When it comes to some of Florida’s great, undiscovered gems, the new-look Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater Beach is right up there with the best of them. And rightly so. It is a fascinating supporter of marine rescue and rehabilitation.
It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that it is one of our highlight tours, offering the chance to enjoy a real in-depth (pun absolutely intended!) experience with this wonderful marine life centre. If you’re looking for a completely different kind of Clearwater adventure, take a look at our Sea Screamer & Clearwater Beach Trip and our Clearwater Pirate Ship Cruise. And if you’re looking for a Floridian experience that gets you and the family out of the sun for a day, then check out our #1 Kennedy Space Center Tour.
A recent $80 million expansion project has created a fresh, new vibe to the Clearwater Aquarium, and visitors are always amazed at just how much there is to see and do here, starting with the rehabilitation work for a great variety of animals — from dolphins to otters — and continuing through a wide range of experiences, exhibits and additional programs.
With the fact this is a working animal hospital, some of the animals can change on a regular basis, but you will always find rehab viewings of sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and even sharks, as well as pelicans and the always-playful otters. Some of the animals cannot be released back into the wild, hence they have become ‘mascots’ for the Aquarium.
Looking for a Clearwater dolphin experience? The big attraction is the all-new Ruth and J.O. Stone Dolphin Complex, a series of pools and working areas where the centre cares for its complement of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. This is the best way to see dolphins in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
If you’re searching for even more trips and tours during your Florida stay, you might also like to check out our Tours in (and from) Orlando, and our Orlando Private Tours as well!
