Boats open the oceans to exploration just as airplanes allow for navigation of the stratosphere, and blimps let passengers time-travel to the 1930s. Explore new frontiers with this Groupon.

The Tropics Boat Tours ferry explorers aboard a double-decker luxury catamaran, navigating the Intracoastal Waterway alongside dolphins and sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. The Dolphin Exploration tour spans two hours as guests sail through Clearwater Pass to the Gulf, charting a course among frolicking pods of bottlenose dolphins and marooned land sharks. Ocean-goers can sip complimentary beer, wine, and soft drinks while catching sun on the catamaran’s open-air upper deck or relaxing in the shade of the lower level. As the vessel romps through the surf, children can listen in awe to stories from Tommy the Turtle as the captain points out celebrity mansions, natural wonders, and seabirds attempting to earn lifeguarding certificates. Children aged 3 or younger are admitted for free.
