The Tropics Boat Tours

Good trip

Captain Josh and Andrew have the absolute best dolphin tours in Clearwater. Dolphins were swimming next to the boat... best time you will have in Florida. They might suck at disc golf but they are the best at boat tours in the area, showing you around the harbor and beyond!

Had such a wonderful time. Beautiful sunset cruise. Great time. Thank you

Do NOT buy a soda cup as had to wait for 20 minutes when boat was full and missed scenery.

The tour was well organized and managed. I mostly enjoyed the time spent in the gulf where we saw dolphins.

Was happy with the experience. One of the guys would give random info about the area that was neat but not overwhelming where you can’t enjoy the experience. The boat isn’t the prettiest but it gets the job done.

Barely saw an dolphins other than that super nice! Very friendly, enough space for everyone. Worth the cost.

Very fun! Nice crew and bartenders! I would recommend. Also a good value for the price. I would book again. Fun crew and knowledgeable about the area

We had a great time on our Sunset Cruise. Nice route, perfect weather. Crew were attentive and helpful. (We observed a situation with a child getting upset stomach, and staff went above and beyond the call of duty to help out.) Sunset was spectacular!

The pirate ship was amazing!!!!!!

The sound system in the boat was poor making it difficult to fully understand what the tour guide was saying regarding the areas we were passing.

We had a blast! Captain Jay and Chad and Andrew took great care of us. Andrew pointed out a lot of Clearwater info as we passed the coastline on our way out and back. And when we located some dolphins, they worked in tandem with another dolphin excursion so we could see them leap out of the water in the wake. Super chill and a beautiful ride!

It was fun getting a tour of the area around Clearwater before heading out into the Gulf of Mexico. It was so much fun being out on the water and even more exciting seeing the dolphins! The crew were wonderful and made it a great experience!

Took a relaxing boat ride for our anniversary on the Clearwater Bay and the Gulf of Mexico by Clearwater Beach. Saw many dolphins and enjoyed the sightseeing and people watching. Crew and Captain did a great job providing for a safe & informative afternoon on the water.

Perfect sunset cruise

We did a sunset cruise in Jan and it was awesome. We had a 2 year old, 3 year old and 4 year old but it wasn't a busy cruise so the kids got to run around a bit without being in too many people's way. We were on the top deck the entire time, it was amazing but windy and chilly. We had warm coats so we were perfectly comfortable. Sunset was beautiful, the guide had some interesting facts to share. I would recommend, even with kiddos in tow.

Magical sunset, thoughtful and friendly crew, fun entertainment on board. Thank you, Tropics Boat Tours!

Got the city pass, and did the sunset cruise..was cloudy but saw many dolphins...had a great time..

We had a lovely trip on this, we booked it through our city pass. The staff were nice. We did see a small pod of dolphins but the whole experience was excellent. If we never saw the dolphins we would have been delighted too. We saw the beautiful homes set around the water banks. Beautiful visions of grandeur we could never afford but wouldn't even if I could. The scenery was lovely. I enjoyed it

We absolutely love this cruise! The cost is one of the lowest in the area. The staff is so friendly and their drink packages are so affordable with all you can drink beer for only 14 bucks!!!!This is a must when in the Clearwater area!

We had a blast! My granddaughters saw so many dolphins maybe the day... the crew of 3 were great a little windy day but no fears because of the size of the boat... staff was polite and entertaining... we booked this trip through tampa bay city pass ... although on board purchases for drinks and chips my only regret was I had no cash to tip the hosts. Thanks for a great experience

Crew was so professional. Relaxed atmosphere, drinks available, and the crew gave us informational commentary throughout.

This was a nice ride. The weather was not very nice the day we went - very windy and cold (01/13/2023). The staff was nice and had funny dad jokes lol We did see about 4 dolphins in the bay. We did not make it out to the Gulf b/c of the weather. They were out of some drink mixes for the ride but that was fine as it would have just made me more cold. I would recommend this trip again although maybe not on a bad weather day.

Amazing time on the Tropics Boat Tour! All the staff members were amazing! Saw awesome sites of the Clearwater area and dolphins!

Very friendly crew and nice experience

Very nice experience

Great Captain and Crew which made the trip an outstanding experience - we saw lot's of dolphins!

Great tour! The guide was great and I would recommend this tour for anyone!

Awesome experience! We saw a pod of dolphins multiple times and got a fun history of properties on the island.

The crew working here were all nice and friendly. They took us out the marina and showed us some of the sights. When we got out to the Gulf the dolphins made a nice appearance! They were jumping out of the water! As it was closer to sunset we were out pretty good into the Gulf. We got our glass of champagne and after seeing the green flash we cheered the sunset. It was neat coming back in and seeing the buildings start to light up along the shore. I was nervous about being out that far on the water, but it was an incredible experience that I would most definitely do again!!

Amazing time will definitely be returning crew was amazing Chad the bar tender was top notch

If you’re on vacation and trying to kill time,m I highly recommend this. It was my favorite activity in the week I spent around Tampa/Clearwater area. Purchased with the city pass which is also worth it for a good time. The captain and the crew were great people and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks guys.

Great ride around Clearwater. Saw dolphins and fabulous views of hotel sand private residences. Inexpensive and worth the experience.

When i first got there, i was a lottle hesitant about the boat. It isnt exactly beautiful compared to some other water crafts. But they really are worth every dime. We had mde our reservation before we arrived. We had absolutely no trouble getting on. Simply showing the ticket on the phone. We started slow but we did see some dolphins in the water at a distance. The captain & crew made sure that we got a close picture of some dolphins. They even joined a another company in getting to see the dolphins jump. The dolphins was so close if i had reached out i could have touched one. Toward the end of our adventure, they told a little history of the beautiful mansion along the coast line. They do serve alcohol & have other beverages & snacks. No one was out of control. I would say family friendly way to spend an afternoon. I had shot a video of the dolphins. Sorry i cant download them! Go! See them for yourself. Its a trip you will never regret it!

Great experience reasonably priced knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Plenty of 🐬 even a tour with famous peoples houses. Great time out on boat

Amazing tour worth every penny! Good drinks, music and guide tour man. I was celebrating my birthday and they made it special. Pay extra for the drink package, worth it. I would I come back anytime!!

We took the sunset boat tour and it was an awesome experience.

Great Experience kind Staff Chad was so professional Kind to me and my Family we appreciate it very much..Thanks again

The sights were outstanding. The sunset was breathtaking. The boat was comfortable and not crowded. Drink specials were outstanding and worth the price of admission.

Staff was very nice and informative! Views were great. This was a nice relaxing way to spend our first evening in Clearwater.

The staff was friendly and professional. They made it fun even though it rained.

Beautiful sunset! Great staff.

From the smooth booking process to the knowledgeable and friendly crew, the sunset cruise for our family was awesome. We got to see plenty of dolphins out in the Gulf of Mexico and the sunset was just breathtaking. The complimentary champagne that was provided to toast the sunset was a nice touch.

Crew were friendly and knowledgeable, drinks were delicious, sunset cruise was beautiful. Great value and a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!

It's a 2-hour tour with music or narration. You see beautiful skyline of Clearwater beach. We did see dolphins, but they weren't overly visible. Enjoyable boating trip because the weather was pleasant. Convenient Marina parking discounted for customers. Restaurants located nearby.

Had a great time on our cruise! Friendly crew, great drink packages, and we saw loads of dolphins!! Wonderful experience, highly recommend!!

We saw so many dolphins! It was a really fun cruise. The captain and his crew were all nice. It’s neat that they offer various drink packages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) or you can buy drinks ala cart. Bartender made great margaritas! There’s two heads on the boat. They were kept clean the entire cruise. There’s plenty of seating inside and out with lots of standing room too.

Entertaining tour guides, relatively clean boat, and decent drink prices. Could use some more/better seating.

Enjoyed a leisurely cruise and saw plenty of dolphins. Nice friendly crew.

We had so much fun on this trip. We saw so many dolphins. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time on this boat tour! The staff were so awesome, we learned a lot about the area, the drinks were so good and the boat was very clean as well. I would recommend this boat tour to anyone!

The tour was everything they advertised. We could understand the person commentating and he was very knowledgeable. It was a great excursion!

We had a great experience and it’s worth the moneyThe Dolphins were amazing!The crew of the tour were very nice and friendly

This slow moving double deck boat will take you through the channels and about half mile out in the Gulf of Mexico. As you work your way back in through the channels, you may not have seen a dolfin yet, but fear not, they know an area in the channels that the dolfin frequent. Keep an eye out, we even saw a shark at one point.

Was great experience. WE SAW A POD OF Dolphins with a baby. The experience was wellworth our time.

This tour was just right for what we were looking for, which was a peaceful sunset cruise with the hopes of seeing beautiful scenery, a gorgeous sunset, and dolphins. Short and sweet, around 2 hours. They offer a wide drink selection and a great crew with just the right amount of energy and commentary, no cheesy crowd involvement or awkward moments, just class and knowledge. We saw about a full hour of dolphins from all sides of the boat and a gorgeous sunset. It was a smooth ride, left on time and was well worth the money. Highly recommend if you are looking for a chill cruise with cool people.

Had a great time, the only thing I was disappointed with is when I filled out the info online, one of the questions if we were celebrating anything special and i put on the form we were celebrating our 40th anniversary and was hoping they would announce it to surprise her, but it wasn't announced. They did announce a couple of birthdays, so I must have been overlooked. Thanks for the tour though, everyone was very friendly and would recommend to others. Mark

Had an amazing sunset cruise with the family. Staff was awesome and made the evening very enjoyable.

Great atmosphere seen dolphin 🐬

Una puesta de sol muy linda, servicio bueno

Easy process from start to finish. Boat was exactly what we expected and met all our needs. Drinks were delicious and fairly priced. We had a terrific time and would recommend to anyone.

Great tour. Great guides and lots of dolphins!

Great times

Great crew and views! Dolphins guaranteed!

The guys running this are great. Lots of information about the area and the dolphins. Seeing the dolphins up and close was an amazing experience. The boat ride is also nice and relaxing.

I would recommend the sunset cruise to anyone in the Tampa area. Dylan and Ryan were very friendly and helpful. They recommended bars and restaurants in the area on top of giving wonderful customer service. The views were spectacular. The tour itself was very informative. Drinks were available onboard, decently priced. There were no snacks. Luckily, I found last-minute parking across the street. I would recommend coming early for parking if you are driving. Nevertheless, great experience!

Friendly staff and lots of dolphin spotting

Crew was awesome, saw some dolphins excellent cruise

Very nice cruise. It was sunny and 88 degrees. Couldn't have picked a better day. The whole crew was very nice.

We loved the friendly, knowledgeable crew and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin watching and boat ride.

Very good I had a very nice time

Very nice outing (we got to see THE GREEN FLASH as the sun set!), but I do have one suggestion: the tour guide needs to pull back on the "radio DJ" announcer voice.

We had a great time and seen so many dolphins. Staff was extremely friendly

Fun experience for my husband and I! The crew was great Bartender made awesome drinks

Lovely tour, thank you!
