We had so much fun on our snorkeling adventure! The experience was well organized, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and we felt safe throughout the trip. We saw beautiful marine life and made wonderful family memories. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. The hermit crab race was fun as well.

The adventure started on time and was just an amazing experience! This was my first trip and I won the hermit crab race! The dolphins were showing off and I discovered that I'm a snorkeler! The guides were kind, amazing and informative. Truly a great experience!

    EXCELLENT Family Activity for All Ages!

    Janet_A, Jul 2026
    Kyle and Ryan were AWESOME! Very laid back yet professional. We felt safe at all times. BEAUTIFUL snorkeling at the rock wall stop. (We would have liked two of those experiences rather than the crab stop, but some people love the crab stop, too!) Overall an excellent family activity!

    Family friendly

    Very easy snorkeling for little kids or older adults. The crew was very nice and responsible. We loved the hermit crab race and found some beautiful shells.

    Definitely had a great time with the hosts. They were very informative and took us to some cool spots to snorkle. We also saw a lot of dolphins, came right up to the boat. Thanks for making this family occasion a great one. It was definitely worth it.

    Fun times

    Kelly_C, Jul 2026
    We seen a few dolphins and the jetting area was nice lots of small fish We found some hermit crabs and a seahorse

    Good but not great

    MdJunayed_S, Jul 2026
    The captain was more focused on snorkeling. He gave us a lot of information. He was good. But the problem is he was not that much interested in seeing dolphins. He took us to two snorkeling sites, and when we were traveling from the first snorkeling spot to the second one, we saw just 2 dolphins. That's it. He should have taken us to any special spot where we could see more dolphins. Overall it was good but not great.

    Two excursions in one!

    Kenyeda_S, Jun 2026
    Please arrive on time, whatever time you book please be there 20 minutes early, if you are checking in when it’s check in time you will miss the shaded area on the boat. Over all it was a great experience!

    This is a really great experience. Just wish these snorkels were new. I would’ve been willing to pay for my own snorkel. The weather was great. The guys took great care of us wonderfully experience for my kids who never smoked before.

    Peaceful

    Such a fun experience, even for little ones! We saw sharks & dolphins!! We got to collect several cool shells. We even found a live sand dollar, which we tossed back. Several hermit crabs & a few jelly fish were saw, too.

    Perfect family outing

    Brianna_N, Jun 2026
    Great family outing! We took our 3 and 10 year old and both had a blast. The boat ride was relaxing and just long enough between snorkeling and shell hunting. We saw dolphins and caught hermit crabs for the hermit crab race which was a huge hit. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. They provide the snorkeling masks and life jackets if needed. Great crew and great fun! Boat has plenty of shade too!

    Great experience with super friendly staff. We had two great snorkeling spots and saw several dolphins between them.

    So much fun! A must do!!

    Amanda_S, Jun 2026
    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.

    Amazing!

    David_L, Sep 2025
    The crew was amazing and very accommodating to everyone. There were lots of jellyfish so they took us to see dolphins first and we came back to snorkel after the jellyfish had cleared out. We saw at least 40 dolphins and the captain positioned the boat so everyone had a chance to take pictures. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

    So worth the money!!!!

    Tanya_B, Aug 2025
    We had the best time! Perfect weather...saw a lot of dolphins right next to the boat. Awesome boat ride!! Snorkeling was fun too...saw lots of hermit crabs, schools of fish, and a few jellyfish. Captain Owen was a great driver. First mate Caroline was great too!! Very safe, fun, and relaxing!!

    Crew were very friendly...

    Jonathan_W, Aug 2025
    Crew were very friendly and tried their best to find dolphins to see but had no luck. First stop was great and had so many fish

    Viator changed the time of the tour. Good tour agency, Viator is not the right app to reserve.

    Sergio_P, Aug 2025
    I reserved for 10 am but the reservation showed to be at 8 am. It was a Viator issue as I checked several times the schedule. I lost my tour because of that. I called the tour agency and they were able to take us on an 11 am tour for only dolphin cruising. Thank to them I did not lost all of the money I payed. We were expecting to do some snorkeling.

    Dolphin/snorkel two stop tour

    Molly_H, Aug 2025
    Snorkeling is fun, but easy. Not a lot of colorful fish, but the dolphins and tour guides make up for that.

    Jolanta_D, Aug 2025
    It is family oriented, safe and fun! Josh and Hanna were very good and took good care of all of us. Very responsible. We saw dolphins too. Picking crabs and crab race was a lot of fun. Next time in Destin we will take this 2-stop tour again! Parking is limited and roads are crowded so plan to be there 40 min ahead of time. We came 1 hour early and it took 20 min to get a parking spot.

    Great time!

    Natasha_G, Jul 2025
    Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour. I'm happy we did this.

    Patricia_R, Jul 2025
    Awesome experience for families to do together. My children and their children enjoyed it so much. The staff was helpful and great at their job as well as knowledgeable about everything. Would definitely do this again.

    Wonderful!
