Things to do in Cape Coral, Florida (FL): The Best Outdoor Activities

September 9, 2021 Roger Rusk

Cape Coral's temperate climate, abundant forests, and access to the Gulf of Mexico make it an ideal destination for boating, fishing, hiking, and many other outdoor activities. Cape Coral is the perfect destination for any outdoor enthusiast, and from hiking one of the many trails at the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park to fishing at the Cape Coral Yacht Club there are activities for just about everyone. Coral Oaks Golf Course is a great place to work on your game, and if history is your thing or you just love beautiful flowers, don't forget to check out the Cape Coral Historical Society Museum to see some interesting relics and their prized rose garden.

BBQ Donut Boat

It's a barbecue, a picnic table, and a boat all in one. It's the amazing BBQ Donut Boat.

Reviewed By 0118ruthhague - Cape Coral, United States

We took our third donut boat tour last night and I just had to share our experience. When we have people in from out of town this is our favorite excursion to take them to. Although you can captain these boats yourself we chose to have them provide one for us so that we can sit back and enjoy the experience. Antonella has served as our captain each time; what a wonderful and warm person...she goes out of her way to make sure you are having a unique and fun time. She is a true gem. They allow you to give up to 5 stars on this app. I would give more if I could. We got to follow dolphins around on 2 of our trips. This is truly a fun time. I would highly recommend this experience. You will not be sorry.

Davey Dee's Charters

Reviewed By larrylM5160JG

This was the best guided trip I have been on. I took my son, his new wife and my son-in law for a 1/2 day of fishing. My son and I are fisherman but my son-in-law and daughter in-law were not, so I asked Dave if he would make sure we caught fish. He was fantastic and before all 4 of us had rods in the water, we were catching fish and it continued all day. We caught 4 different species and had fish to eat for a couple days while we stayed at the rental house. Awesome Day!
