Clearwater Beach Day Trip from Orlando with Optional Sea Screamer or Deep-Sea Fishing
Orlando, United States of America
Escape the hustle and bustle of Orlando with a day trip to Clearwater Beach. Your relaxing day on Florida's west coast comes with a lunch voucher and the option to join an additional activity on offer at Clearwater. You can upgrade to include a 1-hour speedboat ride aboard the ‘Sea Screamer’ or a 4-hour deep-sea fishing trip. Or simply hang out all day, enjoying miles of sugar-white sand and sparkling sea.
After pickup from your hotel, head to Florida’s west coast aboard your comfortable coach. During the bus ride, approximately 1.5 hours from Orlando to Clearwater, your driver will inform you about what you’ll find at Florida’s Gulf of Mexico. When you arrive, explore at your leisure – swim, sunbathe or take a walk – digging your toes into miles of soft, white sand at Clearwater Beach.
If you wish, rent a beach umbrella and chair, as well as snorkeling and other watersports equipment – all available on the beach. Browse the souvenir shops for T-shirts or postcards, or head down to Pier 60 and watch the pelicans gather around the fishermen’s daily catch.
When you’re hungry for lunch, simply use your voucher at the marina café across the street from the beach; you can eat there or enjoy a Clearwater Beach picnic. Alcoholic drinks, soda and water are sold separately.
In total, you’ll have about seven to eight hours in Clearwater, depending on traffic from Orlando. If you wish to upgrade your tour, choose from a speedboat ride aboard the Sea Screamer or go deep-sea fishing in the calm waters of the Gulf.
Clearwater Sea ScreamerExplore the Gulf of Mexico on a wild and exciting one-hour ride aboard the Sea Screamer -- one of the largest speedboats in America! From Clearwater Beach, cruise past Clearwater Harbor and Sand Key Park as the captain shares interesting facts about the area. Then it’s off to the open waters for an exhilarating ride!
Hold onto your hat as the boat screams past resorts and beaches. With its dual twin turbo-charged diesel engines, the 72-foot (22-meter) Sea Screamer reaches speeds up to 35 miles (56 km) per hour. As you zip along the shoreline, look out for bottlenose dolphins that leap in and out of the wake.
Deep-Sea FishingCruise from Clearwater Beach, known for its calm sea conditions, and go deep-sea fishing for approximately four hours at some of Florida's most productive natural reefs. Amid open waters in the Gulf of Mexico, expect to catch a variety of reef fish including gray snapper, sea bass, tarpon, jacks and groupers.
This family-friendly trip in the sport-fishing capital is perfect for the experienced fisherman or first-timer (the crew will show you how to use all equipment). You can choose to catch and release, or bring a cooler if you want to keep your catch! There will be someone on hand to clean the fish.

Amazing trip on the sea screamer with dolphins in tow :0
Review by: Isabel M, October 2017
Had a great day at Clearwater, driver very informative and funny, didn't choose the lunch, because wasn't sure what was on offer and granddaughter is vegetarian, sea screamer was amazing and well worth the money , only downside was, trip wasn't long enough, would have liked to stay overnight .

The beach is fab , but the journey wasnt, expected a luxury coach , as its approx 3 hours each way , instead got a cramped 13 seater mini bus , the traffic was bad , driver changed return time from 5.15 to 4.30 , never told us , found out by chance , people sat anywhere got told off for complaining

Red was great and very enthusiastic. He made everyone's trip very enjoyable by being informative and approachable. This trip was really great for any who wants to get away from the theme parks and spend a day on a nice beach.

Our family took the tour to Clearwater Beach Day Trip with Sea Screamer tour and it was simply AWESOME!! We were in Florida for a week and visited many of the park attractions in Orlando but the trip to Clearwater was the best day of fun!!! Highly recommend to anyone.

Awesome day trip!!!! Loved Clearwater Beach.
Review by: Sabrina S, March 2015
It was great! The ride home was very long due to traffic, but the tour driver was great from start to finish. He was always friendly and professional. He went our of his way to make sure everyone was taken care of and knew what was going on. I believe his name was Clark and he did an outstanding job. His company should make sure they keep him!!

Review by: Patricia B, December 2014
We were collected and taken to Clearwater although there were traffic problems our driver Clarke did all he could to find an alternative route to get us there so we could enjoy the full day there. Lunch was very nice and all in all a very nice day out.

Review by: mltj2511, August 2014
We enjoyed everything about this trip. The beach was breathtaking and our lunch was delicious. The Sea Screamer boat ride and seeing dolphins on our boat excursion only added to the unforgettable experience. It was so much fun that we will do this again on a future Orlando trip.
Review by: Sarah J, June 2014

Too tired to drive; great bus trip!
Review by: FionaStorey, October 2013
Excellent trip! Love Clearwater and have been many times and was nice on our trip to WDW to have a day out of the parks and hit the beach! Met at Downtown Disney for the 2hr trip, coach on time, driver very informative - nice touch was a DVD film shown which made the journey go quick! Arrived at Clearwater and was given clear instructions however Clearwater is a small place! We were going to not have the included lunch so we could go to one of my all time favourite restaurants but I couldn't believe it the 'included' lunch on this tour was there!!!! The Post Corner Pizza Restaurant - you must have the Pizza!!! Clearwater Beach and promenades have had a makeover and the beach is gorgeous as always! We chose the Sea Screamer, no dolphins seen but it was a great trip round the bay - they offered us another trip as dolphins are guaranteed - the captain told us "this is the real world, not Sea World" which I thought was funny and of course true! Lovely day plenty of time for lunch, shopping, screamer and a swim - hassle free trip back - would recommend as a nice break from the theme parks!

We went on the deep sea fishing trip and had a good time.We just wish we had more time so we could have had the fish cleaned for dinner instead of giving them away.
Review by: christian m, July 2013
Awsome!!! It was my 10 yr olds birthday the day of the fishing trip and was his best birthday so far! Entire crew was polite and helpful the entire trip. Would absolutally recomend this to anyone and may even make plans to go again next year.

The trip was flawless, our guide Dennis was awesome, and lunch was delicious.
Review by: John B, May 2012
Relax on the bus, have no hustle, relax from Disney. Really good lunch at the restaurant. Weather was bad, red flags, could not go swimming or go to the gulf of Mexico because of high winds and strong current (unusual). Still went to see some dolphins on the boat, just not on the Gulf of Mexico. And also saw some celebritiy houses. Still enjoyed ourselves, hadf a great time. Workers on boat - nice and funny!

The Orlando crowds were wearing me out. This day trip was such a great getaway for a day. I was worried we'd get bored having so many hours at the beach as we did not do any of the activities but we had no trouble using them up. Our driver was very professional and courteous, and the motorcoach was right on time and had comfortable seating and was nice and cool. We got to listen to a light rock/pop station on the way and back. When we got to the beach, driver instructions to everyone were very clear on when and where to meet back up. He dropped us off at the restaurant, so we could see where it was. By the way, it says a picnic lunch is included on some of the descriptions, but it is actually a voucher to go to a restaurant across the street from the beach. They have a shortened version of the menu with sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, etc that you can choose from. There are several souvenir shops near the restaurant if you are looking for shirts, postcards, or other souvenirs. This is not the best shelling beach, but the sand is so white and soft. We enjoyed walking down Pier 60 and taking pics of the pelicans. There is a marina across the street from the beach that is interesting to walk along as in the afternoon you can watch some of the fishermen cutting up their catches as the pelicans crowd around wanting some scraps. There is also a store and playground next to Pier 60 where kids can play and you can get a drink and other souvenirs and convenience type items. So glad we did the day trip. It was worth every penny.

A very well organized trip, with a larger than life tour guide that was not only amusing but approachable and very helpful. The trip on the Screamer was exhilarating and I would certainly recommend it to others. Lunch was really good followed by a fantastic stroll along the miles of snow white sandy beaches. A truly memorable excursion.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! The shelling tour was a great way to spend 2 hours. The captain was great and they gave us "gold coins" to hide in the shells on the island for the kids to find...it was very special! The lunch was very tasty, a good selection of items to pick. The beach was absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide was hilarious and the bus ride was very relaxing! We will do it again next time we go to Orlando. I highly recommend this, especially the shelling tour if you have kids!

We did the deep sea fishing. You will catch fish. Make sure you bring your Dramamine. Also bring small cooler. The ship's hand filleted the catch and iced it down. We cooked it up at the villa in Orlando. It was the best fish we had.

Even though it poured on us and we ended up going on the seascreamer as the other was closed, we had a fantastic time. They were very kind to us and let us go down below the boat because it was pouring and we had 2 little girls with us. I thought that was very kind and the dolphins were great!
Review by: Alistair F, United Kingdom, May 2008
Beautiful beach and a fantastic speed boat ride, even managed to see some dolphins. A great day out away from the hustle and bustle of the parks.
