I booked the sunset dolphin tour and showed up 20 minutes early to park and make sure we were there on time. We called and asked them where we should go because the lot was crowded and we had no idea where the actual location was. We couldn’t see any signs for the place and Apple Maps and Waze both had different locations. So we just went to the marina to look for parking and spend 15-20 minutes circling the marina parking. We called them again and were told to park in 30 minute parking because the cops won’t tow us there just ticket us. We called Viator to get a refund and were informed we were told to show up two hours early in an email from the operators. I checked my email and finally found it in my promotions which I had shrugged off thinking it was an ad from Viator. That’s a Gmail issue not the operators though. Viator kept me on the phone for over 30 minutes telling me I can’t get a refund until it was suddenly approved because I was adamant on speaking to a higher up staff member. Showing up 2 hours early for an hour and a half tour in the Florida heat and having to wait around for the tour to start seems extremely unreasonable. Also the fact that you don’t get informed about the awful traffic or parking situation until after booking, there is no warning on the listing, and the email goes to promotions if you use Gmail seems kind of shady. Book at your own risk, I’m sure the tour is fun, I wouldn’t know though, but everything before the tour was miserable.

Through no fault of the tour operator, this was a sunset sail and dolphin watch with no sunset and no dolphins. Oh well, it is what it is! However, it would have been nice if their was more narration by the captain and the mate. Long periods of time with no one entertaining the passengers.

Had a great time watching the gorgeous sunset from the boat. We also saw several dolphins and the guides told some great stories about curses causing the hurricanes. Can't beat the price!

Had a beautiful, relaxing cruise with fins up!! My daughter & I really enjoyed ourselves watching the sunset on the water!!

There was a storm coming but we got out for a little and it was nice, staff was very nice as well. We did see dolphins and some of the sunset. Did not get to sandbar

Mark and Eliza were great boat captains and first mate, very entertaining! They ensured we had the best boat placement to view the key aspects of the trip! Eliza was so knowledgeable, but that’s to be expected since she “works at the aquarium”!!! lol!! Definitely recommend!!

Great little boat ride with good local details and easy ride for kids and family. Just the right amount of time out and back with snacks and drinks.

Crew was great. Only saw a dolphin a couple times quick when leaving the dock. Nothing as we went on. Didn’t go anywhere to see them. We thought we would see more dolphins & they would jump & play in the waves of the boat as advertised.

First Viator price was 30% higher than actual vendor, we didn't find even single Dolphin in the bay. It was cold windy and open boat was not suitable.

I’m on a boat line a boss So many dolphins jumping and blasting water out of they heads with good music, captain dude was stalking them dolphins like it was his job and the first mate, who I suppose was Australian because she was a mate, told us the history of every building and the tidal patterns as they affected the waterways and gravitational fields effects from moon position, especially after the hurricanes there’s big effects, and showed us the migratory bird sanctuary 1000s of birds swarmin as well as helped to get pictures for every one so support local businesses and tip. Not too crowded we all had seats and them dolphin jawns was lit for folk of all ages and profiles so go do the sunset cruise or day cruise they all worth it. Helps good working folks, helps support the environment and local communities to rebuild and prep for the next hurricanes.

This was a great experience! The crew was amazing. Beautiful ride and everyone worked hard to make sure you saw dolphins and had a good time.

Great 2 hour tour. Captain Aubrey and 1st mate Sid were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful tour of houses along the shore. 2tree island was a fun quick stop. Great time

If you like smaller more intimate crowds this is the experience. They can have up to 40 people on the boat but the experience was beautiful either way. Great insights of the city and yes we saw dolphins. We went on the 730pm ride.

We had a great time dolphin watching with Captain Aubrey & Landon. We spotted many dolphins and the visit to One Tree Island was enjoyable. We highly recommend this trip!
Regina_S, Jul 2024
Enjoyed our boat ride! Great crew, music, and donuts! We saw lots of dolphins. Would go again! There were a variety of ages kn board, kids to older adults. Getting on and off the boat was a big step but they were able to help if needed.

If you are looking for a wonderful tour of beautiful Clearwater Beach and surrounding area, this is the boat. We are local and what a great time we had. Dolphins, sea turtle and a huge sting ray jumped out of the water! The sunset was spectacular. Whenever we have company, you can be sure we will be a repeat customer!

200$ pour rien pas un seul dauphin et surtout entendre le capitaine dire c'est normal car l'eau est chaude donc ils sont plus haut en mer alors si tu sais qu'on va pas les voir pourquoi ne pas annuler pour la journée c'est le but de les voir non ? Et puis au moins si on les voit pas pourquoi nous laisser seulement 10 minute sur l'île... Faites quelque chose pour compenser un minimum... Bref super déçue je n'ai en fin de compte même pas vu clearwater vraiment...
