What Visitors Love
I truly enjoyed this experience. I went with my husband and daughter for both the dolphin tour and sunset tour. All of the crew is so nice and welcoming and makes you feel like family. Definitely a must do while in Clearwater.
Had an absolutely wonderful time with my friends and family on this cruise. Learned a lot about the Clearwater area, and we saw more dolphins than we could count. Would highly recommend. Staff was amazing, informative and super polite. 10/10
We had an absolutely fantastic time on The Tropics Boat Tours. From the moment we boarded, the staff was welcoming and organized, ensuring everyone was comfortable and ready for the excursion. The boat itself was well-maintained and offered great vantage points, which turned out to be essential because the wildlife did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins throughout the trip. It wasn’t just a quick glimpse; we saw several different pods playing and swimming near the boat, which was a huge highlight for everyone in our group. The crew seemed genuinely knowledgeable about the area and the behavior of the dolphins, adding some great context to what we were seeing. The overall atmosphere on the water was incredibly relaxing. Whether you are looking for a fun family outing or just a way to enjoy the coastal scenery, this tour is a perfect choice. Getting out on the water and seeing so many dolphins in their natural habitat made for an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area!
Great tour guides. Friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We saw a ton of dolphins. They positioned us beside the Sea Screamer tour because when it took off fast, the dolphins were sure to jump up behind them in the water. It was a great experience.
Great Dolphin-Watching Experience! We had such a great time on The Tropics Boat Tour in Clearwater! The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience enjoyable from beginning to end. The tour was very well narrated, with interesting information shared along the way. One of the highlights was their guarantee that we would see dolphins—and they absolutely delivered! We were so excited to see the dolphins out in the water and enjoy the beautiful views of Clearwater. It was a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend The Tropics Boat Tour to anyone visiting the area!
