Overview

Get up close and personal with our resident bottlenose dolphins on this fun-filled 2 hour tour!

Not only is there a possibility to encounter plenty of playful dolphins throughout the journey, but you may also catch sight of sea turtles, manatees (seasonal), eagles, osprey, and more! Our expert guides have an intimate knowledge of the island and can provide you the best possible views of these beautiful creatures in their natural habitats.

Experience the timeless charm of Anna Maria Island, as you travel along this seven-mile strip of pristine white beaches. Soak in the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf and the back bay as you coast through the crystal clear waters.

*We have a 6 passenger minimum for our public tours to leave the dock, in the unlikely event that we do not meet that requirement we will do our best to reschedule you or give you a full refund if your trip is unable to go out.*

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Anna Maria Island Dolphin Sightseeing Adventure?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
