Top 10 Things to do Adventurous in Fort Myers, Florida (FL)

September 19, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

The City of Palms is located in Southwestern Florida on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Most visitors go to Fort Myers for the deep-sea fishing, the golf courses and the famous white sand beaches and islands that line the Gulf Coast. A renovation of the city's downtown waterfront promises new restaurants, clubs, shops and galleries. Attractions include the winter estates of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, as well as nearby Naples and the islands of Sanibel and Captiva.

We enjoyed a spectacular day in southwest Florida with Everglades Day Safari! Our guide, Alex, was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the area. Her understanding of the natural science of each environment that we explored was impressive...she was able to identify every plant and species that we came across! Alex kept our group of twelve on schedule throughout a full day of activities! We had front row seats for a thrilling “show” put on by three beautiful dolphins during our morning boat ride with Captain Chris, learned about the local flora and fauna on our nature hike with Alex, enjoyed a tasty meal and great conversation with our group during our lunch at Everglades City, saw many alligators of all sizes during our drive through Big Cypress Natural Preserve and ended the day with an exhilarating fan boat ride on Lake Trafford! Each member of our family of six thoroughly enjoyed the day...a perfect introduction to the Florida Everglades and all of its natural beauty!

Reviewed By Dtaylor3266 - Oakville, Canada

Had been wanting to try an escape room for a long time so after four straight days of bad weather in Fort Myers we decided to book it for our group of 7 and I’m so glad we did! It was so much fun trying to figure out the clues and was much harder than I anticipated. The good news is there are hints available if/when you need them. The room set up was excellent - I didn’t expect to see curved, wood covered walls that made you feel like you were inside of a pirate ship! We managed to complete the mission with only 38 seconds to spare - definitely not a record breaking time - but we had a great time doing it. I would totally recommend doing this - rain or shine! ????

Gulf Coast Slingshot Rentals

Gulf Coast slingshot rentals is the premiere slingshot rental service in SWFL. We offer you an experience that is only matched by the pure exhilaration of driving the Polaris Slingshot from a staff that has a true passion for the slingshot. This vehicle gets more attention than an exotic sports car and with its open air configuration is more fun to drive. Come explore SWFL in the Slingshot.

Reviewed By 296nathano

The Polaris Slingshot is a blast to sightsee in! You won't find a more unique way to spend an afternoon or entire day... This vehicle provides unmatched viewing angles (the ultimate convertible) and the 5 speed manual is crazy fun! Definitely an unrefined beast, you will feel the engine heat radiating down by your legs and the engine roars to life after every start. Gulf Coast Slingshot rentals is the place to rent from...Cyndee was very thorough and thoughtful and her rates are better than several other companies! This experience was 1 of the highlights of our trip to SW Florida...you won't regret it!!
