Top Destin Water Tours - page 6

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! 🐬💙

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.

We had an amazing time on our Crab Island boat tour! Delaney and Delta were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and made the entire experience feel so fun and relaxing. They went above and beyond by providing fun water toys and activities for everyone to enjoy. What truly stood out was how much care they showed my 9-year-old. They made sure he had the best time, and it turned into an experience he will never forget. That meant everything to me as a parent. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly, and memorable time at Crab Island, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you again, Delaney and Delta, for such a special day!

Great adventure with my grandkids. Only thing to note is it was 1 1/2 hours from boarding to debarking. However that was plenty enough time to enjoy every moment! Beautiful, peaceful, and entertaining for all. Crew members were excellent. Caution on the steps.

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!

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!

We had an unusual experience because it was cold and windy the day we went out. We still enjoyed the pontoon ride and sites we saw, but didn't make it to crab island due to the waves. If it were a nice day, I know we would have enjoyed the island too!

Great Experience. Our captain was willing to not only take us to Crab Island but also gave us the option to split our time sightseeing. Very considerate, kind, and laid back. The boat was spacious and came with everything as described. Beautiful day. We experienced a morning season, which was still hot in mid-July; we would recommend the morning over the afternoon. Tons of jellyfish, crabs, and fish to see. This was a highlight of our visit. The time flew by, and tons of food, drink, and snack vendors were on the water with plenty of options. Will very likely rebook on our next visit.
