Our Shell Island Dolphin Tour is Panama City Beach's only partially guided jet ski tour. After arrival and check-in, our experienced staff will give some safety and trip instructions. Once we are on the water, we will embark on a fast-paced adventure in the emerald waters of St. Andrews Bay. Weather permitting, we will enter the Gulf of Mexico on a hunt for wildlife. Dolphins are our main attraction, but sea turtles, manatees, rays, fish, and crabs are just some of the species that have been seen in the water. We will then circle back to the bay side of Shell Island for a quick break. The pristine beaches of Shell Island provide the perfect spot to catch your breath before taking off for some more riding. At this time, guests will take off on their own for some exploring. Guests are welcome to spend this time continuing to ride their jet ski, walking on the beach or swimming in the bay. With about 15 minutes remaining guests will gather and follow the guide back across the bay.

Tailfins Tiki Boats Crab Island Sandbar(3hrs)

Danielle_W, Mar 2026

Tiki Boat Dream

Definitely something adults should experience. A traveling tiki boat!! Chairs were comfortable!! They had a restroom on board, place to put your alcohol, if you drink, floaties and a ladder that is easy to climb. Music was awesome and the Capt was friendly. Helis instructions were well articulated and he catered to those who were in the ocean making sure when they asked for their specific drink, he got it for them. Kurt was amazing to say the least. He made sure everyone was safe and had a great time.

Stephanie_D, Feb 2026

Really enjoyed our first...

Really enjoyed our first dolphin/sunset cruise. The captain was very knowledgeable about Destin history which I enjoyed hearing. The 2 young ladies helping were very interactive with the passengers , especially the kiddos! The sunset was beautiful and a multitude of dolphins were spotted. We will be back and next time we will bring our granddaughter!

Sandestin Sunset Eco-Dolphin Cruise Aboard Sol y Luna

Mandi_D, Oct 2025

Amazing tour- very family friendly!

The sunset dolphin cruise was an excellent choice overall! It took us a little while to find dolphins, but once we did, we were able to watch them from a close distance for 10 to 15 minutes and enjoy the sunset as well. Captain Morgan worked really hard to make sure we found dolphins. He was very nice and the music playlist was very fun as well. We have four small children and our entire family enjoyed this experience very much! We will make this a tradition on future trips back to Florida.

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.

Private Crab Island Double-Slide Pontoon Charter Experience!

We had such a fun time on our private Crab Island double-slide pontoon charter with Captain Aedan! The slides were a blast, even for our all-adult group, lol. We also loved having the paddle boats and the floating lily pad to enjoy, and our group made good use of them all! It was so nice getting to choose our own music and really make the day our own. Captain Aedan was very laid back and friendly, and he checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. He even offered to help out with drink refills, which was nice! Overall, it was such an easy, fun, and relaxing trip, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Destanie_F, Jul 2025

Fun July Day

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.

things_to_do

Famous for its white sand beaches along Florida’s dazzling Emerald Coast, Destin is best explored from the water. Ride waves with dolphins on a jet ski, see their fins from above on a parasailing adventure, or follow their pods on a banana boat ride with friends. Snorkeling in Choctawhatchee Bay is a great way to spot colorful fish and turtles, while an excursion to Crab Island—a submerged sandbar favored by boaters—is perhaps the most iconic experience in Destin. Hang out on a boozy tiki cruise or enjoy the marine life from a kayak or paddleboard—Destin tours span all ages and activity preferences.
