Had a wonderful time. Captain was very informative of the landmarks and various spots. The crew was super friendly and helpful. Saw and was able to get awesome photos of the dolphins. The sunset from the boat was spectacular.

It was a fantastic experience, it was fun to see a lot of Dolphins, the bay was pretty and we see a little bit of the sunset

Great experience! We enjoyed the entire ride. The host also we great. The next time I’m in Destin I will most definitely book again.

It was our anniversary and it was a beautiful view. The only issue was the purposeful rocking and side to side motion and up and down.

It wasn’t so much a cruise, but an idling in the water. Yes, dolphins were seen. But thought there would also be more of a sunset cruise viibe. There was no guide experience with facts, etc.
The staff encouraged feeding the gulls by throwing Doritos, chips (purchased on the boat) to the birds. We were sitting on the top deck so we were directly under the many birds. Not enjoyable to say the least. I was told by the staff that we would at least cruise over near crab island, but that was not to be. Our group included my husband and our adult aged daughter. Disappointing experience. I chose this excursion because we’ve had positive experiences with Viator in the past.

We had so much fun! Crew was amazing and friendly! Will definitely do the cruise again when I come back to Destin. Thanks Olin Marler!

I booked the sunset tour with Dolphy Tours expecting a 90-minute experience focused on dolphin watching, especially since my kids were really excited about it. Unfortunately, the way the tour was structured made it disappointing.
The first 60 minutes felt like a complete waste of time. Instead of heading out to see dolphins, we were taken through the backwaters while the guide pointed out various restaurants and seafood spots. This might appeal to some adults, but it’s honestly not engaging for kids. The main reason we booked this tour was for dolphin sightings, not a rundown of local dining options.
By the time we finally reached the area where dolphins could be seen, the kids had already lost interest. They were tired and frustrated after waiting so long. Initially, there were barely any dolphins visible, which made things worse. Only in the last 10 minutes did we actually get to see a good number of dolphins—and that part was great—but by then the excitement was already gone.
I strongly feel the tour should be structured differently. From a customer experience perspective, especially for families, it would make much more sense to prioritize dolphin sightings first. Once people have had that highlight experience and are relaxed and satisfied, the guide can then take time to showcase local attractions and restaurants for those who are interested.
Overall, the ending was enjoyable, but the buildup took away from what should have been the main highlight. This is something I hope they reconsider to improve the experience for future guests.

It was amazing!! We got to actually see sharks as well and lots of dolphins!! We went out toward the ocean and the dolphins were playing in the waves!! It was all around awesome! I would definitely recommend to others to go on this boat for dolphins sight seeing!!

Michelle_W, Apr 2026
We went on the 6pm dolphin cruise and were able to enjoy the sunset as well as see many of the dolphins.
Alexandria_B, Apr 2026
The experience wasn't awful but it wasn't good. The boat was fine. Didn't really see too many dolphins. They allowed other guests to play music on their jbl.. and it was super inappropriate for kids. The female employee was talking about dolphins sex which also was inappropriate. It just could have been better.
Jovani_W, Apr 2026
It was great no matter where you sat on the boat, captain made sure you can see everything. Totally would do it again.
Elizabeth_H, Apr 2026

Absolutely loved it. We got to see so many dolphins. I had been on a cruise at Clearwater a few years ago and only saw one dolphin. This cruise was amazing.

Family and I did the sunset time and got to see a lot of dolphins. Crew was awesome as well. Definitely worth doing
Leisa_J, Mar 2026
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.

Don_C, Mar 2026
We had an amazing dolphin cruise. We saw a lot of dolphins during our trip. The captain was fun and informative. Would highly recommend this cruise.
Sara_S, Mar 2026
Tonight was chilly, make sure you dress warm. It was a beautiful sunset The crew is so knowledgeable and respectful to the animals. They moved the vessel around as much as they could so we could see the dolphins without driving through their path.
