The experience

Clearwater Beach is where the tour departs, and the boat heads out onto the Gulf to find dolphins. Your guide provides live commentary on the area's wildlife and history as you cruise, pointing out what's moving in the water and explaining the marine life you encounter. The tour promises dolphin sightings, so if the water's empty that day, you know what you came for.

The boat runs about 90 minutes, long enough to get offshore and search without eating up your whole afternoon. Coolers with ice sit onboard if you bring drinks or snacks, and there's a bathroom, so you're not stuck for the duration. The tour takes families with small children (infants can come if they stay on an adult's lap), and it's built for people of any fitness level, so there's no climbing or endurance test involved.

Book directly with Flippers Fun Boat Tours. Sunset cruises and private charters are also available if you want a different time or a group setup.
