About this activity

Explore Tampa's waterfront at your own pace on a self-guided smartphone walk of about 2.6 miles and 90–150 minutes. Across 25 itinerary stops, pass Sparkman Wharf, the Tampa Bay History Center, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, the Tampa Museum of Art, and Armature Works. The route runs from the cruise-terminal area to the north end of the Riverwalk near Armature Works.

GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach each location, while a live map shows the route and your position. Download the tour over Wi-Fi before setting out for offline use, then start when you like, pause at your own pace, and try the optional location-based trivia.

This is primarily an outdoor, exterior-view experience with no in-person guide. Attraction admission, food, rentals, and interior access are not included. Nearby venues may be closed, and events, weather, or construction can alter paths without preventing the audio tour.
