Cruise was fine but it did not last 2 hours as indicated on the website

Clearwater Dolphin Cruise

Fun day!

No complaints at all. Tour guide was fantastic

Dolphin watch

Fun, plenty of space on boat, friendly crew, nice coverage of gulf, easy boarding. Was pressed for time because it was a little difficult to find parking, someone in the parking lot mentioned asking for a voucher to park. Other than that, a great time

Dolphin search boat ride.

It was lots of fun the kids enjoyed it ….it’s prolly something I would do later in the evening next time it was a little hot on the 2:30 boat but over all it was awesome experience
