What are people saying about Clearwater

Kristin_E, Aug 2026

Checked all the boxes on our wishlist!

Captain Chris was very professional, knowledgeable and easy going. We had a group of 6-two teens and two children and they LOVED it. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. All the kids wanted to do was find shells, snorkel and see the local animals. We found beautiful large shells and whole sand-dollars on Honeymoon Island and saw dolphins and a mother and baby manatees very close to our boat. Highly recommend this experience and captain!

Clearwater Dolphin Kayak Tour and Bird Island Adventure

Octavia_M, Aug 2026

Just do it!

My daughter and I enjoyed our kayak tour with Lucas with no beard lol. He told us there’s 3 Lucas’s so I thought I’d specify. I’ve only been kayaking once before so I’m a beginner and he offered to have my daughter on his kayak to make it easier for me. I really appreciated that because the water was kinda rough. We saw a few dolphins and a ton of birds on bird island. We attempted to snorkel out on the sandbar but it was to shallow. My daughter found some conch and someone from a nearby tiki boat found a hermit crab and let her have it. Lucas took some nice pictures of us and that was greatly appreciated because even though I had my GoPro I didn’t reach for my camera not one time because I was enjoying myself so much. 10 out of 10 I’d recommend :)

Dolphin spotting

We had a beautiful morning on the water with Albie. The water was calm. We learned a lot about dolphins, manatees, mangroves and birds. We got lucky and got to see a mama and baby dolphin jump right next to our kayak. It was a quick hi and bye as they popped up far away after that. Very cool experience and enjoyed the tour!

Excellent boat day

We had a wonderful boat day with Captain Eric. The weather forecast was a little unfavorable but he did a great job dodging the weather and finding us a great place to hang out for the morning. Second time we have booked with this company and have enjoyed both trips. Highly recommended.

Great day on the water

What an amazing experience! We did a half day trip with family. Capt. Nick was the best! He took us to some beautiful locations, pointed out cool spots, and was very accommodating for us. If/when we come back, we will book the fishing charter with him next time! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Sunset Cruise

Captain Steve and Christian were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We sat in the stern area, it was very comfortable and the views were amazing. We brought a bottle of Cabernet, they had a corkscrew and cups. There is also a large cooler with water and 2 buckets full of ice to bring whatever beverage you’d like keep cold. We had dinner before embarking. Then the Sunset cruise….beautiful!!! Definitely best part of our stay near Clearwater! They deserved the gratuity we gave them and more!

Great afternoon on the water

Albie was a great guide- full of knowledge about the area and the wildlife we saw. We were lucky to see several manatees, plus a few dolphins, one of which lead our way and showed off a bit for us! I was worried going into it that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but we went at a relaxing pace on the way out. It was more constant on the way back, but it wasn't a struggle. It was sooo nice being on the water. I would definitely recommend!
