I hesitantly give 3 stars. The staff was great and we saw a few dolphins at a distance. I realize the dolphins are wild and in their natural habitat and the staff has no control over the dolphins and can not make them jump in the waves made by the boat as described on their website - - - "Mega Bite was specifically designed to create a "MEGA" wake that dolphins love to jump and play in". - - - Our big problem was getting across the bridge into Clearwater and then finding parking. This NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED on the Mega Bite website. We drove from Orlando to Clearwater and had plenty of time to get there, so we thought. It took 30 minutes to go the last 3 miles because of the high traffic across the bridge and then once we got across the bridge, the Pier 60 lot was full. The hotel that I passed had a sign posted that stated hotel guest parking only. I made it back toward the marina and after driving around the lot, I was finally lucky enough to find a place to park. It only allowed 30 minutes on the meter but had the parkmobile app, so I was fine with that. I could add time via the app. WRONG!! Apparently, the marina only allows 30 minute parking and DOES NOT allow adding extra time with the app and there were no signs (that I saw) that stated 30 minute parking only. If you choose to do the Mega Bite tour and you are only coming in for a day (like I did), please be sure to allow for plenty of travel time (add at least 1 additional hour to your planned travel time) and another 30 minutes to find parking (where you can park for more than 30 minutes). We literally made it to the boat just before they left for the tour. Granted, the staff said that we could have taken the next tour, but we did not have time to wait for the next tour. If I had it to do over, I would choose to go to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to visit Winter and Hope (from the Dolphin Tale). Sorry Mega Bite, but the stress of it all was not worth the price paid to see a few dolphins at a distance.

Well first I will start by saying the woman at the front desk where you pay try to scam me for my money if I didnt notice it on time that my three year old was free she would have pocketed that money. Second the captain looked agitated and not in a great mood at all. The dolphins werent coming up really and just not an overall good experience for a family affair. *****ALSO on top of the already pricey price tag at the end of your trip they put a bucket out for tips and tell you how much a tip would be appreciated :/

This was by far our best dolphin adventure. 10 dolphins! At the boat jumping around. John the captain and Ali his first mate were excellent hosts. We have tried other adventures in the past but this was by far the BEST one! Great experience definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to search dolphins...

Okay....this was our second dolphin sightings we had for the day and the bonus is the awesome sunset view. Saw a few groups of dolphins at different occasions. Then coming back to the sunset view..the pictures will speak about how the experience was...totally worth it!!!!
