Our Dolphin Exploration Tours last approximately two hours and will take you from Clearwater Bay out Clearwater Pass on the beautiful emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico (weather permitting) in search of the Sun Coast’s favorite…the Bottlenose Dolphin. In addition to offering Guaranteed Dolphin Sightings, your Captain will highlight some fascinating facts about the natural wonders our Gulf Coast offers as well as point out celebrity mansions along the way. The tour offers something for everyone, including educational information on our area and our wildlife, and optional drink upgrades including unlimited beer and soft drinks for the adults! Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! We ask that all guests check in to our booth 45 minutes prior to tour departure time. We begin boarding our tours 15 minutes prior to departure and always leave on time. We cannot wait for anyone who isn't there by departure time. The Guarantee: In the unlikely event we do not see dolphins during the tour, you will be able to take another dolphin tour free of charge at a later time. Drink packages purchased during the original tour are not refundable and do not apply to your next dolphin tour.

I had an incredible time and the staff was amazing. They were all super friendly, informational and even thru in some jokes. I really enjoyed myself and the prices was very reasonable for the experience! Highly recommend if you’re on a vacation alone or with your family! I’ve been spreading the word with folks at the hotel I’m staying at

We had a great time on the water and seen so many dolphins we were surrounded by them! We would use them again!

The staff wasn't friendly. They were micro managing every little detail. They kept saying your riding with us so it our rules. You can always leave if you want to.
