First of all, it's going to be hot and sunny so wear sunscreen and appropriate clothing. The boat had a small bimini top but if you don't get in the boat first, you are going to be in the sun. They provided free cold bottled water for everyone. We started off by the Victory ship in the harbor and then cruised around harbour island. Then he took us into the bay and up Davis Islands jut past Derek Jeter's house. Then we went up the river past UT to Ulele and back down to channelside where we started the tour. The guide knew a lot about the area and I would recommend this tour for anyone. Even as a local, I learned a few things.

I booked a tour months ago and extended my stay for 1/2 day just to go on this tour. I received an email the morning of saying the tour had been canceled and that I would receive a refund. No tour and no refund. It's been 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for a refund.

I am sorry that you tour was cancelled . But weather will force us to make that call. A quick 2 min phone call we could address your refund. We do not have your money the online company you booked with does. We have to address it with them.

Well worth the money and was exactly what I was looking for - a tale of Tampa's history and anecdotes as seen from the beautiful canals. Ours was spiced up by a few dolphins
