Overview

Get up close and personal with our resident bottlenose dolphins on this fun-filled 2 hour tour!

Not only is there a possibility to encounter plenty of playful dolphins throughout the journey, but you may also catch sight of sea turtles, manatees (seasonal), eagles, osprey, and more! Our expert guides have an intimate knowledge of the island and can provide you the best possible views of these beautiful creatures in their natural habitats.

Experience the timeless charm of Anna Maria Island, as you travel along this seven-mile strip of pristine white beaches. Soak in the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf and the back bay as you coast through the crystal clear waters.

*We have a 6 passenger minimum for our public tours to leave the dock, in the unlikely event that we do not meet that requirement we will do our best to reschedule you or give you a full refund if your trip is unable to go out.*

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
