This tour was so much fun! We saw so many dolphins and spent the majority of our time on our feet watching them! Daniel and Tanya were very knowledgeable and energetic! They had great music, funny jokes, and made everyone feel welcome. They also took time to take pictures of our whole group a couple times (on was even with the sunset behind us.) I highly recommend this tour!

This experience was so amazing, the captains dale and Jesse were so fun! Dale was dancing with our 11 year old and let both of our kids drive the boat. The music was awesome as well. And we saw lots of dolphins! They know this water very well! I cannot recommend this more! We had a blast!

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.

Perfect Evening

My fiancé and I had so much fun on the sunset dolphin cruise! We got some amazing up close shots of dolphins and many good sunset pictures! 10/10 would do again!

Memorable sunset cruise with a fantastic family-run team!

Melissa_V, June 2026
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our sunset cruise! While the dolphins were a bit shy and we didn't see as many as we hoped, the perfect weather and the incredible hospitality of Captain Daniel and Tanya made the trip a highlight of our stay. They are such a fun, entertaining team! A huge shout-out to Tanya, who is fantastic with a camera—she captured so many special moments for us that we’ll cherish. I love that they are a local, family-owned business that clearly puts their heart into the experience. If you’re looking for a memorable evening on the water in Destin, this is the one to book!

Look no further!

Katie_B, May 2026
Daniel and Tonya were the best guides for our sunset dolphin cruise. There are things you pay for and then there are experiences above the rest. You can tell Daniel had a sincere love of and admiration for the dolphins, the ocean, and the earth. Daniel knew all the spots to see the dolphins (we saw tons!) and they even made sure we got an amazing sunset photo. Our daughter was a little nervous and Tonya made sure to encourage her and make her feel even more comfortable, without us saying anything to Tonya. You will not regret supporting this family owned business (Daniel’s mom is in the gift shop!) and having the time of your life. Thanks for the memories. 🫶🏼

Response from Host, June 2026

Whether it was the beautiful waters of Crab Island, the dolphin sightings, or simply relaxing with family and friends, we're honored to have been part of your Destin vacation. Captain Daniel and the crew look forward to seeing you again on your next visit!

Beautiful Sunset Cruise!

Duane_L, May 2026
Far exceeded our expectations. These folks know what they’re doing and work really hard to make sure everyone sees dolphins, gets plenty of photos and just has a really good time. You can also bring your own drinks (no glass) and snacks on board which was an added bonus. Highly recommend this experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Dolphins everywhere!!!

Crystal_H, Apr 2026
They just get it. Good music. Peaceful vibes. Dancing, singing and dolphins were our crews specialities. Brought my husband and 5 year old son and I truly believe this is appropriate and a must do for everyone (if you want to have a nice night out on the water/at sunset with dolphins swimming in the background😉).
