Dolphins and sunset lover
Great experience! Captain Daniel was professional, fun and skillful behind the wheel. Tanya was also excellent keeping the trip fun. The most highlight was seeing so many dolphins around the boat. I have never seen so many dolphins in my life. The sunset view was phenomenal. We took lots of sunset views. Would strongly recommend Bikini Bottom tour to friends and family.

Great afternoon with Family
Captain Amber made our afternoon with just the girls in our family such a special one. She was very attentive to our needs. The boat we had was so nice and we had everything as described in the description. We loved it so much that we paid to stay an extra hour, and it was so worth it. Our sunburns say it all but we don’t care we would do it all over again. Thank you for a great afternoon. We definitely will use you again the next time we’re in Destin.

Perfect adventure for families
Spencer and Izzy were so much fun and made the whole experience super enjoyable. They kept kids busy, played great music, and made sure everyone had a great time. They took us the long way back to make sure we got to see the dolphins, and showed us the water critters that came our way while on the island. Definitely recommend for everyone thinking about taking their family!

Fun, quirky local activity
Our captain, Shane, made our day! It was a windy day and he let us decide if we wanted to go to Crab Island or stay on a beach or just do our own little cruise. He parked us on an area where the wind was blocked and we were able to enjoy the water and floaties. He was super helpful and accommodating. Fun day and such a quirky local thing to do.

10/10 worth every penny
We had such a great time on the hydro jet tour in Destin! The staff was so friendly and made it a fun, family-oriented experience. The best part was seeing dolphins up close right next to the boat—so cool and unforgettable. Definitely recommend if you’re in Destin! 🐬💙

Laid back Crab Island Trip
This is a big pontoon-style boat, partially shaded, with a restroom. It has long benches down each side and some benches in the middle too. It brings a bunch of people out to the sandbar for four hours. They provided a shark and tube floaties, some noodles, and a lilly pad. They played music. They parked near a bbq restaurant boat. Justin and Patrick did a great job.
It was a chill, laid back experience. You bring your own food/drinks and they have a cooler and garbages. The only downside is that the boat isn't ideal for lounging. However, you could bring floating lounge chairs and enjoy it that way, if you had them.
It was cooler and windy when we went. The kids took awhile to get in the water but then had a lot of fun! My husband and I mostly enjoyed chilling in partial shade, listening to music and not having to entertain our kids. We'd do it again.

Better than expected!
Didn’t know what to expect as it was our first sunset dolphin cruise. Dawson and his deck hand (Patrick I think ) were awesome. Despite having a bit of a Debbie downer crowd of about 45 people they were hilarious, got on the dolphins right away and gave us a great tour of the area. I highly recommend sitting up front if possible for the best views. The sunset was incredible and they took pictures for everyone that wanted one. Highly recommend!

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.

Perfect Sunset cruise
The crew gives you complimentary wine and charcuterie. They had adequate seating to accommodate all the passengers and music selection was good and diverse for everyone. It will be windy on the water so bring a jacket or blanket if you go between Jan.-March.

Fun!
Great fun! The Captain and First Mate
Were first rate! We travelled to a spot to snorkel and view some fish, then headed to where the dolphins play! Drove by Crab Island and then searched for Hermit crabs so we could watch them “race” on the deck before being thrown back into the water. The music and “vibe” was great for a fun trip for all ages!

Pontoon to Crab Island - we drove ourselves!
Very fun trip with my friends!! The pontoon was easy to operate and simple to anchor on Crab Island. We thought 8 hours was going to be too long but it was just right. We had the best time!! Just bring enough alcohol as the vendors are not able to sell on Crab Island,,

its great time, GO!!!
I didn't know what all to expect but heard from many folks in Fort Walton Beach that this adventure wasn't one to miss, this adventure is a blast, its a party for sure, music, byob, swimming, clear emerald waters.. ITS A GREAT TIME!!, on the way back, the group I was with, which I didn't know anyone, half the pontoon boat was partied it up, dancing, music, we had other boats rockin out and even construction workers that are building a bridge going over the bay. I absolutely recommend this adventure..
