Excellent

Louise_B, Apr 2024

This trip was amazing, very organised and coach transfers on time. The tour guy and driver where brilliant. Did the sea screamers boat trip, which was amazing, would defo book again with these

Not as promised

Travis_N, Apr 2024

The tour operator and bus driver were great. We ordered the package with deepsea fishing and were told at the boat that it was not going to happen due to the weather. The part that I have a problem with was when the boat guy stated that the company was contacted the day before that we were not going to be fishing. Viator company did not communicate this with us even though they were informed prior. I was granted a refund only for the fishing. I did not get a full one as I requested due to lunch and bus transport.. They withheld details to get my money and had me go on a trip without promised items they knew werent going to happen. Its either poor communication or shady business, both are bad I don’t trust the company and will delete the viator app.

Amazing

100% recommend this trip. Clearwater is one of the best beaches I have visited it is truly stunning. I also recommend the boat with dolphin encounter- it was truly incredible! The dolphins were jumping out of the water and the whole journey was lovely. You get a $20 voucher for the Crabbys restaurant on the dockside and I recommend sitting on the 3rd floor as the views are beautiful! A huge thank you to Oscar he was a great driver, very friendly, offered if you needed the rest room to let him know during the couple of hours ride. Thank you My best excursion yet!

Awesome Trip

Steven_J, Feb 2024

Fun fun fun......will do this again.....no driving sit back relax and enjoy! A full day of fun. With a place to change clothes and rent cabanas. And last but not least visit hulk hogan's store and bar.

Clearwater day trip.

Pauline_S, Jan 2024

Had a great day! Booked for The Screamer boat but not running due to being maintained so was offered Dolphin Encounter instead which I willingly accepted. Saw lots of dolphins and not too many on this boat trip or the comfortable minibus down to Clearwater. Weather not great but not controllable lol and Crabbys Dockside for lunch was good as it always is. Great trip.

Beautiful trip

Clearwater Beach trip was wonderful comfortable ride Greg Dersett being excellent driver we all enjoyed his lovely sense of humour and jokes, thanks Grey line team. Dr & Mrs Khan

Great day out

Fiona_F, Oct 2023

While swimming a dolphin swam passed me in the waves, brilliant. Also I went out pier 60, only cost a dollar, and saw a dolphin swim around the end, possibly same dolphin, walked around the shops and had a lovely meal across the road from pier 60 great fish tacos. Great driver Oscar gave us great info and gave us a rest stop in both directions badly needed.

Clearwater Beach trip with hubby and grandson

Myra_M, Jul 2023

I like the bus trip so that my husband could relax and not drive for two hours to the beach. My grandson is tall and was not cramped. We all took a nap on the bus. Annetta was our guide and educated us about Florida that we didn’t know about.

Awesome cruise

Kim_C, Apr 2023

Beautiful views. Food was good. Definitely would recommend. Crew was very friendly. Great weather. I would give it a thumbs up.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

We're so glad that you enjoyed your trip to Clearwater! It is definitely quite beautiful this time of year. We can't wait to see you again on your next beach trip!

Beautiful Experience!

Marcus_W, Jul 2022

Highly recommended! It was amazing! A little rain but it didn’t stop the fun! We also got a chance to see small fish and dolphins!

Our day at the beach was great!

daniela_l, May 2022

We spent the day at the beach, and it was great. Water is warm, white sand and clean. We rented chairs and a cabana for 45 dol and was worth it, since traveling with kids. Traffick on our way back to Orlando was heavy, but our bus driver was patient with no sudden stops, ideal just to sit back and sleep. We sat in the back of the bus and we couldnt really hear what the guide was saying since the AC was too loud, but other than that I would reccomend this trip to the beach 100%.

First time visitor

Excellent day trip

Diane_T, Nov 2021

This is a nice day trip and a good value. The driver was very friendly and gave a mini-tour on the beginning of the trip to Clearwater. Traffic was bad on the trip back but this did not seem to bother the driver in any way…He continued to drive us safely onward! This is a good way to visit Clearwater Beach for a day if you are visiting Orlando and do not have your own transportation.

South to Sand Key if you want to avoid the crowds

hasteycindy, Oct 2021

Prompt service. Driver was very friendly, sharing lots of information about the area. Van was very clean and his driving was excellent. We took the trolly south to Sand Key to pick shells. Nice and quiet there. Just what we were looking for.

Beautiful beach. Great road trip.

Ann_D, Aug 2021

Beautiful beach. Fun shops. Great food. Lots of things to see and do. Bus ride was comfortable. It was a great road trip.

Nice beach!

Debra_M, Jul 2021

It was a great day at the beach! The lunch included is not worth the money. I would buy my own. It was also very difficult to get to the Royal Pacific hotel from the Portofino Hotel for pickup. Overall, a nice day.

Fun!

Jennifer_C, Jun 2021

I definitely recommend!! I can’t wait to go back again. We had a great time, bus ride was nice. Only complaint was I wish the movie was playing the whole time

Best day ever!!!

Michelle_S, May 2021

Would do it again!!! And next time would book some upgrades. Best day trip ever!!! The driver and host was awesome!

Well worth the money

Andrey_K, Apr 2021
