30ft Double Decker Triple Slide Party Boat with Captain up to 22

When Ben from our team hired out this 30ft double-decker boat on Nashville's lake, we had the whole vessel to ourselves—up to 22 people, no sharing. It's positioned as a party setup with slides, a beer pong table, and a sound system, though it swings both ways: you can lean hard into the party vibe or just chill with mates in quieter spots around the lake. The captain knows the water inside out, having worked these routes for years. Three hours gives you enough time to anchor up at party cove, take some slides, and actually relax without feeling rushed.

Powered Hang Gliding Experience

When Tom from our BugBitten team took to the air above Maui in a powered hang glider, he got a perspective most visitors never access. You're strapped into a lightweight aircraft built for silent flight — the motor cuts out mid-air and you're gliding, nothing between you and the view. That hour loops you over valleys, cliffs, and coastline at a pace that lets the landscape actually register. It's a genuinely different way to see the island, quieter and more intimate than a helicopter, and the access is surprisingly good: wheelchair users can board, kids from 12 can go, and the whole operation feels genuinely set up for diverse travellers.

Private Soul of NOLA 3-Hour Citywide Tour

Private Soul of NOLA 3-Hour Citywide Tour

When Jake from our team ran this 3-hour driving tour of New Orleans, we stayed cool in the minivan while covering serious ground—French Quarter's colonial bones, the arty vibe of Marigny and Bywater, the massive live oaks around City Park, mansion-heavy Esplanade, the Garden District's antebellum grandeur, and a pass through the arts and business districts. It's a snapshot rather than a deep dive, but ideal for a first-time visit or when the heat's brutal and you want to clock the city's main neighbourhoods without melting on foot.

Chicago Walking Tour: Connecting Past and Present

When Ben from our team ran this Chicago walking tour, we got a proper education in how a city builds on itself. Over 1 hour 45 minutes, we hit seven stops in downtown, moving between buildings that span from the 1890s right through to contemporary designs by names like Gehry and Piano. The tour kicks off inside the Chicago Architecture Center galleries, then takes you street-level to see how older commercial and Beaux-Arts structures sit cheek-by-jowl with sleek modern towers. It wraps at Millennium Park, where the architectural ideas come together in one public space. The downtown core is busy but the pace lets you actually absorb each building rather than just tick boxes.

San Diego's North Park Tour

When Sarah from our team ran this 90-minute walking tour through North Park, we found ourselves in one of San Diego's most genuinely local neighbourhoods—the kind of place where you'll spot striking murals between independent cafes and craft breweries, but it never feels touristy. The strip is compact and walkable, drawing a solid mix of creative locals and visitors who actually know the area. Sarah came away impressed by how much depth the guide packed in, and the communal sketchbook added a nice collaborative thread to the experience. It's the sort of tour that works because North Park itself does the heavy lifting.

Yosemite Valley & Glacier Point Adaptive Tour

When Jake from our team ran this six-hour Yosemite tour, it was built around accessibility from the ground up—not bolted on as an afterthought. You start at Glacier Point staring down 3,000 feet into the Valley, then drive down to explore the floor itself: Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, all from paved, wheelchair-friendly vantage points. The mix of high-altitude lookouts and valley-floor stops means you're not stuck in one spot, and the guide handles navigation so you can focus on the sheer scale of the place. It's genuinely level—no surprise stairs or rough terrain.

8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma

When Noah from our team booked this private wine tour, we got exactly what we needed: a local guide who skipped the tourist-heavy tasting rooms and took us to smaller producers across Napa and Sonoma valleys. Eight hours meant four wineries plus a proper lunch break, and Noah handled the logistics—making reservations, steering us toward places that matched our tastes, keeping the water flowing and snacks coming. It's the kind of tour that works because one person knows the region well enough to adapt on the fly, not stick to a script.

Full Day Best Of Yellowstone National Park Tour From Big Sky

When Jake from our team ran this full-day Yellowstone tour from Big Sky, we covered the park's showstoppers in about nine hours: Old Faithful erupting, the Grand Prismatic Spring's impossible blues, the thundering falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and thermal features that looked like another planet. The guide drives and navigates, adjusting the itinerary based on conditions, wildlife sightings, and what the group wants to see. It's a solid hit of Yellowstone's most famous sites without the faffing around; you're seeing thermal basins, geysers, hot springs, and if you're lucky, bison and elk along the way.

Private Guided Canyoneering Huntress Canyon with Rappelling

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Private Guided Canyoneering Huntress Canyon with Rappelling

When Charlie from our team ran Huntress Canyon with this outfit, we found a proper flexible canyoneering experience that genuinely suits families and mixed-ability groups. The slot canyon itself is genuinely striking—narrow walls, natural light filtering through, the works. You're looking at 4 hours total, with between 0.75 and 2 miles of canyon to cover depending on what your guide and group decide on the day. There are between 4 and 8 rappels (ranging 20 to 70 feet), so it's entry-level to moderate difficulty. Kids as young as 5 can tag along, and fitness level genuinely isn't a barrier.

Private 4 Hour Shelling , Fishing and Eco Tour Marco Island FL

When Lily from our team tried this Marco Island tour, she spent four hours cruising the calm waters, hunting shells on a remote beach, and casting lines for catch-and-release fish. It's the kind of low-key Florida coastal experience that draws locals and visitors alike — no speedboat thrills, just a genuine mix of beachcombing and light angling in a quiet corner of Southwest Florida. The boat caps at six people, so it feels intimate rather than herded.

Walking Food Tour of Laguna Beach

When Ben from our team did this Laguna Beach walking food tour, we found a solid three-hour shuffle through a pretty coastal town hitting five different spots for bites. Laguna Beach itself is the kind of place that draws retirees, art lovers, and families — upmarket but not stuffy — with tree-lined streets and ocean glimpses popping up between galleries and indie shops. The route covers about 1.5 kilometres, so it's leisurely rather than demanding. You're guided by someone who knows the local food scene and a bit of the area's backstory, which beats just wandering and guessing.

StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis

4 hours – 6 hoursfrom AUD $239

StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this St. Louis private tour, it was a solid pick for hitting the city's main drawcards without the slog of hopping between them yourself. You pick three attractions (Gateway Arch, Forest Park, the brewery, whatever appeals) and three food stops—think barbecue joints and frozen custard stands—then a guide shepherds your group of 2–6 through the lot over 4 to 6 hours. Transport and food tastings are sorted; it's the kind of tour that actually lets you breathe between spots instead of rushing you through.

🐠 Water Activities

Lake Powell Boat Rentals

When Ben from our team hired a boat at Lake Powell, we grabbed one of their newer MasterCraft fleet for a half-day on the water. It's a sprawling reservoir straddling Arizona and Utah, dotted with red rock canyons and shallow bays that feel remote despite steady traffic from other boaters. You pick your marina, choose your start time, and essentially get the keys to explore — whether that's cruising narrow slot canyons, towing toys, or dropping lines for bass. The rental comes geared up with safety kit included, and they've got eight hull options depending on group size and what you're after.

NYC Private Walking Tour: Local Insights, History & Food

6 hours – 7 hoursfrom AUD $671

NYC Private Walking Tour: Local Insights, History & Food

When Jake from our BugBitten team did this six-hour NYC walking tour, we got the kind of insider knowledge that transforms how you see the city. Your guide brings three decades of New York living to the pavement—weaving together the architecture, neighbourhoods, and overlooked corners that make the place tick. You'll move between the leafy Upper West Side, Greenwich Village's crooked streets, Brooklyn Heights' brownstone rows, and the controlled chaos of Chinatown, stopping at landmarks like Central Park and Grand Central without the gloss of a standard tourist experience. It's a proper long walk, so come with comfortable shoes and realistic expectations about pace.

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $558

Saint Petersburg Scenic Segway Tour

When Noah from our team tried this St. Petersburg Segway tour, he got a real feel for downtown's waterfront stretch without wearing out his legs. You glide past 5 miles of parks and bayfront on a Segway i2, with a guide feeding local history and ecology through a personal headset — if you're keen, you might spot dolphins or manatees cruising past. The vibe is relaxed and touristy in the best way; you'll clock museums, bars, shops, and get a genuine read on the city's rhythm. Twenty minutes of training comes first, then you're off for just over an hour.

Western Horizons Hot Air Balloon rides

When Lily from our team booked a sunrise balloon flight with Western Horizons, she got a proper sense of the Southern Black Hills spread out below—rolling ridges, forested valleys, the lot. Based near Hot Springs in South Dakota, these flights launch at first light and drift for around an hour, though you'll spend 2–3 hours total with the crew handling prep, the flight itself, and landing. The experience feels intimate rather than touristy; you're packed into a basket with a handful of others, genuinely floating, not swooping or spinning.

Over The Rhine Cocktail Tour with Riverside Food Tours

🍹 Nightlife

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $154

Over The Rhine Cocktail Tour with Riverside Food Tours

When Charlie from our BugBitten team ran this Over the Rhine cocktail tour, we got a proper guided crawl through Cincinnati's historic German neighbourhood — not a cattle-herded bus situation. The guide actually knew the bars and the area's backstory, and steered us through four spots where we tried distinct cocktails and a couple of snacks. It's a Saturday night starter that reads like a mate showing you where they genuinely like to drink, paired with the neighbourhood's architectural and cultural bones. Two to three hours, manageable pace, good for groups keen on cocktails without the tourist-trap feeling.

The Badass Women of Old Wilmington: A Historic Walking Tour

🛕 Culture & History

The Badass Women of Old Wilmington: A Historic Walking Tour

When Ben from our BugBitten team did this walking tour, we got the real stories of Wilmington's women who bent the rules and made history—the ones usually missing from the textbooks. Steven S. Little, a local of 30 years, guides you through 90 minutes of tales about spies, witnesses, mansion owners, and champions. It's properly entertaining and grounded in fact, not the sanitised version you'd find on a plaque. The tour sticks to the streets of Wilmington itself, weaving between landmarks most visitors never connect to these lives.

Private Road to Hana Maui Open-Air Jeep Tour

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $1976

Private Road to Hana Maui Open-Air Jeep Tour

When Alex from our BugBitten team tackled the Road to Hana in an open-air Jeep, we found ourselves on Maui's most famous drive—a winding 7–8 hour loop through rainforest, past waterfalls, and along dramatic coastal cliffs. The route itself is the real star: narrow, dramatic, and dotted with natural pools and pull-off viewpoints. You'll stop at local food spots (your own shout), chat with a guide who knows the island's stories, and get time to wade into the landscape. It's less a tour, more a supported self-drive with someone who knows where the best views hide.

Private 2 hour Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Private 2 hour Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches

When Charlie from our team tried Maui Surfer Girls' two-hour lesson, we got a proper extended session on the water—something most Maui schools don't offer. It's a female-owned, co-ed operation with instructors who've been coaching for decades and clearly know their craft. The vibe is laid-back but focused, and you're in the lineup with a mix of ages and abilities. Two hours meant we actually spent time practising rather than just getting dunked and heading back to shore, which made the whole thing feel worth the effort.

French Quarter Walking Tour: Jackson Square to Bourbon Street

When Tom from our team ran this French Quarter walking tour, it delivered the kind of local storytelling that cuts through the Bourbon Street noise. Over two hours, the guide steers you from Jackson Square through Pirates Alley and past the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, unpacking the neighbourhood's literary heritage, Mardi Gras roots, and the actual people who shaped the place. The French Quarter itself is compact, walkable, and layered with history—you're moving through narrow streets lined with Creole balconies and colonial architecture, mixing with other curious travellers keen for substance over spectacle.

7 Line Waterfall Canopy Zipline Course

When Sarah from our team tackled the 7 Line Waterfall Canopy Zipline Course at Foxfire Adventure Park in Sevierville, Tennessee, she found herself whizzing between mountain laurel and rhododendron in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. The park stacks two distinct courses—one punches through the canopy high above the forest floor, the other offers those sweeping ridge views—with the centrepiece being a 60-foot rock wall climb and aerial obstacle gauntlet strung between towering pines. It's the kind of place where families and solo thrill-seekers mix, harnesses check out tight, and the waterfall you cross feels genuinely wild. Two hours doesn't feel rushed if you're fit and keen.

2 hoursfrom AUD $155

Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and The Bridge

When Charlie from our team took this walk, we traced Brooklyn Heights from tree-lined residential streets through Dumbo's cobblestone laneways and across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge—a neat 2.5-hour loop that works equally well whether you're seeing New York for the first or fifth time. The neighbourhood itself is genuinely handsome: 19th-century brownstones, a promenade with unobstructed views across the East River and Manhattan, and enough local history tucked into corners to keep things interesting. You'll move at a steady clip, and your guide (a licensed local, available in English or Italian) handles both the famous stories and the quieter details that give the place its character.

Backyard Shrimp Boil on Shem Creek

When Sarah from our team joined Captain Bryan on the banks of Shem Creek, we got a proper lesson in Lowcountry cooking — the kind locals have been doing for generations. You'll start with fresh shrimp ceviche using local catch, move through a competitive peeling round, then build the centrepiece: a proper boil loaded with shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. The whole thing happens in a food trailer with waterside views, and you'll eat what you've made in a relaxed setting. Two hours, small group, no pretence.

Mom and Pop Food Tour in Chinatown and Little Italy

When Em from our team ran this two-hour food tour through Chinatown and Little Italy, we hit five family-run shops in quick succession—the kind of places that have been doing one thing really well for decades. You start with a Hong Kong sponge cake and Thai tea, work through hand-made dumplings and a properly slow-cooked pizza, detour for aged cheeses and cured meats, and finish with cannoli that've earned their reputation. It's a tightly paced walk through two neighbourhoods that still feel like someone's actually living and working there, not just posing for photos.

9/11 Memorial at World Trade Center and Financial District Walking Tour

When Alex from our team did this 2.5-hour walk through lower Manhattan, it felt less like sightseeing and more like being trusted with something serious. Starting in Battery Park, you head toward Ground Zero with a local guide who weaves together the history of the Twin Towers—from their construction through to the attacks and the rebuilding that followed. It's a modest group size, which matters when the subject is this heavy. The route covers 1.4 miles at an easy pace, finishing at the memorial pools set into the footprints where the towers once stood. Not a cheerful tour, but a necessary one.

Manatee Watching Experience with Guaranteed Sighting

When Sarah from our BugBitten team tried this 30-minute manatee watching tour, she found herself on a calm waterway scanning for one of Florida's gentlest giants. The guides actually knew their stuff—they rattle off real facts about manatee behaviour and conservation rather than just pointing at the water. The kicker: they guarantee you'll spot one, or your next activity is free. It's the kind of short, focused outing that works brilliantly if you're already in the area and want a quick wildlife hit without a full-day commitment.

Chicago Haunts and Hooligans Tour

When Em from our BugBitten team joined this tour, we started at the atmospheric Harry Caray's Steakhouse in downtown Chicago and walked through the city's shadier corners with a costumed guide. The 90-minute loop traces bootlegger networks, speakeasies hidden in plain sight, and the violent tales still clinging to certain corners of the Windy City. You'll hear about murders, tunnel systems, and the ghosts—literal and figurative—that locals insist never left. It's a mix of genuine Chicago history and theatrical storytelling, best suited to those who enjoy a bit of morbid context with their sightseeing.

Downtown Sitka E-Bike Rentals

When Sarah from our BugBitten team rented an e-bike in downtown Sitka, she could cover way more ground than on foot and actually see what the area's about without the cruise-ship crowds. The electric assist means you're not knackered by the time you've gone a few kilometres, so you can spend the day poking around coastal trails, scanning for sea otters and eagles, and finding the quieter spots locals know about. You're self-guided with a map and route suggestions, which gives you real freedom to dawdle or push on as you please. Full day adventure through actual Alaskan scenery, not the sanitised version.

Skip the Line Mobile Carnival Museum Ticket

When Lily from our BugBitten team checked out this Mobile Carnival Museum ticket, she found a quirky slice of Americana spread across 14 gallery rooms inside a stately historic home. The place is stuffed with carnival memorabilia and oddities, housed in a building that's genuinely worth a look in its own right—crown moulding, original pine floors, proper chandeliers. It's a solid hour's wander if you're into that kind of curio-laden nostalgia. The grounds are easy to navigate, there's free parking on-site, and the skip-the-line ticket means you're not mucking about at the gate.

Axe-Throwing

When Mia from our BugBitten team tried Stumpy's Hatchet House, she found a proper social vibe attached to a straightforward axe-throwing setup. You and your group spend two hours learning to throw, then competing in casual rounds with other teams doing the same. It's the kind of place that fills quickly with work drinks crowds and mates out for something different — think warehouse with targets, good banter, and axes that actually stick. No fancy tricks, just the mechanics of throwing, a bit of friendly rivalry, and the small satisfaction of embedding steel into wood.

The Evel Knievel Experience in Las Vegas

When Lily from our BugBitten team checked out the Evel Knievel Experience in Las Vegas' Arts District, she found a surprisingly solid museum dedicated to America's most famous daredevil. The space is packed with the actual bikes, trucks, and gear from his career-defining stunts — including the Skycycle he launched across the Grand Canyon and the helmet from his infamous Caesars Palace jump. It's about an hour and a half of exhibits that genuinely convey the obsessive risk-taking behind the legend, with hands-on moments that keep things engaging rather than just glass-case viewing.

Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour from Anchorage

When Ben from our team ran this private glacier tour, we got a real sense of why Turnagain Arm punches above its weight just outside Anchorage. The Seward Highway hugs the coast for six hours of proper scenery—jagged peaks, tidal flats, and legit chances to spot moose, eagles, and Dall sheep without fighting crowds. Ben's pace called the shots: we stopped when something caught our eye, lingered where the light was good, and skipped the tourist traps. He played photographer too, which meant we actually got decent shots instead of selfie-stick disasters. It's the kind of tour that works if you're after flexibility over a fixed itinerary.

Chicago Shoreline Adventure Boat Tour

When Alex from our team took this Chicago shoreline jaunt, we got a proper thrill ride wrapped in local history. You're aboard a former military speedboat—built to handle rough seas and hit 35 knots—zipping past the iconic skyline while the skipper fills you in on the city's waterfront story. It's 90 minutes of speedboat adrenaline mixed with actual context about Chicago's past, which keeps it from feeling like a pure tourist rush.

Steamboat Springs Local Ebike Tour

When Jake from our team took this e-bike tour around Steamboat Springs, we got a proper feel for how the Yampa Valley flows — tree-lined streets, mountain backdrop, that clean Colorado air. The ride rolls you through old town with a local guide who knows the area's history and ecology, stopping for photos and the sort of landscape chat that actually lands when you're moving at pace. Three hours total, mix of cruising and gentle climbing. E-bikes do the heavy lifting; you pedal but don't exhaust yourself. Good for folks who've ridden before and want to cover ground without the leg-death of a regular bike.

Private 90 Minute Tiki Boat Tour on Fort Myers Beach

When Charlie from our team booked a private tiki boat on Fort Myers Beach, we got the whole vessel to ourselves—no strangers, no rushed itinerary, just our crew and a local captain keen to actually chat and point out what matters. Ninety minutes exploring the water around Fort Myers, whether you're after sunset, dolphins, or simply floating with mates and your own drinks. It's locally owned and run, which shows in the personal touches: they'll adjust the route based on what you want to see, the boat's got real space, and the BYOB setup is genuinely sorted.
