About this experience
This .6 mile round-trip walking scavenger hunt begins at the Poseidon sculpture and includes sights such as the Seawall, Convention Center District, Fort Crockett area and iconic sculptures including dolphins and a sea turtle! Help Poseidon find his trident! The Greek god of the seas has lost his trident as a fierce storm wreaked havoc on the island. The trident was broken in pieces and scattered. Local sea creatures and clues from the beach will help you discover the whereabouts of the pieces of the trident and return them to the proper owner before the power of the trident gets into the wrong hands. Because your phone is your tour guide and there is no time limit, feel free to take stops along the way. Enjoy all that Galveston has to offer - and discover a new treasure along the way! -Please see your Viator Ticket for redemption instructions after booking-

Software is to hard to figure out
I purchased this to do with our grandkids. No one in our party was able to figure out how to set up the app therefore we were not able to do the Treasure Hunt. Customer service was no help. While the idea is wonderful the execution is way too difficult. I would not recommend.
Response from the operator: We are sorry you were not able to complete your adventure. Our locally owned and family operated scavenger hunts are website based,, not an app. It’s easy to login and register, and we are here 24/7 to assist you.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galveston.
How much does Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galveston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galveston is not rushed.
Is Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galveston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galveston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galveston and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Finding Poseidon's Trident Scavenger Hunt start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galveston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Galveston?
+
Galveston handles Houston's cruise traffic plus its own island tourism: Strand history walks, ghost tours, dolphin boats in the ship channel, harbour transfers and beach days. On Outty we rank every Galveston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Historic Galveston Ghost Tour, Baywatch Dolphin Tours – Pier 21 Galveston, The Galveston Cemetery Tour - Walk With The Dead!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Galveston?
+
March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Galveston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
