Great Snorkeling Adventure
Went with Captain Grant and First Mate Olivia both of whom were great. While going to our first snorkeling spot Captain Grant spotted some dolphins and followed them. We got to see the pod swimming and catching fish, even saw them jumping out of the water to catch some fish. Found some good shells snorkeling. Found 3 conch shells. One was about 10 inches and still alive so let it go. Next 2 were smaller but also occupied so had to let them go as well. Captain Grant took us to several locations to maximize our experience. Olivia was very helpful with the masks, helping with the shells, taking pictures and making sure people had drinks and playing good music. A great team. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a dolphin fest! Saw a huge pod of dolphins, beautiful sunset and great crew. Highly recommend.
Terrific crew. Went out of their way to provide a great experience. We were lucky as the dolphins put on a show and the crew could not have been nicer. Went out of their way to provide a great experience.

We went on a family...
We went on a family excursion to see dolphins. Judy and the captain was wonderful to be around. It rained prior to us boarding but we were able to still see dolphins.

Dolphins and Sunset
This is a great Cruise. We have done the Dolphin Cruise and the Sunset Cruise many times. The Captain and crew are all very nice. Free drinks while aboard the boat. Make sure you get your Punch Card for a free trip after 10 rides.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Clearwater.
How much does Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Clearwater usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Clearwater is not rushed.
Is Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Clearwater, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Clearwater can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Clearwater and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dolphin Excursions , Sunset Tours and Snorkeling & Shelling Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Clearwater within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Clearwater?
+
Clearwater Beach fills its calendar with dolphin cruises, pirate-themed family sails, parasailing, jet ski tours around Caladesi Island and sunset trips off Pier 60. On Outty we rank every Clearwater experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Little Toot Dolphin Adventure at Clearwater Beach, Clearwater Encounters with Dolphins Tour, Clearwater Beach Parasailing Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Clearwater?
+
March to May and October to November for warm water without peak crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Clearwater?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
