Tours/Excursions
Bonafide Adventures specializes in making your experience a one of a kind adventure. We offer suggestions on popular options and destinations around Boca Grande and the surrounding islands, but please contact us if you have something else in mind. We are available to assist with the planning of your tour/excursion based on your preferences. Create lasting memories with family or friends when you book with us.
Tour the Boca Grande Canals
See Boca Grande Island from the canals and take in all the sites from the water. Watch for dolphins and manatee as we cruise slowly through each canal and admire the beautiful homes and boats along the way. Take in this different perspective of the island and see how many species of birds or other wildlife you can spot.
(recommended time: 1-1.5 hours)
Cruise around Boca Grande
Head out into the Bay and go by Pelican Island and the sandbar before going under the Causeway through the inlet and out to the ocean. View Little Gaspirilla Island and all the beach houses on Boca Grande along with both lighthouses before navigating through the famous Boca Grande Pass. You might even see a sea turtle or Tarpon during certain months of the year.
(recommended time: 2 hours)
Boca Grande Sandbar
Did you ever wonder why so many boats anchor in the shallow water near the Boca Grande Causeway? Find out for yourself by spending some time at the sandbar floating and swimming in the shallow water or explore and search for unique shells nestled in the sand.
(recommended time: 1 - 1.5 hours)
Sunset Cruise
Enjoy a gorgeous sunset first hand from the water in front of Boca Grande. We will leave from the docks and head out through the Pass in plenty of time to catch the best view of the sun sinking into the ocean. Listen to some tunes and enjoy a drink or an adult beverage (BYOB) as we cruise along. Bring your camera to capture unforgettable memories.
(recommended time: 2 - 2.5 hours)
Tarpon Lodge - Lunch/Dinner
Sister restaurant to Cabbage Key located on Pine Island. Tarpon Lodge houses a 4-star restaurant offering upscale dining reminiscent of the Old Florida days. Enjoy fresh fish and specialty cocktails as you enjoy the view of Pine Island Sound.
(recommended time: 2.5 hours)
Cabbage Key - Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
Head to the famous "Cheeseburger in Paradise" restaurant Cabbage Key and enjoy a wonderful meal and some great tropical drinks. Relax and spend some time touring the island to see the huge gopher turtles or sit back and do a little people watching as boats come and go. You never know who you might run in to at Cabbage Key.
(recommended time: 2 - 2.5 hours)
Cayo Costa Island
If you want your own private beach and enjoy searching for shells, this is the place for you. We will bring beach chairs and a beach tent so you can spend as much time as you like swimming, exploring, shelling, or listening to the waves while relaxing in the shade. Bring a picnic to enjoy and a camera to document your adventure.
