5.00Nice eco tour in the Boca Ciega Bay. We saw three pods of dolphins, the first one very early in the tour. We stuck with them long enough to hear about how they live, why they live here, how they feed, how the young grow… The tour in the bay was pretty scenic too (much nicer than when you start from Clearwater or St Pete Pier). The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Pleasing background music between speeches and cold drinks available for a fee. As a local, I would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00We did a 11 o’clock cruise to see the Dolphins, which did not disappoint. We saw a pod of dolphins that were very active and entertaining. The captain and his assistant were very knowledgeable and personable ( sorry, I’m bad with names).
