- Pamela L0 contributionsThe crew was very knowledgeable about where to see dolphins. We saw quite a few dolphins on our excursion.Back in 2019 we took a cruise out of St Petersburg. We didn’t see any sea life. We were thrilled to see so many on this trip. :)Written October 12, 2024
- P8034QEmichaels0 contributionsAfternoon AdventureOur Captains were both amazing and tried their very best to make the whole experience a lot of fun. They found as many dolphins as they could, staying long enough to let us enjoy the moment and then off to find some more and tried to make sure all sides of the boat got a chance to see some up close. They also pointed out other sea life as we cruised around the bay and often played music just to make the whole experience more enjoyable. They even let the kids take turns driving the boat whenever possible! It was a fantastic afternoon and lots of memories.Written October 9, 2024

We did an activity a day with them.
1. Sunset/Dolphin cruise. Capt Kyle and Kelly were knowledgeable and made the cruise fun. They went out of their way to make sure we saw some dolphins because they just weren't cooperating that day.
2. Parasailing with Bo & Alex: they were happy, put you at ease and definitely made you feel like you were in good hands. The ride was smooth and we didn't plunge to the water (a fear I had ha)
3. Snorkeling with Capt Kyle & Jack: oh my goodness!! Had such a great time, very instructive and kept an eye on everyone- great conversations and we were able to see so many dolphins (definitely recommend the morning snorkeling) it is for beginners so not very strenuous and you can touch if you need a break.

We did the 2.5 hr snorkel and mini dolphin cruise and had a great time. Josh and Kyle made the most of the trip despite high tide being early in the morning and less than normal water clarity. They did a great job of making the the trip fun and inclusive. The snorkeling was great for first timers and you can get an occasional sea turtle or other sea life, but the gulf area is not the same as coral snorkeling for those more experienced. Great trip overall and highly recommend for families and first time snorkelers.

I brought my great neice and nephew to Destin to spend some quality time together. The Dolphin tour was the perfect bonding outing. I was with teenagers and I am an older aunt but this experience was a great adventure for all of us. Captain Kyle and Mate Josh were the perfect hosts. We saw 2 pods of dolphins; Captain Kyle is very good at locating dolphins (see picture of Captain Kyle). The music they played along the way was very fitting and energizing. Worth going to this location versus the congested Harbor Village. Very highly recommended!

Our trip was cut short due to a sick deck hand who rescued another passenger that could not swim back to the boat. (She did an amazing job!) but we really enjoyed the time we had. The first stop was a beautiful spot but it was full of small jelly fish so when the boat backs in the spot it cuts up the jelly fish and tentacles are everywhere and they sting you. It feels like a bee sting and may leave whelps. Some people said it felt like mosquito bites and small children were crying from the stings. Just be aware of this. My 15 year old son had several whelps and got out of the water. We seen several dolphins and on the way to our second spot to snorkel the deck hand got really sick and we had to turn back. They did give us a refund for half the trip and we were ok with that. All in all we enjoyed the tour and maybe one day we will do it again. The captain and deck hand did a great job! Just beware of the jellyfish, they hurt.

Absolute best experience ever! This This was the first time I had ever been in the ocean and This Crew made it very comfortable for myself and my family. They provided an amazingly smooth tour with great instructions and was absolutely perfect for beginners and more advanced snorkelers. Amazing customer service. From the start of the tour, the parking was very simple and boarding was a breeze. The crew gave great instructions and pointed out extensive Marine wildlife and ecology. They gave great instructions on snorkeling for beginners and took us to amazing areas. I know you have many options in this part of Florida but please choose this company! They are by far the best and the customer service was beyond belief! There are literally no negatives to this experience!

Kyle and Josh were amazing captains that showed us the beautiful sunset, arising Moon and not to mention the numerous dolphins! They knew exactly where the dolphins would be! Wonderful adventure!! The price was very reasonable compared to the overly priced of other dolphin cruises! We saw the other cruises out there… but I know we had the better views! 😂. Destin Dolphin Tours did not disappoint!!

Caroline and Kyle were amazing. They were wonderful at explaining things since we were beginners they were very patient in explaining the things we were about to experience!!! Also Kyle made sure we got to see dolphins. He was great at pointing out sea life making sure we got to capture all these moments. Very first time friendly. Thank you Caroline for answering all of our questions and helping us out getting geared up. Will for sure be doing this again. Thank you both for making the time AMAZING

We did the sunset dolphin cruise with our family. The staff was knowledgeable, entertaining, and kind. We saw a lot of dolphins and the sunset was absolutely breathtaking. I love that they stopped and let us watch the sky turn colors as the sun disappeared for the day. By far my favorite part of this. My children however, loved the dolphins more.

It was so nice to get out on a boat that was fully shaded from the hot sun and cruise to fun spots to swim and snorkel. We had dolphins close to the boat and even saw a rare spotted eagle ray who jumped out of the water giving us an unexpected show! Ryan & Caroline were fantastic hosts.
What a fun day out on the water in Destin Florida.

The jelly fish were pretty bad in our first location, it was difficult to avoid them- they were everywhere and everyone in our party was stung several times. The second location was much better. We did see a lot of dolphins, a sting ray, and a sea turtle. It was a lot of fun, however, I don’t recommend getting in at the first spot if you are really sensitive to stings.
