What to do and see in West Palm Beach, Florida (FL): The Best Tours

May 10, 2022 Marissa Gamble

With sunny skies, nearly perfect year-round weather and a range of outdoor and cultural attractions, West Palm Beach presents the ideal setting for a weekend escape. Enjoy a game of golf at a number of pristine local courses or hit the beach for a day of tanning and catching up on your reading. See African chimps and endangered species like the Southern White rhinoceros wander free in a natural habitat at the Lion Country Safari. You could spend an entire day on Peanut Island, a popular tourist attraction that houses a bunker built for President John F. Kennedy during the Cold War. The island includes the bunker, a museum and plenty of picnic areas, plus biking and walking paths. The ferry ride to the island cruises past the opulent mansions of the city's wealthy residents. For those who prefer indoor endeavors, the Norton Museum boasts an exceptional collection of American, Chinese and European art. Famous performers appear at "The Harriet" and at the Kravis Center. Of course there's always shopping, the city's other favorite pastime. From designer boutiques to big name department stores, West Palm has it all.

Had a great time parasailing! Captain & crew did a great job and the parasailing ride was exhilarating! As my the first time doing this, they made me feel very safe and confidant. Just know that the cost is really $105.00, not $99. When I asked why on the phone, they said it was for tax, but tax was a separate charge , so I recommend they update the website, because it came across as a bit deceptive. Aside from that everything was great! Captain & crew were efficient and friendly! The views from that height were outstanding!

My niece and I had the most peaceful, beautiful experience making our Malas! Ron was knowledgeable, patient and fun. He created a welcoming space and walked us through the process. We also had a lot of fun during the process. I recommend this to anyone who is into crystals and meditation or to anyone looking to start getting into it as well.
