Dolphin Cruise from The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay
The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay is offering cruises aboard a 64-foot, 49-passenger catamaran, officially named Bay Spirit. The Aquarium has partnered with the Tampa Port Authority in order to bring this important project to life.
Many guests ask, "Where are the dolphins?" Instead of pointing out to the Bay, the Aquarium can take its guests out to the Bay to see these incredible animals. Tampa Bay is home to over 400 bottlenose dolphins. It is also one of the best places in Florida to view birds and an abundance of native fish. And all of this wildlife thrives in a working, deep water port, in close proximity to one of the fastest growing population centers in the United States.
So, find your sense of adventure, a good pair of binoculars, and come along for an adventure into Tampa Bay like no other!
Your visit to Tampa Bay isn't complete without exploring the one Bay Area attraction that opens a window to the side of Florida that few ever get to see. The Florida Aquarium offers a dramatic and unique look at all that swims, floats, preys,and crawls in and around Florida waters and beyond.
See thousands of sea animals and plants, including live sharks and rays in a touch pool. Dive shows and 'behind the scenes' tours are included in the entry price!
Follow the journey of a drop of water from its source in freshwater springs, to the open ocean. Have a hands-on experience with live sharks and rays in a 5,000 gallon touch pool. Enjoy live animal encounters, behind the scenes tours and dive shows daily at no additional fee.
Take a leisurely cruise along Florida's beautiful inland waters. Listen to an informative narration covering the history of the area and present-day sights of interest. Keep a sharp lookout, dolphins are a common sight on this cruise.
Please note: Lunch is not included in the cruise price. A full sit down lunch is available to purchase on board. A snack bar and full cocktail service are also available. Dive with the Sharks at The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay gives you the opportunity to SCUBA dive with sharks from around the world in the incredible Shark Bay exhibit. This experience will put you up close and personal with the ocean's top predator.
Shark Bay is a 93,000-gallon saltwater exhibit that is home to shark species from around the world including sand tiger sharks, zebra sharks, nurse sharks, black tip reef sharks and a green sea turtle. The Dive with the Sharks program is designed to dispel the commonly held myth that sharks are man-eaters and to convey a strong conservation message to visitors. Essentially, this is an extension of the successful and popular dive show "Sharks! From Fear to Fascination!"
WHAT YOU GET: The program is approximately 90-minutes and includes an educational presentation about sharks and a 30-minute dive in the Shark Bay exhibit. Exit the shark cage with a qualified dive master and position yourself on the bottom of the exhibit for optimal viewing of the sharks. Family and friends will be able to watch from the Sea Hunt gallery.
SAFETY: There are two dive masters in the exhibit with you and one surface tender present during all dives. This program is operated with the highest standards of recreational diving. The Florida Aquarium dive team is trained to supervise recreational diving activities by world wide recognized scuba training agencies. Emergency oxygen and first aid kits are onsite for all diving operations. The dive and security team have a well-practiced emergency action plan in order to handle medical emergencies.
