Clearwater Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

So much fun, a nice way to cool off on a hot day, plus we saw a bunch of dolphins! They let the group choose the music and the guides were tons of fun!

It was great we even got dolphins that swam straight up to the tiki boat it was amazing great bang for the buck

Must do !! Great food and educated! I will be doing it again and done it a few times while I was there in a week it was so great.

Dom and Kira provided my wife and I with a wonderful experience. They were professional and polite, and kept everything under control.

Crew and experience were top notch. We wanted dolphins and we got them a plenty. Would 100% go again.

We booked to do this in August during a 3 day mini stay in Clearwater before heading to Orlando. Easy to book and found the tkt booth with no problems. The crew were super helpful and friendly and do a great family photo before boarding. S A great hour on the speedboat with really great informative commentary from the skipper. Talked all about the area, where the dolphins would be and their habitat and ensured we saw loads of dolphins. Loved it when he backed the boat up and gave it full throttle so the dolphins would jump out the water in the boats wake. Even better they sell iced cold drinks and a decent price. Fully recommend this trip if you like boats, dolphins or both.

Kira and Harrison were so much fun and really helped ease our nerves. They made sure we had fun and kept us safe while doing so. We will definitely be requesting them again next time! The only negative was having to come back to the boat.

Chris was an amazing captain. Truly gave me and my friends the best experience for a great cost. Very knowledgeable of the Clearwater area and his boat was very comfortable. We will definitely be rebooking with Chris!

We thought the food was good and the whole thing felt festive and fun. Get to the boat about 30 min ahead of the start time because the buffet and drinks will already be up and it's nice to start the meal early.

The dining doesn’t come with the boat ticket it’s separate , other than that I had an amazing time drinks,dancing,fine dining, and an amazing view of the water from all floors

It was hot out i wasable to put my travel bag af the main area with a lady they had outside cooling for us the staff was everything oriented the captain took us to so many dolphins n a manateethe lady on boat was very informative n great hist everyone was thrilled

Amazing experience, the crew are very friendly and we were gifted a wake wave from another boat to encourage the dolphins to give us a show and boy did they!! My first dolphin experience and it did not disappoint

Not walker or wheelchair friendly but we saw plenty of dolphins got great pics the first mate used my camera and took picks for me

We had a great time on our 5 pm departure dolphin excursion. Saw a group of dolphins very quickly and very close. Enjoyed spending some time on the island. Our captain and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Encounters with Dolphins Tour.

Booked en route to Clearwater Beach from Orlando. Easy to book & confirmation was instant. Parked above surf shop in Clearwater 20$ all day. Easy to find ticket booth for seascreamer. Set off just after noon & had great hours trip on the boat . Saw Clearwater Beach & beyond with guided information along the way. Dolphins a plenty followed the boat too. If you are in Clearwater with kids get this trip on your agenda.

Very nice cruise and dining experience. All the staff were very courteous and helpful. Menu was good and food matched. Even danced a few songs on the dancing deck. DJ was adaptive to the crowd’s vibe.
