Good to know
• Check-in time for the tour is 45 minutes prior to the departure time
•If you have found parking in the Clearwater Marina Parking lot, follow the instructions on the pay station and pay for 30 minutes of parking for $0.50. Then proceed to the ticket booth to receive a daily code that will allow you to purchase up to an additional 8 hours of parking for $1/hr. You will need to return to the lot to purchase the additional time so please allow ample time for this.
Once the code is used you will not be allowed to extend your time so make sure to pay for plenty of time should you decide to do an activity after your tour. You do not need to print the ticket. Note: You are not allowed to park in ANY 30 minute only parking spots or load zone parking spots.

Our Dolphin Exploration Tours last approximately two hours and will take you from Clearwater Bay out Clearwater Pass on the beautiful emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico (weather permitting) in search of the Sun Coast’s favorite…the Bottlenose Dolphin. In addition to offering Guaranteed Dolphin Sightings, your Captain will highlight some fascinating facts about the natural wonders our Gulf Coast offers as well as point out celebrity mansions along the way. The tour offers something for everyone, including educational information on our area and our wildlife, and optional drink upgrades including unlimited beer and soft drinks for the adults! Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
We ask that all guests check in to our booth 45 minutes prior to tour departure time. We begin boarding our tours 15 minutes prior to departure and always leave on time. We cannot wait for anyone who isn't there by departure time.
The Guarantee: In the unlikely event we do not see dolphins during the tour, you will be able to take another dolphin tour free of charge at a later time. Drink packages purchased during the original tour are not refundable and do not apply to your next dolphin tour.
