Dolphin Encounter Cruise

Great cruise, especially for the price. Staff was funny and the snacks/​beer was very cheap. Got to see some incredible houses on the water while dolphins jump right next to the boat. The boat being completely shaded was a bonus as well.

So-​so. Dolphin sighting guaranteed, but as you’re in their natural habitat, they could be in the far distance or hard to see. The boat goes out to the Gulf, and it’s one of the larger (in size) dolphin tour boats in Clearwater. (It’s two floors) Staff is friendly and fun, nothing extra notable. After the trip you can purchase a family picture by the boat for $ 10. I think we would have seen more dolphins on one of the smaller sized boats, but no complaints. This might be a good option for those wanting to sit on the open upper level of a boat or on the other hand, on the lower level protected by windows. There are free drinks onboard and snacks to purchase. Additionally, you may be reminded (on the loudspeaker) almost a dozen times suggesting tipping the boat crew…
