Dolphin & Manatee Watch Cruise

Come and join LeBarge and a Mote Marine-trained marine biologist on this two-hour cruise and learn about the lifestyle and behavior of our local population of over 120 bottlenose dolphins, as well as manatees in season.

The guide will explain their hunting techniques, physical adaptations and social hierarchy. Also learn of the effects brought on by humankind and what is being done to protect this magnificent mammal.

Sarasota Bay is the ideal location to observe these intelligent marine mammals and the Sarasota Bay Dolphin Research Program is the longest ongoing dolphin study in the world.

All of our marine biologists are guides with our sister company Sarasota Bay Explorers in cooperation with Mote Marine Laboratory to ensure that you receive the latest, most accurate information regarding these marine mammals. This trip is essential for any dolphin enthusiast!
