You are actually guaranteed to see dolphins on your trip that also includes not only a fascinating narrative full of facts and information from your captain but also "Turtle Story Time" for the kids and complementary beverages for the adults.
When people think of a romantic date, usually a walk on the beach comes to mind.

Don't let the small size of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium fool you. This highly interesting attraction is very big on ensuring the survival of marine life in the area. While offering visitors the chance to see marine fauna, the aquarium also is a facility in which injured animals go through an extensive rehabilitation process before returning to their natural habitats. Visitors learn about ecology and how important it is to respect the wildlife that inhabit it. Some of the creatures that you'll see here include sharks, otters, dolphins, and stingrays. Stop into the gift shop while you're here, as the proceeds from your purchase go to help fund this non-profit organization.
