Going to Walt Disney World or Universal Studios Resorts can be exciting on its own. There are so many great thrills and experiences that are sure to help you and your family make some wonderful vacation memories. Though, these are not the only adventures Florida has to offer. Here are some truly amazing experiences that you and your friends and family might want to consider during your trip:
Going to the Beach
Florida has plenty of great beaches from Vero Beach to the Florida Keys. However, two spots that I personally love traveling to are Sanibel and Captiva Islands. These islands have some much to offer in natural beauty and wonder. In visiting Sanibel Island there are so many great things to do including exploring on the beach, visiting the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, and kayaking. One experience that is worth mentioning is the opportunity to go dolphin watching aboard the Sanibel Thriller! This great high speed boat tour is family friendly and brings you up close to the dolphins! The tour also provides some
great views of Sanibel and Captiva Islands as well as valuable information about both islands.
