Single? Ready to mingle? If you’re looking for something more exciting than the usual drinks and awkward conversation first date, Ocean Florida is offering singles the opportunity to embark on an all-expenses-paid blind first date to Florida with their perfect match.

The couple chosen will be taking the nine-day trip over Valentine's week 2024. And, rather than swiping right on an app, expert matchmaker and founder of Ignite Dating, Michelle Begy, will pair the two lucky singles together so they can experience the time of their lives, and hopefully find love.

The trip, worth over £25,000, will include an extensive itinerary full of action-packed activities with the winners rating roller coasters, strolling down golden beaches, and soaking up the scenic views from above in a romantic hot air balloon ride.

Entrants must be UK residents aged 25-60, hold a full UK driving licence, be single, and be available to travel between 12th - 21st of February 2024. You’ll also have to be up for getting involved in all the adrenaline-packed activities, documenting your journey with a Go-Pro provided for the trip.

A trip of a lifetime, the two winners will travel in style with Virgin Atlantic, leaving from London Heathrow Airport and heading straight to Orlando. Staying eight nights in luxury villas and hotels, the singletons will get to enjoy all the Sunshine State has to offer - including visiting Anna Maria Island, testing roller coasters, and getting up close and personal with alligators at Gatorland USA.

There’ll also be jet skiing, a dolphin-spotting cruise, and much, much more! Explaining why activity-focused dates are so effective when looking for love, matchmaker, and founder of Ignite Dating, Michelle Begy, says: “Everyone dreads awkward silences on a date, so it can help to have activities planned where you can really get to know somebody better. Sharing an experience gives you plenty to talk about and can help you relax because you are both doing something you enjoy.

So, will it be love at first flight? To be in with a chance and for full T&C’s, enter here but be quick - entries close on December 31st.
