We went on the cruise but we did not see any Dolphins, disappointed but it was a nice day. All the guide talked about was fertilizer, boring.

Sadly, no dolphins on our trip so can't give it a higher rating. We also couldn't hear the announcements very well so missed the commentary by the Captain. What we did hear was more about the Tampa bay area/land than about dolphins. I think it would have been more interesing to hear facts about dolphins vs. the radioactive dump site we went by. The boat itself was clean and comfortable.

The presenter for lack of a better term of the dolphin cruise was WONDERFUL, very friendly and engaging. The boat was comfortable and amble seating. The inside bartender on the other hand couldn't have been less interested in helping anyone. Very rude and did not acknowledge you upon walking in, was only interested in looking at her phone and hardly looked up to help you after minutes of standing in front of her. Very extremely rude. She is the only part of the cruise that I would have changed. Other than that, very wonderful experience, lots of fun!

We were disappointed with the dolphin cruise. We had taken our daughter and grandson. We did not see any dolphins or any other kind of see life. It didn't look like a place where you would ever see any dolphins. The sound system was broken, so the portable microphone was very hard to hear. The aquarium itself was enjoyable and educational.

I highly recommend the FL Aquarium Dolphin Cruise. We saw about 15 dolphins, numerous stingrays, pelicans and seagulls. The tour guide was knowledgeable and obviously enjoys his job. This is a great tour for all ages. We also learned a lot about dolphin and other sea life behavior.

Despite only seeing three dolphins in 75 minutes, the boat ride was enjoyable

Didn't have any dolphin swim up close or come up very high in the water. Did see a lot of them from a distance which was still fun. It was a relaxing and fun time with our little grand daughter.

Beautiful day and the time was perfect for us. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the boat wasn't crowded at all. Great day

Enjoyed our visit to Florida Aquarium. Went on the dolphin cruise but unfortunately, did not see any wild dolphin. Perhaps winter is not the best time to go on a dolphin tour.

Well organized. The staff of the Florida Aquarium were well trained in dealing with tourists, full of enjoyment of their job. Do not go expecting to be guaranteed an encounter with dolphins, though we did, but to enjoy the bay, and all the interesting facts and conversations regarding the history of the area. For the price, it was well worth the couple of hours on the water. All in all, a good tourist value, which included the Aquarium admission.

We don't care much about seeing dolphins, but the tour was a great look at the harbor and Tampa bay, High value and fun.
