Three generations enjoyed a pontoon rental for the afternoon. We opted to add a floating pad and paddle board. The boat was in good condition. Staff took us out just a bit to thoroughly explain the operation and safety features as well as give us pointers on Crab Island and other places to visit. We went out to Crab Island and spent a couple of hours (be prepared, getting food there is very pricey). The best part of the day was visiting the other areas that Destiny suggested. We returned and were assisted in parking and getting off the pontoon. They were very affordable and accommodating.

We rented a pontoon and had an amazing time taking in all the beauty around us! We saw SO many dolphins up close and the kids (14, 15 and 6) were all asking to go out again before we even made it back!!! The staff was phenomenal and even followed up next day to make sure we had a great time! Highly recommend!!

Great experience with no issues. The guy that helped us was Carlos and he made sure we were 100% ready to have a fun and safe trip. He needs a raise and if I had cash at the time I would have gave him one. ThAnks for the great time on your pontoon we will be back to see you again. Thank you

We rented a pontoon for half of a day. We are inexperienced boaters and felt comfortable with the walk through we got during check in. The staff was wonderful and it was a very easy process. We had the best day at crab Island. Next time we will definitely rent a full day. Absolutely recommend Destiny water adventures

Eli was great! Very calm, kind, and go with the flow. I ended up falling off the jet ski a couple times. He showed us very beautiful places around the island that I’ve never seen. Very informative. Lovely experience overall. 10/10

Wonderful staff and experience. My granddaughter threw her pacifier in the water as we were loading. Thank goodness another staff member saw it and retrieved it quickly. Recommended 100%. We will be back soon!

To be fair, this was my first time riding a jet ski. The "tour" was not exactly what I was expecting. To get from the starting point to crab island and back in the alotted time required a speed that I just did not feel comfortable riding at in the rocky waters. I expected that it would be a slower paced ride, with the jet skis just providing a little closer view. At one point, our guide pointed to an area, and apparently was indicating that he had seen some dolphins. If you're an experienced rider, or maybe just a little scared to flip a jet ski than I am, this would probably suit you better, but just writing this review of my own experience since it was advertised to be appropriate for beginners. There were some areas of smoother water that were easier to navigate and pick up speed, but for the most part I just fell way behind, and felt like an inconvenience to the guide. To be honest though, I was glad he rode ahead so I didn't negatively impact the others' ride.

Hi Crystal,
we understand that everyone's comfort level is different, but we did listen to your feedback.
For this season we have made our Crab Island Dolphin Watch Jet-Ski Tour 2hrs long so that everyone has the time to get comfortable with the skis and to enjoy the sights of our beautiful waters and abundant wildlife.
We have also expanded our introduction to the skis with information regarding how to get the best ride - the faster you ride in choppy waters the smoother the ride is.
Also know that you were never an inconvenience to us, and we appreciate that you came and partook in this new experience.
We hope that you will give us chance to make it up to you, so please call us @ 850-503-7607.
Thanks for providing important feedback!

We had 3 adults and a 5 year old. Booking was easy. The location was convenient, near the bridge into Okaloosa island and our hotel. We got back a little late for our half day trip and they were very nice about it. We booked for a full day the next day and they have us 10% off. Will definitely book again.

We took our family of 13 there, kids aged 5-15, plus 4 adults and 2 "seniors" over 65. Everyone had an amazing time and no one got bored! There is plenty to do for all ages and you are welcome to bring anything you want in terms of food, sand toys, snorkles, etc. There are only a handful of people scheduled at a time (it was us, plus 3 other couples), so there is no waiting for equipment and no time limits. I was worried we would get bored after a few hours and be stuck on the island, but we were actually bummed when it was time to leave! My one complaint is that the website said that lunch included subs and fruit, and there was no fruit, only subs and cookies. Luckily, we brought plenty of snacks and included fruit in the cooler. I recommend bringing extra snacks and drinks since you are active all day and the kids get "snacky".

How far in advance do I need to book Day of Play? We will be in Ft. Walton Beach July 8-12, 2019. Also, can you give me an idea of what lunch/snacks are (picky eaters)
Written June 9, 2019
We always prefer a few days notice for Day Of Play. However, 24 hours is fine. We provide turkey, ham and cheese subs, chips, fruit, cookies, water and soda. You are also welcome to bring whatever snacks and drinks you like- as well.
Thanks and see you soon!
