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.

There is no guarantee to see dolphins. We were planning for almost a year for a family trip and to take our nephew and finally when we took him to the boat ride it wasn’t what we expected. We were about seven of us. Perhaps it was the weather but it was a total bummer. :(

The crew was fantastic, everyone was friendly and made the experience enjoyable. We seen lots of dolphins right off the back but that didn’t stop the crew from ensuring the entire activity time was filled with excitement ensuring we got our moneys worth .
