Family friendly outing

Captain Tanner and mate Vernon were excellent- friendly and attentive! Absolutely the best music!!! Thanks Capt Tanner wife!!!! Water is deep enough to keep you cool but great for school age kids.

Great experience! Captain...

Great experience! Captain Harry did an amazing job and was so friendly! Short boat ride out to Crab Island. We saw dolphins on the way! We loved the paddle boards, lily pad and floating seats. Capt Harry had a football that was a lot of fun to toss around. Weather was beautiful. Such a fun activity with many memories!

4 Hour Destin Harbor Crab Island Excursion

Morgan_H, Jun 2026

Fun trip to crab island

We had a really fun trip and would definitely go again. The crew was young but very knowledgeable, professional, and focused on keeping everyone safe. The confirmation email stated that children would be fitted for life jackets and would be required to wear company-issued jackets. However, when we arrived, only emergency life vests were available. I recommend bringing your own if your kids need one. The water was very shallow and my 6 year old was able to stand. We had a great time and I would go again.

Great music, paddle boards, floats, etc. my son caught several hermit crabs and a big blue crab, which was also a really cool experience! Would definitely recommend!!

2 Hour Shell Island Jet Ski Dolphin Tour

Jessica_T, Jun 2026

Fun, thrill ride!

This was my first time driving a jet-ski. To participate, you must complete a FL boating safety test to receive a temporary license. I failed it the first time, so I did the study test before retesting. It took me about an hour to complete before I retested. This process was a little off-putting, but I understand the importance and legality of knowing basic water safety before operating someone else's equipment. It was a big relief to pass and get on the water. The guide leads the way, and we followed behind on our own jetskis. He took us around several different areas and gave brief information about certain areas. The ride was very fast-paced, and I lagged behind a lot, but the guide was patient with me, being that it was my first time and I wasn't as fast as the other participants. There is definitely a learning curve, but it's worth it! We had about 45 minutes to explore Shell Island, and I used some of that time to solo drive and practice on my jetski. When it was time to ride back, I was better at keeping up with the group. Overall, it was a fun experience!

I wasn’t sure what to...

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I booked for the day before in error, Viator was able to contact the vendor and correct for then. The captain was amazing and when we arrived at Crab Island I was like OmG, this is going to be so much fun. It was a great experience and well with the money and more. I was solo and thinking this would be a fun time for a girls and family and as well.

Destin Harbor Sunset Eco Dolphin Cruise

Cruzin Open Waters

Ozzie and Dawson were great. Cute sense of humor. Great playlist of music while cruising on the boat. Pointed out good places to eat, some history and places NOT to eat. Didn’t see a sunset due to cloud cover, but did see some dolphins and took great videos and pictures. Would highly recommend this dolphin cruise and will definitely do it again when we return to Destin. Thanks Guys!!

Destin Dolphin Cruise

Thuyan_L, Apr 2026

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.

Dolphin & Sunset Cruises

Leisa_J, Mar 2026

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.
