Florida Family Getaways
The Little Toot is a dolphin adventure boat located in Clearwater, Florida. It is the only dolphin adventure boat that can venture into the shallows as well as the Gulf of Mexico to ensure you the best dolphin sighting experience.
They believe so wholeheartedly in their adventure programs that they ensure closer dolphin contact, and you are guaranteed to see dolphins on your trip or your next trip is free. Since it is also a Tug Boat, it can create waves in the wake that the dolphins like to play in and attracts more dolphins for your sightseeing pleasure.
The tour is a lot of fun for children. Not only was the boat itself straight out of a storybook, but the crew was very accommodating. It is assessable and interesting for passengers of all ages aboard, and nothing was overlooked- from comfort, (there was a place to purchase drinks and snacks and the seats were shaded to protect from the heat and sun) to safety. Riders won’t need to fret about anything- just enjoy the ride, and watch for dolphins and other marine life.
The scenery was lovely as we sailed along- seeing all sorts of ocean wildlife and birds. Taking this leisurely cruise through the scenic waters of the Clearwater Beach area was a very relaxing way to spend the afternoon. The weather was perfect, and sighting a dolphin is an unforgettable experience.
The boat captains work together to make sure you get to see what you came for- dolphins. If you don’t, they give you a voucher for a different cruise to try again, but not all is lost, regardless- you still got to spend the afternoon on the water. Parking was effortless- you go to the Little Toot hut and get a parking slip, and you can park for as long as you want to. There is almost no walk, so if you are traveling with kids or the elderly, you won’t have to struggle.

My 9 year old sister absolutely loves dolphins. Being in Michigan, she’s never been able to see one. It’d be great to be able to do so while they are in their natural habitat like this!

Clearwater is a great area. It’s not too far from Tampa where there is a ton to do, and you can even throw in a trip to see the mouse too!
