellow Marshmallow Tour (Wildside 4x4 Tours)

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Not So Mellow Marshmallow Tour (Wildside 4x4 Tours)

When Tom from our team booked this 4x4 tour into Roosevelt National Forest, we weren't expecting it to swing between genuine thrills and backyard campfire vibes — but that's the mashup here. You'll ride in an open-topped custom vehicle up to a 360-degree viewing tower for sunset, then drop back down to a fire pit where your crew roasts hot dogs and marshmallows while wrapped in blankets under the stars. The return drive after dark is legitimately bumpy and fun. It's equal parts off-road adventure and family gathering, about four hours total, best suited to groups who want their nature with a side of s'mores.

4 hoursfrom AUD $208

Private Road to Hana Tour

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Private Road to Hana Tour

When Alex from our team ran the Road to Hana, it was a proper full day of it—9.5 hours winding through East Maui's rainforest, volcanic landscape, and hidden spots that the big tour buses don't reach. The driver navigates you past Haleakala's backside, over dozens of waterfalls, black and red sand beaches, and through bamboo groves, with room to stop where things look interesting. It's a smaller group (max 7), so it feels less like cattle-herding and more like a mate who knows the back roads showing you around. You get fresh local snacks and banana bread thrown in, but food and accommodation are on you.

9h 30mfrom AUD $812

Charleston: A Walk Through Charleston History

🛕 Culture & History

Charleston: A Walk Through Charleston History

When Noah from our team booked this walk, we got a proper local—someone whose family's been in Charleston since the 1700s and actually lives in the neighbourhoods you're walking through. It's a straightforward 2-hour amble through the city's centre hitting the obvious landmarks: Rainbow Row's candy-coloured townhouses, the Battery's waterfront views, Fort Sumter, and the grand antebellum homes. What sets it apart is Noah himself—this isn't a big outfit cranking out tours, it's one bloke who knows the streets like his own backyard and has genuine connections to residents along the way. You get the history without the corporate polish.

2 hoursfrom AUD $24

One-Hour Private Seattle Sightseeing Cruise - BYOB!

🐠 Water Activities

One-Hour Private Seattle Sightseeing Cruise - BYOB!

When Tom from our team booked this one-hour private cruise on Lake Union, we found ourselves on the Candere—a proper luxury boat captained by someone who actually knows the waterway. You're floating past Seattle's floating homes, vintage drawbridges, seaplanes landing, and kayakers soaking it in. The whole vibe is relaxed: the captain does the talking, you bring your own drinks (yes, beer and wine are welcome), and it's just you and up to five others on the water. Perfect if you want Seattle's character without the tour-bus crowds, and short enough to squeeze between other plans.

1 hourfrom AUD $408

VIP Private Boat Manatee Snorkel Tour with In-Water Guide and Photograper

🐠 Water Activities

VIP Private Boat Manatee Snorkel Tour with In-Water Guide and Photograper

When Ben from our team tried this Crystal River manatee snorkel, we got the whole boat to ourselves—just six of us and a dedicated in-water guide hunting for the gentle giants that migrate here each winter. Crystal River sits in central Florida and fills with 700–1000 manatees between December and March, drawn to three spring systems that hold a steady 72–74°F year-round. Even in summer, about 70–100 stay put. The outfit runs this as a conservation experience, not a circus: passive observation, respect for the animals, and a free photo package ($40 value) bundled in. Three hours total, from briefing to boat and in-water time.

3 hoursfrom AUD $777

✈️ Transfers

Skip the Lines Reliable Comfortable and stress free Rides

When Tom from our team booked this private car service across New York, what struck us was the no-fuss approach to getting around a city that otherwise chews up time in traffic and subway queues. You're paired with an experienced driver (many with 20+ years under their belt) who handles the route while you sit back in a comfortable vehicle. The service covers 45 minutes to just over an hour of travel, with the driver messaging you beforehand with exact pickup details and vehicle info. It's pitched at travellers who'd rather skip the stress of navigating public transport and want someone who knows the city's shortcuts, landmarks, and decent spots to eat.

🐠 Water Activities

CLEAR Kayak Sunset & Light Tour - Bonita Springs / Ft Myers Beach

When Jake from our BugBitten team paddled out on Paddle Naples' clear kayak sunset tour near Bonita Springs, it was a straightforward evening on the water—two hours in see-through tandem kayaks rigged with coloured LED lights, searching for dolphins, manatees, and wading birds around Big Hickory Island. The setup is refreshingly simple: a 15-minute paddle to the main channel, then cruising shallow waters where marine life congregates year-round. It's the kind of thing families and couples book together, and the novelty of paddling in a transparent hull definitely lands.
