- 721MarkL7210 contributionsBest of the best!It was AMAZING! We saw plenty of dolphins! The captain (James) went fast enough to make waves and the dolphins jumped up out of the water!! He also played the best music! We’ll DEFINITELY go again!Written August 26, 2024

- emrahg5130 contributionsAmazing experienceThat was amazing experience . We saw plenty of dolphins. They were chasing the boat, and jumping behind the boat. It was totally worth it the money we spentWritten August 24, 2024
- ericao9840 contributionsPlenty of dolphins to seeAmazing time! It was very evident that the captain and the deck crew had experience. There were 4 of us in our group and we all enjoyed our time. We got to see dolphins as expected. Lots of room to move around and or sit down. Affordable drinks on board. Restroom also available on board. Beautiful time. Go ahead and book the tour, you won't regret it.Written August 24, 2024
- elizabethsV4135LF0 contributionsIncredible company, honest and genuine, worth taking a trip with!Our first trip with the Little Toot company was after storm Debby had been to town and we stayed out well over the allocated time, as the crew searched for Dolphins. This boat trip alone around vast areas of the bay was wonderful! True to their word, if you don’t see any dolphins, you get another trip and this second one did not disappoint! There are bigger companies and much bigger boats in Clearwater but we really observed (and the crew pointed out) how much the dolphins appear to love the sound and recognise it, of the Little Toot boats and so are drawn to them (certainly over the bigger boats). What appears to happen then is the bigger boats jump on the “band-wagon” and follow or join in with the dolphins around this company. This did result in two incredible sightings of dolphins on our second trip as a larger boat sailed parallel to our LT boat and the dolphins played in the breakwaters in between. The crew observed how fabulous this was as so many dolphins came out to play. This trip was an incredible highlight of our visit and with easy parking, great and informed crew, we cannot recommend supporting such a company over the competition as truly, bigger is not always better!Written August 24, 2024

My fiancé and I came down to FL for a business trip, and wanted to find date ideas that were unique and fun. We picked the sunset tour at 4:45pm on 1/11, it was predicted to be gloomy with rain all morning and early afternoon, but the sky cleared up an hour prior to our tour with the most beautiful sunset. As soon as the captain pulled out of dock, we ran into our first family of dolphins, I happened to be in the back of the boat and got VIP views. Dolphins are super smart and playful, showing off with their jump stunts. Staffs were super caring and helpful, don't hesitate and BOOK the tour already!!!
Helpful tip: Make sure you check in at the booth once you parked at Marina, the staff will give you a parking code at $1/hr.

We visited Little Toot Dolphin Adventure in early November as a family of four (two adults and two children), and it was a delightful experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the dolphins—seeing them follow the boat and leap out of the water was truly magical and captivating for all of us, especially the children.
The boat ride itself was enjoyable, with friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. The team was knowledgeable, ensuring we made the most of the experience while respecting the dolphins’ natural habitat.
Overall, it was a fun and memorable adventure that we would recommend to families or anyone who loves marine life. If you’re in the area, this is definitely worth a visit!

There are many dolphin cruises to choose from, but Little Toot is the best one! First off, pricing is reasonable and it's the perfect time, 1 hour 15 mins (you don't need much more because you will see dolphins). We saw the other tour companies and boats - packed on there 100 people. Little Toot nicely fits 50, everyone has a seat. But wait....there's more! This cute tugboat creates a wake that the dolphins LOVE to play in! Other tour companies with 100 people, double decks where following us so their tour could see the dolphins tricks. It was nicely done, staff was very friendly and everything was very fun!

My daughter and I do an annual trip just for fun. This year we did Clearwater beach and the Little Toot tour was a great addition to our trip; my daughter loves marine biology so the many dolphin encounters was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone with children…drinks were available (yes alcoholic & non) but they were not the star of the trip (ie not a drinking cruise) & they were reasonably priced ($2 H2O & soda). The star of the show was the dolphins (plus several baby dolphins) and other sea creatures. Highly recommend!

We took a sunset tour on the last day of the year, and it's really an unforgettable experience! Our tour departs at 4:30, and in less than ten minutes we already saw a group of dolphins jumping out of water and interacting with the waves at the boat's rear end. The captain and crew members are very knowledgeable, providing us with interesting facts about dolphins and also Tampa in general. In the latter half of the trip we saw more dolphins and an amazing sunset. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see dolphins in Tampa. One more thing to keep in mind: try to take the seat closest to the rear end, that's where you'll see all the dolphins!

My family had a great experience on the the Little Toot II, we took the sunset excursion the last day of May 2024. We was thrilled to see the Dolphins jump and play in the waves from the boat, the more noise from the people on the boat the more the dolphins played! We was also delighted to get to watch the sun set while on the open Gulf of Mexico, while watching the sun set to the west, we also got to see a storm trying to brew with down spout clouds (pouring rain) to the south, and a small lightening show as our trip ended. Never will forget this experience!

I have seen dolphins in the intracoastal before but the way this boat creates waves makes them want to surf along them. We almost thought we weren’t going to see any. I still would have enjoyed the ride. It was a warm afternoon and with the 4:45 time slot we saw the sky changing and beautiful scenery. Once the dolphins found our boat and decided to play, it was simply magical. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how exciting it was to see them. Well worth the price and crew and the receptionist were all super nice and help fix

You can come back to the Marina for fun cruises on the Little Toot II and enjoy the dolphins who follow the boat wake and still leap on occasion just for fun. The crew is extremely informative and helpful if you need a drink,etc. There is no downside unless the weather changes and if necessary,refunds are given. Take your relatives and friends during the Holidays but make a reservation online,by phone or at the dock booth on the other side of the two story retail building.You can walk on the far side by the lot and enter via the middle of building.....

My husband and I went on a dolphin watching tour on Little Toot last week, and it was the highlight of our trip! At first I was worried that we wouldn't see any dolphins, but suddenly they appeared, swimming and diving in the wake of the boat. We were at the back of the boat, so it was super exciting to see them so close! The boat was nice, and the ride was smooth and not at all bumpy. The crew was great and informative, and made sure we had fun. It was a very reasonably price, and a fun outing that I would highly recommend! Be sure to get there early, as the marina parking lot fills up fast. Little Toot will give you a code so you can save on the price of parking.

The captain and the crew were amazing and friendly from the gentlemen checking in too! Sadly I can’t remember their names but we were there May 22 at the 7pm slot shout out to them. We saw a few dolphins come up to our boat but sadly none of them wanted to follow and jump the waves. We did the sunset time and the wonderful crew lady said it is mating season…jokingly they are busy and later in the day they may wanna chill out just like us. Regardless we got to see the full moon and beautiful sunset. Thanks ya’ll!! I recommend this tour over the other ones along Clearwater.

Do you go in the bay or open water? I ask as I get very seasick
Written May 1, 2022
We did go in the open water, but this little boat did not travel fast, so there wasn't much movement.

Can you just turn up on the day or do you need to pre book in advance?

You can show up and buy a ticket but it's a good idea to buy early as they book up quick.

Yes you can book in December, I know there was a week where you couldn't but there was open slots. I know there's nothing next year yet.

I have been on Little Toot 4 times. I have not seen a wheen chair. However, I suppose if the wheen chair could be carried 3 feet from the dock to the boat, it might be accommodated.
