What To Expect
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.

We didn’t see dolphins

2.00We didn’t see dolphins today. Obviously not by fault of the tour company. But we were kind of bummed about it because it was the highlight of our trip. Although they offered us a free future tour, it was useless because our flight home leaves tomorrow morning and we won’t be visiting Clearwater again anytime again soon. I’m very upset. Less than two hours on a very old boat just circling the marina. It was painfully boring. :(
Good time

5.00Had a great time looking for dolphins with my family! It wasn’t super crowded, thankfully, so we didn’t have to squeeze for a view. We def saw dolphins and even got to see a bird carry a fish off for lunch! A storm came as soon as we docked so they allowed us to stay aboard until it cleared, and they played some cute songs to match the weather. Would recommend.
The best!!!!!!
