My friends and I booked this tour to celebrate a 40th birthday. We got the groupon price for $13 a ticket plus the $10 for the drink wristbands. We had so much fun! The crew was very friendly and ensured that we had a great time. The weather was beautiful and the sights were nice, too. Take the advice of... More

Would recommend to others. It is an all you can drink beer, wine and soft drinks for $10. Many people did that and got drunk, but surprisingly even though we don't drink and there were lots of kids on board it was a good tour. The crew handled things well. We went on the Honeymoon Island tour for 21/2 hours.... More

This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The Tropics Boat Tour was an absolute blast. We lucked out as the actual owners were on board for our trip and they are the friendliest and nicest people. The staff was great and ensured you had a great time. We went on April 15th and lucked out as the... More

This cruise is was just ok. The sights and the sunset the best part. If you're going just for booze, you may want to look elsewhere. The only thing included in the price, which was $35 per person, beer and cheap wine. There are mix drinks for an additional cost, of course. FYI, there is absolutely not food, not even... More

I bought 4 tickets on groupon (thank goodness because it was worth what we paid for, I wouldnt have ever paid more for this). I booked ahead of time and we literally made within minutes of the boat leaving. Fair warning....if you are going on a weekend I highly recommend getting to the area early. We had a 5:00 tour...

I had reserved this trip 2 of us. Despite being a clear sunny day, The Tropics Boat Tours cancelled their trip JUST because we were only 2 on the trip. The two neighboring boats left for sunset...but not these guys. Not my fault if they were not able to find enough business !! The lady on reception was rude and... More

We are on our yearly vacation and my wife did some homework and picked-up a deal on Groupon for something like $12 a ticket. Overall, we had a great time and would not hesitate to do it again. A few notes... - Parking... You can park at the marina for $2. It's a great deal if you can find a... More

We had a nice time but when we arrived back I check the time and realized we had arrived back 30 minutes sooner than the 2.5 hours billed for the trip. We did have a pod of about 5 dolphins surf the wake of the boat for about 5 minutes and this was certainly the highlight of the trip. This... More

I purchased a groupon for the Honeymoon & Caledesi Island tour. Make sure you make a reservation so you're guaranteed the time you want to go. You can also purchase a wristband for $10 for unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks. Other fruity drinks are available for purchase separately while on board. The captain and crew were really fun and... More

As a frequent visitor to Clearwater we try to do this tour every visit. There are some great coupons you can find online via Groupon, Living Social etc. If you do a tour anytime after 11am and are driving by car be prepared for not finding parking!! The Tropics do sell parking passes for $2 to park in the metered... More
