Anticipating waves of visitors with the Friday release of "Dolphin Tale 2," several Gulf Coast hotels from Clearwater to St. Pete Beach in Florida are offering themed packages that include tickets to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home of the film's stars, dolphins Winter and Hope.
The original "Dolphin Tale," released in 2011, was based on the story of Winter, an injured bottlenose dolphin whose recovery hinged on a prosthetic tail.
"Dolphin Tale 2"continues the story and introduces a baby dolphin named Hope, rescued by Clearwater Marine Aquarium in 2010 and still residing there.
Winter and Hope play themselves in the movie, and the major stars of "Dolphin Tale" returned for the sequel, including Harry Connick Jr., Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, and Kris Kristofferson.
Packages, which start at around $200 for two nights, vary depending on location, but all hotels will donate 15 percent of the proceeds to the aquarium, a nonprofit working marine rescue center dedicated to research, rescue, rehabilitation and release. (The aquarium, which is open for tours, also is home to sea turtles, river otters, stingrays, nurse sharks and more.)
At the gulf-front TradeWinds Island Resorts on St. Pete Beach, for instance, a three-night package, beginning at $632, includes two tickets to the aquarium; a dolphin watch cruise for two; a plush Winter the dolphin toy; and the hardcover book "Winter's Tale."
Also included is the nightly resort amenity fee, which covers parking, beach cabana, paddleboats and other extras.
On the less expensive end, a two-night package at the Magnuson Hotel on Clearwater Beach begins at $202 and includes aquarium admission for two, a plush dolphin toy and the book.
