Sanibel Island is a natural, peaceful, tropical retreat. But don't let that fool you into thinking that it is dull.
Those with a keen spirit of adventure can find plenty to do on the Island And for those seeking some hair raising activities, you will not be disappointed.
For starters, perhaps you might like to take a peek at the Gulf from a unique perspective.
There are several options in para sailing, including whether you want to go solo, side by side or as a three some. The launch is much less intimidating than other locales as you are lifted from a platform rather than from the water. The landing, too, is a bit less frightening. But regardless of your choice in seating and your ability to launch on dry land, the thrill is there. With no mountains or tall buildings on Sanibel or Captiva, your para sail experience will give you a view of the Gulf you won't find anywhere else!
And for those seeking thrills directly on the water, there are several deep sea and flats fishing charters on and around Sanibel. Fishing is quite good and these are not little fish we are talking about. Depending on the season, you'll be able to catch giant tarpon of an average weight of one hundred pounds and reaching two hundred pounds. Kingfish, Barracudas, Cobia, as well as Sharks and Tuna make for memories and pictures that last a lifetime.
There are many other ways on and around Sanibel to pump up your adrenalin from kiteboarding to kite sailing with huge kites that can knock you over and nearly carry you away. Stand up paddle boards, wave runners, banana boats and scoot coups are just a few more.
Flyboarding is now available at YOLO. Hover above Captiva Island waters. Safe, fun and exhilarating for all ages. Their certified staff will guide you along with an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.
