About this experience

No trip to the beach is complete without an amazing sunset on the water, thats where we come in. We have been running tours on this waterway for over 17 years and we know exactly where to see the best sunsets and wildlife including dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and much more. Once the sun goes down, we will position everyone to get the best view of the Firework Show and if you have never seen a firework show from the water it's beautiful! Sunset Tours are offered every night when the weather is good. Please note the Fireworks Shows are NOT every night. The Firework Shows are scheduled for every Friday and Saturday night until Sept. 27th. Please call us at the shop to find out about additional firework events. Please Note: Exact tour location will be shared with you upon booking.
