๐ 4 Days & 5 Nights in Tampa Travel Guide (Part 2) ๐
Day 3: Kayaking + Jet Ski โ The Most Fun Day! ๐ฃโโ๏ธ๐ฅ๏ธ ๐ Weeki Wachee Spring ๐ฎ๐ฆ Woke up at 6:30 AM ๐ฅฑ, left Clearwater at 7:30 AM, and drove 1.5 hours to Weeki Wachee. Booked a 9 AM kayak tour โ around $100+ per person. We were super lucky ๐: saw manatees, blue crabs ๐ฆ, and tons of fish! The guide was super enthusiastic โ pointed out wildlife and took lots of photos (including meme-worthy shots ๐). Paddled for 2 hours โ felt like an intense back workout ๐ช๐ . ๐ Bait House Tackle & Tavern ๐๐ค Headed back to Clearwater around 11:30 AM for lunch. This place was SO GOOD!! You can choose the fresh catch of the day + two sides. Their drunken shrimp was incredible โ the sauce was chefโs kiss ๐๐! Also tried the clam chowder โ I liked it, but my friend wasnโt as impressed ๐. The staff was friendly, and portions were just right for two girls ๐ซถ. ๐ Jet Ski Adventure ๐๏ธ๐ Rented jet skis near our hotel in the afternoon โ BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! A must-do life experience ๐ฅ! Ride your own โ donโt sit behind someone else. Itโs way more fun that way! I was scared at first ๐ฑ, but going faster actually feels more stable. We rode along endless turquoise coastlines ๐๐ค, tasted the salty spray, and even spotted dolphins ๐ฌ and birds diving for fish ๐ฆ๐! ~$150 per person. ๐ Clearwater Sunset ๐ After resting at the hotel, we went back to Clearwater Beach for sunset โ absolutely stunning ๐! The golden hour light was so soft and perfect for photos ๐ธโจ. ๐ The Salty Crab Bar & Grill North Beach ๐ฆ๐ต SO! GOOD! FRESH! SEAFOOD! We ordered garlic shrimp, crab legs ๐ฆ, and a shrimp trio โ everything melted in our mouths ๐๐. The vibe was lively with live music ๐ค โ such a fun way to end the day! #Tampa #TampaTravel #Clearwater #FoodieAdventure #JetSkiLife ๐ด๐ธ
