100% amazing! So clean, so friendly and so much fun! Everything was top notch and we can't recommend this family owned business enough! Our 10 year old son absolutely loved paddle boarding and we even saw crabs!!

Crab Island is a must do for those wanting to experience Destin. Daniel and Jesse made the experience fun and made us really feel they were there to help make the day as great as possible. I would recommend.

Bikini Bottom Tours was a great experience. They are a local run family business that definitely deserves the support. We had a blast the whole day. They also will help their guest steer clear of the hustlers that try to rip off tourist out at crab island. Anytime I'm in Destin they will be my go to for anything.

This was my first experience on crab island and will be forever memorable my my family and I. The crew was excellent, very friendly, accomodating an kept the vibes flowing for the entire time. The kids had such a blast!

Crazy for Crab Island and Captain Daniel!

Donna_B, Jul 2026
The trip to Crab Island was amazing! Captain Daniel and his first mate - sorry I forgot her name - were personable and hilarious. They were fun, and not the cringy type of fun. They helped me onto and off the boat. I use a cane so I was a little worried about boarding and unboarding, but it wasn’t a problem. The music was great! Also, the trip was the full 4 hours! We would definitely book again. Bonus- Captain Daniel and his first mate are very fit so we had a great view for the ride over.

Definitely coming here again on this boat!

Ann_N, Jul 2026

We absolutely loved this boat excursion. It felt so authentically unique and not just like a typical tourist activity. The crew made the entire experience such a blast, fun, welcoming, and kept the energy up even with the weather conditions. Honestly one of the most memorable parts of our trip and something we’ll be talking about for a long time.
