Review of Clearwater’s private Tahoe Funship tour, with dolphins, island stops, a waterslide, shelling, swimming, and practical booking tips.
“This was an amazing outing. Our Captain, Frank, made sure we checked all the items on our list (seashells and dolphins). The kids said this was the best day ever, and I agree. We stopped at an island covered in shells for our collection. Whenever we spotted dolphins our Captain invited them to play so we got to see them jumping out of the water in their natural environment. The last stop allowed us to play on the boat and in the water. It was truly a great day. I wish I could give them 10 stars.”
Every kind of American day out, and the best of each.
