Itinerary
Come join us on a fun filled, narrated sightseeing tour of Clearwater’s harbor. Enjoy a relaxing ride while you learn about our abundant wildlife, and view the area’s dolphins in their natural environment. Every trip stops at Compass Island where you can collect shells, swim and the kids can even hunt for treasure! Excursions depart from the Clearwater Beach Marina multiple times every day. Spend an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes with our highly trained crew in the Clearwater Harbor on board our brand new 40 foot Coast Guard inspected excursion boat. For twenty to thirty minutes during your trip, the boat will stop at Compass Island where you will have the opportunity to shell hunt through thousands of shells, swim and enjoy the island.

We had a wonderful tour this morning on the Encounters with Dolphins boat. We saw dolphins and had a visit to the tiny island. A special thanks to Sierra and Kaitlin who were a wonder captain and first mate. We would highly recommend it.

About Clearwater
Clearwater, on Florida's Gulf coast, is a beach town on a barrier island of white sand and warm shallow water, close to Tampa Bay.
Clearwater Beach is on a barrier island reached by causeway from the mainland city of Clearwater, west of Tampa on Florida's Gulf coast. Its fine white sand slopes gently into warm, shallow water. Pier 60, at the heart of the beach, holds an evening sunset celebration with street performers and craft stalls, and a nearby marine rescue centre cares for dolphins and sea turtles.
