As I began researching what adventure we’d try I headed straight over to TripAdvisor to plan. Not only are it’s millions of traveler reviews the best resource for travel insight, but it’s also the best place to actually book your attraction.

Plan and book your attraction directly from TripAdvisor

When reviewing our options I knew I wanted to do something on the water. Florida is known for it’s warm temps year around and the best place to cool off and have fun is on a boat. Researching couldn’t have been easier because all I had to do was select the city I was interested in and search specifically what I wanted. “Boat Tours” sounded like a great place to start and immediately the site populated all the boat tours available in the region.

After cross checking our schedule and ticket availability, I easily secured our tickets. Within seconds we had our confirmation and printable vouchers at hand. Now all we had to do was count down the days until our adventure (and decide what to wear of course).

The Sea Serpent is indeed in a class of it’s own as it was the first Air Boat to ever boast a motor in addition to it’s powerful fan. This gives Captain Mike more freedom to navigate the small tributaries of the St Johns, as well as a welcome back up if technical difficulties ever arise with the boat’s chief means of momentum.

From the get go Captain Mike set the ambiance for us with a lively musical playlist amplified through our Air Boat headphones. On this playlist we also heard the tales of a Pirate Captain who passed long ago on the St Johns, as well as a greedy miser who was said to haunt the Southern waterway. The stories were complimented by stunning blue skies, and a glassy horizon. The Sea Serpent navigated the St Johns River, under the mossy coverage of ancient oaks, through swampy marshlands, and across protected lowlands. It was everything we imagined this iconic experience would be and more thanks to Captain Mike’s creative touches.

Up until our helicopter trip earlier this year I had no idea you could book your attraction right on TripAdvisor’s website. Not only is it convenient, you also have access to VIP and skip-the-line tours. Plan ahead and take advantage of all the resources TripAdvisor has from reviews, to booking. It sure beats standing in line the day of an event while crossing your fingers it all goes well. Eliminate that stress and travel seamlessly thanks to TripAdvisor.

Need to reschedule or move your date? You have access to TripAdvisor’s 24/7 customer service giving you quicker response to all of your questions and concerns. TripAdvisor really makes it so easy to plan your entire trip from accommodations, to things to do. Whether you’re on your desktop or mobile device you can plan and book whenever, wherever.
