Doing what: Dolphin Cruise from The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
The tour narrator was excellent with an enormous amount of information. Unfortunately, the weather was windy and waters on the rough side which hindered seeing dolphins but that is not the fault of the cruise providors. Would like to do it again on calmer waters.

Unfortunately, we saw very little of the dolphins. However, the commentary about the Bay and the lands surrounding it was very informative.

Doing what: Dolphin Cruise from The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
This was a nice trip. Crew was very infomative, made this a very interesting hour and a half. Relaxing trip out into Tampa Bay. The only thing was that despite us knowing that we would not be guaranteed seeing dolphins, when it is advertised as a Dolphin Cruise you expect to see them. We didn't see any, therefore there has to be some disappointment!

Doing what: Dolphin Cruise from The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
The tour was very good, I was a little apprehensive that we would not see any dolphins but we saw several and it was very exciting. All the information the guide gave was very informative and they were quite accommodating when we arrived late for our pre-paided tour, they re-scheduled it for the next day

The boat was very nice and clean. The area cruised was limited to the shipping channels, therefore reducing the chance for a dolphin sighting.

Very interesting and educational. Not your typical tourist attraction. Highly recommend for persons interested in intellectual stimulation.

Sea world has a great underwater aquarium and this is a little far if you're staying in Orlando. But it's nice and cheap if you're after a day out.

The Aquarium was wonderful, clean and not overcrowded.

Doing what: The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
The aquarium was pretty dull as most of it was closed. Only good thing was meeting a penguin in the lobby. I expected much more from an aquarium in Florida, so I was very disappointed, thus the rating.

This was really nice. The boat driver moved around the bay until he spotted the dolphins. We saw only three, but there was a newborn in the group, which the guide said was a very rare thing to see. The guide was very knowledgeable. I would do this again.

Doing what: Dolphin Cruise from The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
I was one of 3 seniors going on the Dolphin Cruise and we all enjoyed ourselves. We thought the value was worth the price. The temperature was mid 70s which was a little breezy. At times we put on our light jackets for the return ride but most of the trip we were outside. Comfortable cabin to get out of the breeze. We went on a Sunday and the Carnival Legend cruise ship was in port which was an added bonus.
