Activity Overview
If you love nature and either live in or are visiting the Tampa area, you should certainly make the time to head along to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to take a tour on the Sea Life Safari Boat Tour. Driving to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium from downtown Tampa should take around three quarters of an hour if you don't run into any traffic.
During your ocean safari you'll travel along the Intracoastal Waterway in the company of a guide and you'll trawl for examples of conchs, puffer fish, sea horses, stingrays, and more. Don't worry! The creatures are put back into the sea once you've seen them. You'll also stop off at Compass Cay where any keen ornithologists in your family can enjoy the nearby sanctuary.
Things to Do
- Learn more about the sea life from the Sea Life Safari Boat tour. The two-hour tour will take around the nearby waters where you'll look out for dolphins so keep your eyes open!
- Already been on your Sea Life Safari? Don't go so fast! Stick around and enjoy the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where you can see many more examples of marine life.
- Be sure to ask questions of your friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and marine biologist who should be able to provide you with even more information during your trip.
Sea Life Safari Boat Tour Insider Tips
- Save money by bringing a cooler filled with food along. Of course, you can't bring a huge cooler along but as long as it's of a reasonable size, it will be allowed to be brought on the boat. Ask before bringing it along.
