What To Expect

Tampa Water Taxi Company
After boarding your cruise, you'll travel out in the bay to see pods of friendly Atlantic Bottle-nose dolphins. Your captain will bring you to areas where these dolphins spend their day feeding, playing and raising there young. Just outside Tampa's downtown is the nursery for Tampa Bay's dolphin population where mothers and calves frolic the day away. Your guide will explain the daily life and habits of the dolphin on this 1.5-hour cruise. When your guides spot the pods of dolphins, the boat will stop within 30 feet (10 meters) or less as the guides have ways to get them to come right to the boats. Keep your cameras ready as you will see dolphins closer than you ever thought. You will be a master of dolphin spotting by the end of your cruise! After seeing the dolphins you'll head back to to downtown Tampa, cruising the channels and river and learning about the great city of Tampa.

Read all the reviews! So many stating how rude and unprofessional ā€œmanager/ownerā€ is. You can see by his replies. I was lucky enough to experience it 1st hand. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!! Do not do business with them. Bought a Groupon while in town on vacation. VERY difficult to find due to no signage. Tour was at 2:00pm. Got there at 2:02pm. Called business to let them know we were there. Was basically told too bad, tour already left. They didnā€™t leave within 2 minutes. Filed dispute with Groupon. Groupon responded that they reached out to the merchant and that they didnā€™t know that we were there. If we had called they wouldā€™ve turned around and got us!! Are you kidding me?? I sent Groupon a screenshot of the phone call time stamped. I also called the business again and spoke to the ā€œmanagerā€ which happens to be the same unprofessional person I spoke to originally. He was rude, nasty, and will not return our money. This place is a scam. Iā€™ve been on many other boat tours in Florida and never have I had this type of experience

This is what we send with all confirmed bookings. Dear guests Your tour departure point is BEHIND (on the water side of the building) the Tampa Bay History Center 801 Water Street Tampa FL 33602 At the dock Marked 3 look for Blue boat Yellow roof Parking is 1.5 blocks away at Channelside parking Please allow enough time to get to parking and get to boat. We leave at the EXACT tour time. Many guests call 5 min. before departure and ask "were do we park" you will miss the boat and there are no refunds if you are not on the boat at departure time. As this person said they got there at 2:02 (we start our tour in front of our departure point and we are in sight of the departure dock for about about 7 min, there was know one there by 2:09. We offered to take them at another departure but the response was a f bomb and they hung up).
