The dolphin sunset cruise...
The dolphin sunset cruise was such a great experience. The crew was friendly and made everything easy and enjoyable. We saw dolphins and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. It was relaxing, fun, and definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Best boat rental place in Destin!
We had an amazing time! They were very informative and explained everything we needed to know. We rented the boat for 8 hours and it was more than enough, the 4 hour tour was 250 but for 100 dollars more we could take it for 4 hours more! Definitely worth every penny!

Great trip
Enjoyed everything about the trip. Captain Casey was great, we received a call from him prior to the trip to make sure we know where to go and where to park. He was fun, professional, made time to snap pics, and made sure we were comfortable.
We had a great time at the crab island and cruised around for the last hour. Definitely recommend !

It’s a great time!
This tour was so much fun! We saw so many dolphins and spent the majority of our time on our feet watching them! Daniel and Tanya were very knowledgeable and energetic! They had great music, funny jokes, and made everyone feel welcome. They also took time to take pictures of our whole group a couple times (on was even with the sunset behind us.) I highly recommend this tour!

Saw a ton of dolphins....
Saw a ton of dolphins. Josh, the captain, was entertaining. Great times had by all. Would definitely recommend. There is a huge stair case with 50+ stairs in order to get down to the dock. Had some elderly family member so that was tough for them to get down but the experience itself once we got to boat was great.

Hydrojet is the best
If someone text you to reschedule a time for the hydrojet excursion it's not a scam. CJ, Abraham and the lady inside of the location processing tickets to ride are all fab. Music was enlightening it made people happy when the world is yet so cold. On the boat, it has no effect. Hydrojet for your experience, ok. Go ahead a book, no lies told. Safe, kind, considerate. Please take tip cash or ask for cash app soon as I get on. Show some love to em.

Nice Ride / Pretty Sunset / Definitely Dolphins!
Sol y Luna is a fairly large sized pontoon boat with upper & lower decks; Capacity is about 100 but seating not available for 100; Has a couple tiny lavatories in case you gotta go during the approx 100 minute ride; Very clean vessel that seems new (or recently renovated); 3 crew members (super-pleasant; helpful); No refreshments available on-board from the tour company (bring you own water/snacks); Family-friendly for sure; Be aware that when the breeze hits you as and after the sun sets, it gets chilly so bring a sweatshirt/jacket;
During the initial cruise out into the bay, not seeing any dolphins reminded me of a Hawaii visit where I saw no turtles during sea turtle season, and an Iceland visit where I saw no northern lights on any of the 7 nights I was there, but alas, tally-ho!, after our boat got way out into the bay before sunset, we saw plenty of sightings of bottlenose dolphins break the water’s surface on this Apil-01-2026 tour. Including two “baby” dolphins! The boat captain was quite skilled & knowledgeable about maneuvering as close as the dolphins would allow. Note that the bay water floor is dark even in the very shallow areas, so you cannot see anything swimming below the surface (all looks fairly black/dark), only the dorsal fin, and when the dolphin body pops out for their typical curl dive.
Difficult to get pics of the dolphin action, but easy to get great pics of the sunset and the moon. Very smooth/calm ride, with a great music playlist on a decent boat-equipped sound system. Tipping is expected, as is for most tour services. All-in-all, this was a worthwhile boat ride / sighting tour.

Awesome Experience!
The Dolphin Cruise was terrific! The captain was awesome- he knew the places to see the dolphins and also provided a nice overview of the history of Destin as well as good places to eat along the waterfront. The 2 young women who were the crew were also great. They took photos of us with the sunset and were very helpful.

It was amazing went with my girlfriend for our baecation and we had so much fun. Got to see a couple dolphins jumping out the water and it was just an amazing sight all around, the tour guide was fantastic and very friendly. I highly recommend to anyone even if you never rode a jet ski before!

Cruising and Boozing
Absolutely wonderful time on our 3 hour adventure. The trip out was great as our captain, Sam, gave us incredible knowledge about the local area. The boat had games to play while we chill on the sandbar. They had food and non alcoholic drink vessels that tootled around if you desired. We of course did the BYOB and boozed it up. Was a spectacular day and a very good time. Would highly recommend and we will do it again. If you can request a captain, Sam is your choice. Made the trip even better.
