Worth the trip!! - The crew was outstanding. We got up close and personal with some dolphin jumped off the boat at a shell island and cruised the mile of the rich and famous. Great weather. We were able to be shaded for the whole trip and the boat was easy on easy off. Smaller group made for a more personal experience.

Dolphins and Shell Island - Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, they went out of their way to help us by calling and assisting us with parking information. The boat ride was very nice and we saw families of dolphins that came very close to the boat because the captain was very respectful of these creatures. Great Time!

Great dolphin sightseeing cruise! - We had a terrific time! Captain Alycia and First Mate Jessica were top notch - personable and knowledgeable. The young man at the sales booth was polite and compelling w/o being overbearing. I wound highly recommend the experience.

Not just a dolphin tour! - Great tour! The crew was awesome and made us laugh. Not only did we see dolphins, we stopped at a small island, and looked at some beautiful houses on the way back. I would definitely do this tour again!

Amazing Experience! - The women providing the tour were amazing! My children were the only ones on the boat, but they answered their questions and listened to them. They even drove an area with pelicans because my son wanted to see them. They also stopped and picked up an empty bottle of juice out of the water. They talked about the importance of caring for our environment and walked that truth by taking trash from the ocean. I highly recommend this company and tour!

BOMB EXPERIENCE!!!! - This experience was by far one of the best I’ve ever been on. The Cap and her assistant were beyond amazing, kept us safe, super entertained and made sure we saw more than enough dolphins. We 100% recommend this trip and especially for the price! We can’t wait to make another trip to Clearwater just to take this tour again! 🩵
