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!

Excellent experience
Wonderful captain- we had a great 4 hours on the boat! Crab Island was fun to hang out and play in the water with our family. Captain was very friendly and seemed to really enjoy his time working. He was very laid back and up for whatever we wanted to do. I’d highly recommend going this route vs renting a boat on your own. We had no stress- the captain handled everything for us- games, balls, floats, chairs, cooler with ice, music.

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.

If you’re on the fence about going… just do it! It’s worth the time and money.
Absolute blast! Jason and Delta were the best guides. Jason was a knowledgeable and helpful captain that was willing to go out of his way to make our trip amazing. Delta is a wizard at finding crabs and sea horses and keeping the kids entertained. Very happy we went.

So much fun! A must do!!
Be prepared to have a blast!! Took the kids out hoping to see some dolphins and boy were they pleased! We not only saw dolphins but we saw sharks too! And the snorkeling was so cool. We have never done it before and now we are hooked! We saw so many different types of fish.

A dream come true
Nick was the best !!! Going to shell island and getting off to explore was magical . We saw many dolphins & a sea turtle and plenty of fish . If you get Nick as a guide you’re golden even if you have slow pokes in your group . Thanks for making our trip the best Nick

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.

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!!

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.

Beautiful, peaceful, entertaining!
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.

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.

Definitely a nice time!
Owen and Wesley were great! At first they introduced themselves (super friendly) and we were off to crab island along the way we stopped a few times to see some dolphins. It was a beautiful day out and when we made it to crab island it was packed but the guys found a spot easily and we spent a few hours out there on some floats enjoying the water, music and vendors. Would definitely recommend!
