Tampa is Absolutely Amazing! 🌴🎉
5 Days & 4 Nights of Sunshine & Adventure ✈️ Day 1: Arrival 🐠 The Florida Aquarium – A chill intro to Tampa’s marine life! 🍽️ Dinner at Ulele – Riverfront dining with killer Native-inspired dishes. 🌊 Day 2: Clearwater Beach 🎣 Deep-sea fishing + dolphin spotting! (Pro tip: Parking is $$$—arrive early!) 🐬 Clearwater Marine Aquarium – Rescue stories + AC relief from the heat. 🐄 Day 3: Crystal River 🤿 Manatee Snorkel Tour (May = off-season, but we saw a few!) Reality check: Floating for 2 HOURS with just a noodle—exhausting but worth it for a manatee hug! (They’re surprisingly firm 😂) 🦀 Lunch at The Crab Plant – Cheap, fresh seafood (cash only!). 🦩 Detour: Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park ($9 post-hurricane deal!) – Flamingos + rehab manatees. 🚣♂️ Day 4: Weeki Wachee + Tampa 🛶 Kayaking in crystal-clear springs (So many fish! But no manatees in May). 💨 2 hours of paddling = arm workout from hell. 💨 Cigar Rolling Class (<$100, keep your creations—great souvenirs!). 🍷 Dinner at Columbia Restaurant – Legendary Cuban food & sangria! 😴 Day 5: Fly Home Slept in HARD – After 8 AM starts all week, we earned it. 😴 💡 Pro Tips: ☀️ Book water activities EARLY – May afternoons are brutally hot. 🚗 Rent a car – Almost everything’s 1hr+ from downtown (except Clearwater Beach). #Tampa #FloridaTravel #ManateeMagic #KayakLife #FoodieAdventures #NoSleepJustExplore
