Booking this trip was easy and communication from GrayLine Orlando from booking until day of trip was excellent. Our driver Mauricio was fantastic! As he said "he would treat us like family" and that he did! From getting us there and back safely, giving useful recommendations and information once we got to Clearwater and making sure we were all taken care of. He also made sure to personally take us to where we needed to be for our Dolphin Encounters trip. He is definitely an asset to GrayLine and would highly recommend him as a driver/guide!
Our Dolphin Encounters trip was great! The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and made sure to point out lots of things along the way including many dolphins!
Highly recommend this trip! We had plenty of time for the dolphins encounter trip, lunch and beach time. Many thanks to GrayLine Orlando, especially Mauricio, the crew from Dolphin Encounters and Clearwater Beach!

Clearwater Beach is beautiful! We saw a 3 dolphins at the beach. Clean public bathrooms are available at the beach.
Dolphin excursion was very good, 25 dolphins. Very nice boat ride. Beverages pop and alcohol available for purchase on boat ride.
Lunch option didn't work for me because food allergies. I gave voucher to another couple who didn't purchase it with there trip.
Maurici was a great guide. He explained and answered everyone questions. Excellent driver, very heavy traffic to and from Clearwater Beach.
Please remember to tip your staff, they definitely deserve it. Tips can be charged.

Maurici is an excellent guide! My husband and I went on Clearwater Beach trip with lunch option, and dolphin excursion. Clearwater Beach is beautiful, a perfectly cloudy 76°, and we saw 3 dolphins at the beach. Many pelicans and other birds. He stopped on way for snacks in the morning.
Lunch options all at seafood restaurants which don't work for me because of my food allergies. We simply gave them to another couple that didn't purchase the lunch option. No problem, happy to pay it forward. He suggested plenty of alternative lunch options for everyone. We had pizza and garlic knots at Little Anonthy Italian pizza was delicious, but expensive. Pizza $23, garlic knots $14, pop $5 each.
Tropical Dolphin excursion with Zach and crew. Nice boat ride, very smooth water, and plenty of dolphins. We saw 24 dolphins. Beverages Pepsi products $2 and alcohol drinks for purchase on boat. Cards accepted and able to charge your tip if needed.
Maurici is very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. Please bring a cash tip or charge a tip for your guide. He works hard to make sure everyone happy and very heavy traffic both ways.

The communication with GrayLine was easy when we needed to schedule our pick up spot. Our driver, MAURICE, was on time and very friendly. We had a good tour on the Sea Screamer.

Clearwater was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Our driver Mauricio was a very pleasant character and made us laugh. He gave us lots of useful tips and information. He is most definitely an asset to the company
