Activities for Free in Palm Beach

Judy — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:28:25 +0100

Everyone loves a good deal, especially when that means Free! Palm Beach may be the home of the most wealthy folks in the world, but there are many activities in Palm Beach that won't cost you a dime. First of all I recommend a walk (or bring your bike) on the North Lake Trail. Starting at The Society of Four Arts by the Lake Worth Lagoon, head north past the Royal Poincianna Chapel and the 200 year old Kapok tree and see the spectacular Flagler Museum, built by Henry Flagler in the early 1900Read More...

Sightseeing in Palm Beach with DivaDuck - Then Lunch!

Judy — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:30:27 +0100

Customers tell us quite often of good restaurants and good deals in the area around downtown West Palm Beach. Typically, a group of passengers will either go to breakfast and then do the DivaDuck or they will go sightseeing with DivaDuck and then have lunch in the area. Two of the many wonderful restaurants I'd like to recommend to you are Bellagio at CityPlace and Forte on Clematis Street. These are both very good (if not excellent)!

Winter Olympics 2010

Judy — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:48:53 +0100

Now that the Olympics are over, I am reminded how fortunate we are to live in a warm climate. Although the mercury may dip to 40 degrees occasionally, one fact remains it will always get warmer in South Florida! The weather today is perfect for a sightseeing tour on the water. The Manatee have been very visible the past few weeks and we have also had regular Dolphin sightings on most of the morning tours.
