Florida Fishing Charter Is One Of The Best Adventure Tours In The U.S.

For some people, a vacation does not mean lounging on chair with a drink all day (although that does sound great). Many travelers are also seeking a thrill or outdoor adventure tours to navigate and take in their destination in a way that is both unique and provides some exercise.

USA Today's 10BEST recently analyzed this subject in-depth, highlighting the best adventure excursions throughout the country. In the category of charter fishing tours, a Florida fishing charter was recognized as the best.

Regardless of the type of adventure tour one decides to pursue, each of them has a few characteristics in common. The most obvious is that it gives the guest the opportunity to see the outdoor environment of this area or region from a different perspective. That means literally being in the middle of nature or sometimes soaring above it and taking it in from a bird's eye view.

A tour guide generally has a deep knowledge of the local area and its history. He or she may point out a simple tree, for example, that you may not have noticed. Perhaps the tree represents that native land or was planted 500 years ago. Tour guides are also great resources for learning about additional area highlights like restaurants.

I can't recommend a tour that takes you along a coastline enough. In addition, an excursion that is through or above the mountainside always provides views that will ultimately result in fantastic photos to keep the memory alive forever upon your return.

Lastly, participating in an adventure tour does not mean giving up time to rest and relax. Many of these take up the bulk of a day, but you can certainly build around it to make sure you get the full vacation experience.

In Madeira Beach we have an excursion that encompasses a lot of this detail, but it also can give you a reward at the other end of the line.

5-hour fishing trips, 10-hour fishing trips, 44-hour full moon trips, and deep-sea fishing are all possible with Hubbard's Marina. They are located at 170 Boardwalk Pl. E. in Madeira Beach.

"Beyond the realm of the reel, guests can also take part in sunset cruises, dolphin tours, and even camping trips on stunning Shell Key," 10BEST says.

Of the ten fishing excursions highlighted by USA Today, three are based out of Florida. FishMonster Charters in Key West, and Lady Luck Adventures in Shalimar also made the list.

According to Infrastructure Report Card, there are 617,000 bridges in the United States. Outlets such as Attractions of America and Mr. Hudson have each come up with lists of the most beautiful bridges. Two of them call Florida home.

A bridge can be a historical landmark in addition to a pathway that connects communities. Certain bridges, like the Golden Gate in San Francisco, draw thousands of tourists each year. People plan trips around visiting this site and taking in its incredible views. Unsurprisingly, the Golden Gate Bridge is either #1 or #2 on each of the aforementioned lists.

The bridge that it shares the top spot with is famous for its ability to walk or bike over. The Brooklyn Bridge connects Brooklyn Heights to Manhattan via six lanes. Many charity-driven bike rides also cross here as it offers unique perspectives into New York City without any tollways.

In Florida, American Road and Transportation lists over 12,000 bridges in the Sunshine State (though not all of them are in functional condition). There are two however, that stand above the rest. One is architecturally astounding. The other feels like a gateway into a mysterious paradise.

"American bridges are often designed with looks to match their engineering ingenuity," Mr. Hudson explains.

What's fascinating about bridges in America, is they are constructed of different materials and serve different purposes. For example, the final and tenth selection in Attractions of America's feature is the Benson Bridge, Multnomah Falls, in Oregon. This is a foot traffic bridge that is only 45 feet long. It allows visitors to walk 105 feet above the Lower Multnomah Falls cascade

Let's take a look at the two most beautiful bridges in Florida.

Connecting St. Petersburg to Terra Ceia, this bridge is 4.1 miles long. This stunning bridge over Tampa Bay is often lit up with colors that highlight the skyline. Furthermore, since 2018, there has been a Skyway 10K race that closes the bridge each year.

This two-lane bridge is technically part of Route 1. It's a magical gateway into the Florida Keys. Mr. Hudson points out, "the Seven Mile Bridge usually has space for sightseers to park up and admire the Florida Keys." In 1982, a heavy renovation made the lanes wider, allowing for a safer and more comfortable drive. The last annual seven-mile bridge run took place this past April.
