It was such an amazing experience! The sunset was beautiful and we got to see a lot of dolphins. We even got them flipping out of the water behind other boats and next to our boat!

I’ve been to Destin a few times, but never to Crab Island. I’m so glad we chose Tailfins Tikis , our Captain Mike was the best!! He played a mix of music to satisfy everyone onboard (jamming) and we parked in the perfect spot. I would book them over and over!!!

Dolphin & Sunset Cruises

Scott_H, Sept 2026

Dolphin cruise boat captain amazing

The cruise and the people on the boat were amazing. Parking lot company:The parking ticket I got was not. I paid $11.69 to park and they took it out of my account. I got a $55.00 plus $10.00 handling fee ticket. I didn’t get a receipt because it was a QR code. The parking lot company was rude on the phone and you have to dispute charges. Big hassle ruined my trip to Destin. Find free parking and walk to the dolphin cruise.

A great excursion

It was a fun experience. My daughter and I love the captain. When we took off, he explained all the good restaurants what to expect and guide us there smoothly. We bought our own floating device however they had a lot of water toys for us to play with. It was my first time being on a paddleboard and it was fun.

Crab Island Fun

This was the coolest pontoon to crab island! The floats were great and the kids had a blast on the paddle board and playing frisbee, basketball, football, and darts. Our captain, Randy was very attentive and helped us radio the food boats over for food and drinks. We highly recommend this experience.

Traveled solo but had a great experience getting paired with a great group. Great time visiting new people and playing various games in the water. Ticket indicated that I couldn't bring my own alcohol, but that wasnt actually the case, it fact it was encouraged. Due to stormy weather, the company had to cancel my first trip after we had already gone to the island, but comped me for the following day. I was very pleased with that.
