On Sunday, we took the Dolphin Racer out of South Pasadena based on my niece's recommendation from…read moreher trip a few weeks earlier--and it did not disappoint! From the moment we boarded, the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. The music playlist was perfect for a day on the water, and the crew (Matt and JC) kept the energy going the entire trip. The highlight, of course, was the dolphins. They showed up right on cue and put on an amazing show, swimming alongside the boat and giving everyone plenty of opportunities for photos and memories. This was a fantastic experience for all ages, and we had so much fun. We will definitely be doing it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outing on the water!

We booked the Dolphin Racer tour today 07/03 for our whole family. The tour lasts about 1.5 to 2…read morehours. The weather started out nice, but it became very hot as the trip continued. The dolphin sightings happened in the middle and again toward the end of the trip, for a total of about 10-20 minutes. That was definitely the highlight of the experience--our kids really loved seeing the dolphins. However, between and after the sightings, there was a lot of walking on the beach under the hot sun. The walking felt long and tiring, especially for the kids, and there was no shade. During the tour, an elderly woman also started feeling unwell due to the heat, and an ambulance was called to assist her. Overall, while seeing the dolphins was a wonderful experience, I would recommend preparing for a long amount of walking and strong sun exposure, especially for families with young children or elderly guests.

My Mom and I took Island Boat Adventures' Egmont Key tour on a Saturday, and it was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip! From start to finish, Captain John and First Mate Jennifer were outstanding hosts. They made everyone feel welcome and ensured passengers boarded and exited the boat safely at every stop. The tour included two stops at beautiful Egmont Key. First, we had the opportunity to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear, warm Gulf waters. The snorkeling was fantastic, and it's easy to see why this area is known for its abundant marine life. Our second stop gave us time to explore the island's pristine beaches, nature trails, and fascinating history. Egmont Key is a true gem of the Tampa Bay area, with stunning scenery and plenty to discover. Throughout the trip, Captain John and Jennifer shared interesting facts about the island, local wildlife, and the surrounding waters. They went above and beyond to make sure we had memorable wildlife encounters. On the ride back, they helped us spot several dolphins, and we were incredibly lucky to see three manatees! Captain John carefully maneuvered the boat to a respectful and safe distance, allowing us to enjoy the rare experience of observing these gentle animals in their natural habitat. What impressed me most was the crew's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for showing guests the beauty of the Gulf Coast. After more than 15 years of leading tours to Egmont Key, they clearly know how to create a fun, safe, and unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Island Boat Adventures to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

There were only 27 passengers, so we had lots of room to move about. Right out of the dock, we had dolphins swimming behind us, which was awesome. The sun finally came out of the clouds and we got some nice views. Lastly, we went under the Skyway Bridge which was lit up and beautiful. The staff were super helpful the whole trip. They offer beer, wine, soft drinks and water for purchase as well as a few snacks. There is seating on different levels, front and back. The Captain did a great job piloting the ship so we all felt comfortable.

Our guide was great, she kept a close eye on everyone even provided some extra care for a handicap person In our group. Unless you have a very large party you will be with others keep that in mind when they ask you to get there early others will be waiting for you, plan your trip in advance to be considerate of others in your party! If you wear sunscreen bring it it's pretty sunny and I recommend a hat, water, and sunglasses. We had a good day and would recommend. The glass bottom kayak has the potential to be cool if the opportunity to see stuff arises but they may be a little more difficult than the regular kayaks and in most places it's very shallow so there isn't much going on to view. It's kind of a bucket list thing, I don't think it's more than a one time thing for us but it was worth the afternoon to have done it. I'm not gonna lie I like boats with motors.
