The Little Toot Dolphin Adventure was a great experience. The staff was wonderful, the views were fantastic, and we were treated to a great show of jumping dolphins as well as a large group of manatee! I would highly recommend this dolphin tour. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to doing it again when I return to Clearwater!

Everyone who works there (even those not on the boat) couldn’t have been any kinder & helpful. The captain & I believe her name is Sherry were a joy to be with. They were very informative and entertaining. The trip was wonderful & it brought tears to a couple of us in our group seeing the dolphins jump & play . Oh and the music was great too! A friend recommended Little Toot to me and I will for sure recommend to others.

Little toot is the Best dolphin tour for the price. Best experience we had in Clearwater Beach

ANTONIO_G, Nov 2026
Was in town for my wife’s b-day and anniversary. We were staying at the opal sol. I have to say we’re pleasantly surprised. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Best activity we’ve done during our stay in Clearwater. They had a restroom on board that was clean and decent. You will not be disappointed with the little toot so cool. Can’t wait to visit again. We did another boat activity that was very popular but the toot stole the show. The dolphins love this boat they must know the crew and recognize the boat they loved us passing through.

Did the 3pm tour. Great...

Disney to dolphins

Rachel_N, Oct 2026
We travelled from ‘Disney’ to Clearwater to have a break from the Disney mayhem and to see the dolphins and it was well worth it. The little toot tour was so much fun. The skippers are brilliant. So friendly and have so much info on the area.

Great time on Little Toot II

Little Toot your destination for a perfect ride

Theresa_E, Oct 2026
It is perfect for a very pleasant and scenic ride filled with various antics of the dolphins. We really enjoyed this venue because of the wonderful staff who entertained us with stories about the dolphins and loved the small sized boat rather than some of the larger ones with many more tourists! Thanks!

Captain (I think his name is) Ron and first mate Sherri were so fun and knew so much about the area and the dolphins. The dolphins were having fun and jumping in the wake, even got to see calves jumping! I’d highly recommend doing this, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for an amazing time!

Great Activity to Have

Sandie_B, Jul 2026
It’s a fun trip! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I was able to see dolphins and they played the best music ever!

Would recommend. But use Parking Garage instead of the Marina lot

Jesse_M, Jul 2026
First of all, we were not able to find parking in the Marina Parking lot. So we missed our tour. As I was smh bc we missed our tour. I get a call from ‘Lil Toot’. He asked if I was going to make it. I said I can’t find a parking spot. And offered us to go on the next tour. We were so pleased bc it was our second time on the tour. Although the dolphins weren’t as active as the first time around. We still had fun.

The Best

Rebecca_M, Jul 2026
It was an amazing experience, with the best crew and we saw 2 different species of dolphins and they swim right up to the boat.

Awesome

Jesse_M, Jul 2026
It was awesome when the dolphins right behind the boat when we speeding away. I would totally go back and do it again.

We only saw a few...

Ryan_M, Jul 2026
We only saw a few dolphins. We had to head back early because a thunderstorm was coming in and they did not offer any compensation for it.

Awesome. Its a must go.

Felicia_B, Jul 2026
Its everything and more. I think the surprise was with kids was the prices of things to drink. They where great. Maybe me feel they want you to give the best around experience. The dolphins chasing the boat is something to see.

Highlight of our family vacation!!

Tabitha_M, Jul 2026
What an awesome experience!! Rob and Ed were awesome!! Very knowledgeable about the area, the dolphins and were able to answer all my questions. They worked so hard to make sure we saw dolphins and have the best experience as possible! They did not disappoint!! Boat was super clean as well! Thanks for making this tour the highlight of our family vacation!!
